Poll: Complex Engine Management

[Karnak]

Ironically, this would be about the biggest nerf to Benny's favorite fighter that HTC could do as overly complex engine managment was the P-38's worst feature.  Things like the P-51 and Spitfire were a lot easier for the pilot and the Fw190 was on a whole different level of ease.

I think it should be available as an option, just like stall limiter. I would very much enjoy it. As it stands, I play with RPMs constantly. I cruise at max cruise, I climb (In all but bombers) at normal power, and such, and I would like to be able to do more. I particularly enjoy making takeoffs as realistic as possible, even running a pre-flight check, even though I KNOW everything will work right.

no, the allieds would never get off of the ground for me to kill them

the only addition i want for the engines in a Fire Extinguisher on the Bombers, We got the switches in the Cockpits but not able to put fires out

How do you fit that ego into a Bf109?

[Puck]

No.

The game is hard enough for newbs, what advantage is there making it impossible?

If you want accurate get X-Plane and an epic card and go to town

I could go for that if turning it off nerfed the performance a little like the stall-limiter does.

Put me down for a yes, I'm used to being in the minority though.

Negative

Sorry, that would require lghey and spit "pilots" to actually think a bit and....well.....we will CERTAINLY have NONE of that non-sense.

H*ll no.

I am quite aware of this.  I love the P-38 exactly the way she was.

X-plane is a joke.  Aces High II, as it is, is more realistic than X-plane.

The IL-2 series does not have complex engine management.  The only things it has that Aces High II does not is different methods of R.P.M. control for different countries.  It doesn't even have fuel tank selection, something Aces High does partly have.
 

They have cowl flaps and radiator flaps (in applicable rides) as well as mixture settings that we don't have. I think it would have it's place in TOD for the reality crowd but probably not in the MA-quake game most AH customer prefer.

No
Wasn't it HT that once said "this is a game" well lets keep it that way as an enjoyment for a majority rather than an indulgence for a minority.

Yea, I'm all broken up about it
