Poll: Complex Engine Management
« on: January 12, 2007, 11:59:27 AM »
Every time I bring up the subject of complex engine managment, someone usually replies something like, "Oh, no one wants that, that's no fun."  I'm curious about how many people would.  By complex engine management, I mean the following, implemented as realistically as possible: mandatory fuel selection, mixture, blower, overdetonation, over-revolving, correct relationships between manifold pressure and R.P.M., correct R.P.M. control for each aircraft (German aircraft having the kommandogerat, et cetera), and engine failure due to extreme high and low temperatures.

Do you think that complex engine management would make a good addition to the game, if optional by the server host?  Please respond with a simple "yes" or "no."

i think it would be a cool addition, but as you say, it should be one of the flight mode flags in the arena setup. that way, the MAs can stay the same, just some quick easy stuff, whereas the AvA and special events would have it turned on for realism :)

seeing as most people fly in the MA though, and don't want total realism, i don't think the system would be worth the effort though. IMHO, an improved damage model would be much more appreciated...

No.

I like the current setup which gives you some fuel consumption control.

Heck, I can barely remember to switch my secondary back to guns after dropping the exterior tank.

For complex engine management I turn my joystick around 180 degrees.

Complex engine management for people who aren't pilots wouldn't be a very good "improvement". It might have a role in full realism scenarios, or CT or something, but I don't care for that idea at all in the MAs.

No thanks.

It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Just make it an option like the stall limiter.
