more flight controls

[bagrat]

i would like to see more flight controlls to be enabled or disabled in the "flight" portion of the kneeboard.

the same as "enable stall limiter", i would like to see more choices; cowel flaps, fuel tank selection, mixture leaning, disable auto flap retract (unless that is historical).

yes i know we already have the ability to manually toggle these things, but would be nice if u can select option before flight which would tel the game there is no need for it to interact with these controlls i will do this myself, and in return be rewarded perk bonuses for all the additional things u flew without while landing kills.

The flaps only auto retract because you're reaching the limit speed for that stage of flaps.  This simulates that you have a knowledge of the aircraft and have basic airmanship skills.  Weights, Airspeeds and Limitations.  They just happened to be built in.

You already have fuel tank selection.

[LLogann]

Yes... We need more, better even, control surfaces......

Perhaps some flaperons or elevons or tailerons even................


 



OR...... Is that not what we're talking about here?

How about flapping wings?

You already have fuel tank selection.

Like actual perk points for controlling fuel tank selection!?

u want perks for manually selecting fuel tanks?  might as well as for perks for pulling the trigger too.  it is done manually.  that is a weird request.

not jus that also do flaps auto retract when you exceed use speed? or could i retract my flaps myself by checking a box on the kneeboard?

From another thread:

Adding what you ask on the grounds of making it more challenging is a false argument. You seem to miss the fact that everyone plays by the same rules. The real challenge is not flying the airplane but rather out flying your opponent. So adding what you ask would not make it more challenging, because the goal of killing some one does not become any more difficult or easy because your opponent has to deal with all the same items. So in the end what you ask for detracts from the fun part (fighting) and puts more emphasis on plane knowledge and cockpit management.

2nd in many cases what you ask for becomes less realistic when it comes to cockpit management. With most computer setups  the easy of flying is far more difficult than flying the real thing in almost all regions of flight. So you are asking to make cockpit management much more difficult than flying the real thing.

3rd it would make it much more difficult for a new person to experience is first fight.

Finally as I have said before, you really are just asking to have to remember to push a few more keys on the keyboard. AH is about flying & fighting, not about having to remember a check list.

HiTech

This does not address directly what you are asking, but you get the point, especially with the first one, it puts people on different levels, allowing cockpit management to be the distinct advantage over out-flying your opponent.

bagrat I think what they're trying to say is that points should be awarded for fiting not for flying the plane.  I mean this is not really a true flying simulator but a combat simulator.
