I was reading a story about a german ace who flew the 190s in russia: he had his engine gripped while flying at low altitude and the windscreen was covered with oil, so he had to fly without the engine thru the roofs of a russian with his head out of the opened canopy!!!
u think it's possible to add this feature, like a bullet hole texture or the oil spitting fx we have on he 109 to the other planes? Think about the big glassy noses of the bombers or the bubble canopies of the allies... that would be cool...

I think all the 109's have this and I know the Spit IX has this. not other plane that I know of has it but I'm sure some will withthe dime project going on.

bullets in the glass are simple to do since on most planes the the inside glass and outside glass are in two models so you could setup a script and just copy and paste.

there might be problems since last I heard there was still some alpha channel problems with clouds and stuff and this might effect the bullets with stuff like square outlines around the effect.

Raider is good about setting up layers of DM so he might be able to help out to add layers of effects like few hits give you 1 or 2 holes, more hits give you more holes and maybe even some blood. You could also setup an effect if the pilot is dead the cockpit outside shows blood but that might be little more then we want.

What I don't like is the red vision we have now when the pilot's dead...
