how about red jam and planes flying by their self (for awhile)

AH2 definitely needs a real-looking sun and more clouds. The sun we have now makes me suspect that HTC's office doesn't have windows or they're all vampires or something

. Vapour trails are a bit more eye-candy ish but would be nice, but a sun and a few cloud layers at different altitudes are much more essential, and would add a whole new spin on combat.

I might have missed it

1) engine smoke on start up would be nice (some more than others of course).

2) Ummm whatcha call those vent thingies that open up on the engines and other areas of the plane, depending on type of plane, when the throttle is opened? it's a feature in Fighter Ace III, yeah it's a crappy game but stuff like that sure helps with immersion. The landing gear retracting/extending is also great to look at but AH is fine in that respect IMO.

3)I love the explosions from bombs in FAIII there may be better, IL2 seems to be the best but for a MMOG the explosions in FAIII would probably be a better choice. even if downtweaked a bit to reduce lag.

Got some other ideas can't recall um ATM

Working canopies, and wings that fold for carrier planes would be cool.

Yes, it is totally useless as a gameplay mechanism

, but for immersion, it'd rock.

When canopies are open, maybe the range of the headmovements can be increased... it'd be cool to look on the side of the plane with the head sticking out during taxing.. also, cruising around in open canopies with the wind in your ears..(maybe larger wind sound when canopy open?).. then when about to engage, everybody closes their canopy.. hehe, that'd be cool..Seeing planes neatly lined up on the runway with caopies open.. and etc etc...

A small feature, but I'd say worth the effort!
