Instrument handling masochism

[Kweassa]

..

 Tried "B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty Eighth" from Microprose.
 
 ...

 Tried starting a P-51 just as the manual suggested:

 1. Battery Switch On
 2. Magnetos On (Click 3 times)
 3. Throttle to 0
 4. Mixture to Full rich
 5. Starter On

 * VROOOOM! *

 ...

 After a while.. this.. actually became fun

 Maybe a toggle option to make instrument handling possible/complex??

 ps) I still can't memorize the process of starting 4 engines on B-17s.
       taught me to respect those who flew the lumbering Behemoths.

haha...

I assume the B17 crews also could not memorize and use their checklists at startup

But making the startup engines more complex will make you a sitting duck on a vulched field

Anyway, I would like it....

I have had that game for nearly a year, and the instruments are great, but way too much information......


Love the gunner positions though.  (dirty windows and all).

Course my crew is always  a bunch of chicken @#@# who cower in the fuselage after an enemy fighter passes by.  

The bombsight is also another tough one to figure out.
I love it when the pilot gets hit and passes out at the wheel.
