Is it enabled?  For newbies, for everyone, for no one?

Anyone try it?

It is enabled in MA, and I tired it. If you have played this game for more than a week, there is no reason to use this. It realllly disables the plane, and kills it's turnign ability. It's good for people just starting.

WB easymode had a lot more than an AoA limiter, at least if you believe the hysterics on AGW.

I don't matter if it kills the plane or not. I don't want the thing to be turned on by anyone if he's not a newbie.

No EZ mode in MA, please. THIS is EZ mode.

Easymode in WB did 2 things: AoA limiter and autotrim.
It did weird things in vertical, as the planes wouldnt depart, but merely 'mush' out, making standing on the tail and weird vertical moves possible. It was also a much more stable gunnery platform.
It also made stickstirring rampant, as people wouldnt stall out while doing it. The day easymode was removed, 60% of the topscorers disappeared from the top20, together with 95% of the rollwarping 190s. (And a large amount of the Ki84's disappeared too, as they were quite prone to spinning).

AoA limiter won't allow you to do weird things in the vertical.  Must have been some kind of excessive trim authority on the autotrim or something else completely.

Have you tried it yet?  I haven't and have no idea whether it is the cog in Satan's Master Plan as you seem to Ram.  Therefore, like a rational adult, I will reserve judgment until I see that it is.

yes, I've tried it offline... Enough to know that is like a car having ABS in F1.

Sure, it's better to have direct control over braking.

But sure, it's much safer to have ABS.


That's why they banned ABS from Formula-1 racing.  That's why this shouldn't be allowed for everyone in the main.

He who turns this on and stays in strict Bnz has a definite advantage over the rest of the people. IMO, of course.

I don't mind this being enabled for newbies. I DO mind if this is enabled for non-newbies.  It shouldn't be.

stall limiter transforms Ah from a simulator to a mere game. I don't agree with it at all,not even for newbies. Real pilots didn't have stall limiters when they were checking out in their planes. The training arena and a Zero should be enough for newbies :P

Would you be pissed if someone was riding in the Tour de France with training wheels on their 10-speed?

If I was part of one of those big groups of fallen runners, yes.

I'ts EZ mode. I'ts in the MA. For everyone to turn it on.

And I don't like EZ mode on in the MA for everyone to turn it on. Can't get more simple than that.

I used to worry abotu EZ in WB. Well, what ? I never saw it missused, usually it took too much of the plane abilities.

No EZ mode can save them from a shooting Wurger doing a high speed firing run.
