Hooo boy, me too I guess. Whatever argument the AH Spirit team flavor of the week is, can be argued, no matter how absurd the examples made are.
Toad, fer Gads sake, wanting more than hitting “E” and roaring off for a full hour in 100% throttle in AH does not make a “realism freak”. It’s as an absurd notion as your constant pounding about commercial airline flight examples as a viable comparison to WWII aircraft.
I am to believe that you’re a self-appointed spokesman in WWII sim reality, to the point everyone should believe that engine starts here are mute , because you are bored to tears until you are rolling out and hit autopilot in real life? Has that anything to do with wanting some SIMPLE simulation features modeled in a WWII combat game? Maybe even turning on fuel and holding a hoopty key down for a few seconds to think your engaging a starter?
No.
Where do you find that comparison and confidence to post as if it’s damn near fact, not opinion? You seem to in earnest. I pry got more time in sims, and definitely AH, but I don’t post like I know all the facts. I make suggestions. People aren’t buying IL-2 because of the online servers. I enjoy it and only suggest and hope AH closes the gap on it’s few differencing features, only to make a ultimate massive online game.
Does anyone want a virtual ground crew guy to run out to the plane, hook up ground power, and clear his prop, while he goes through a checklist? I doubt it. Maybe this minority you group into the FLTSIM2002 crowd who would ejaculate to the point you have to run away, but I don’t see them. Certainly not Easymo.
But because that is the P51 checklist, we should all say HTC game play is panacea? The ultimate balance for fun vs. realism is achieved? That’s a stretch, and I find it pretty absurd to make a point on.
As soon as suggestions and wants from the player base stop, then you can blame HTC for only having a few employee’s in which to develop idea’s for AH.
