A few questions about Desert Wings

[Feathered_IV]

I've been watching the development of the Tobruk expansion with interest, and hoped to find out a few things now that the title is close to release.

 

Will it be possible to use the mouse-wheel as a throttle in Desert Wings?  Clod did not feature that option, however I have enjoyed that arrangement in every flight sim I've owned for the last 20 years and would love to have the chance to fly the same way in DW.

 

Will the system of AI radio calls and voice acting see any rework or expansion?  At present the British and German forces only have one auto-gen voice each.  The voice that you hear as your wingman is also the ground controller, the other pilots, and every other member of your air force.  The pilots do have a degree of variety in the number of things they say, which is most welcome.  However having some different voices to spread around would improve things immensely.

 

Additional to the above:  Will the Italian pilots have a voice of their own in Desert Wings, or will they used the default German voice as in Cliffs of Dover?

 

Thanks for looking, and good luck with the release!

Not currently, but I’ll check with the rest of the team to see if this can be done.

German and British radio calls have remained the same as in the previous version.

Sì, gli aerei italiani ora avranno voci radio italiane.
