Cockpit guides are included for the Spitfire Mk IXe, the P47-D, the B-25 and the Bf 110 G2. A German and Russian command chart round out the package.

Voice-over interfaces are included for each of the D-Day campaigns, and chatter packs (simulated radio chatter) are available for the American and RAF D-Day campaigns. New interface screens are included for each of the campaigns.
