A few answers for now
More traffic than I can respond to. I'll try to hit on a few of the questions that I've seen so far.
Clouds- I don't know yet because we haven't tried. Dale has a design in mind that he thinks will work nicely, but we won't know until we try. But we are planning to give it a whirl. We've been talking about making a micro-climate weather system where weather systems are greatly scaled down for playability. Weather doesn't do you much good if the whole server is grounded.
Guncam- Definately. AH has been structured with most of the hooks for a guncam in place. However, I'm not planning on this to be finished before beta ends, but on the other hand, I won't be surprised if it is. If it's not it won't be long after that.
Planes- I still don't know what the initial plane set will be. Part of it depends on how fast we can crank them out and the other part depends on what I can get enough data on to be comfortable with. The initial planeset will be a mix of standard staples and exotics, but they're mostly centered around 1944 to start. As of now, we have a P-51D, Bf 109G-10, Spitfire Mk IX, and a B-17G under construction. Other planes slated to come soon will be the La-5FN, C.205, and N1K or Ki-84. I'm also thinking about using an He 111H-16 as a troop carrier to make the beta a bit more interesting. Past that, we're just going to keep adding planes as fast as we can until we can't think of anything worth doing anymore.

The best on this is the Part about KI-84 and He 111H-16
Would be great to have em both. and if they talked about that for initial plane set then there should be some data laying around in the head office somewhere.
