oh... think i should reply about how i fly....
the leather chaff's a little bit after a while of flying, but i live with it. when i "die" i toss lighter fluid on my chair and lite it. the realism of actual physical harm is so immersive. i also keep a 5 gallon bucket of water next to me so if i ditch in the ocean. just throw my head under for a few minutes usually makes me feel like im drowning in my plane.
my landloard is getting a little upset at the calls from those below me. seems the screams, and the water seeping through the floor are not welcome. relaxed realism jerks have to ruin the fun for everyone.
im still working on the smoke filled, slowly pass out to fumes, cockpit, and i think it can be solved with a few more bolws of beans... i will be testing that theroy this week, so if you see a plane just flop over and fall to the deck, it's just me.
