I love the terrain and especially the grass airfields!  Very cool. 

One suggestion - can you make it so you 'land successfully' anywhere in the grass airfield instead of having to taxi over to some concrete? 

Not a big issue, just surprised me I got a ditch when I landed very smartly right in the middle of the AF.

That is something we have no control of. I'm not sure where you have to be on a grass airfield to get a successful landing.

Wednesday night I was attempting a landing with damage and a dead engine. I could see a 190 off in the distance gradually closing in. I was just about to touch down and totally vulnerable when the FW came barreling in on my six. To my surprise he flew on by without firing a shot. It’s nice to catch a break once in awhile.

I really enjoyed this take on the Leningrad set up. I liked the idea of limiting the active airfields to concentrate the fights and the rotation of aircraft in and out of front line service. It gave things a more dynamic feeling and subtle changes in plane match ups kept things interesting.

Good Job  :aok
