Just a thought,

WOuld be nice to see the instrament panels show proper measurments for which country the came from.  Metric vs US standards.  Or at least an option to do that for those who want to.

And ammo counters only on the planes that really had them.

First of all get rid of the super uber precission.

All gauges that shows data in real time without delay are a gyros. And those lose calibration ;)

Removing rudder trim gives an advantage to those planes with combat trim for the rudder - auto-clean.

If you removed rudder trim, also remove combat trim please.

Actually, please remove combat trim, I don't care about rudder trim ;)

The impact the ammo counter has on the game, cannot possibly be compared with the impact a rudder trim has on trimless planes. :D

Dear Deity...

...please let at least One thread stick to the subject! :-}

Either gauges accurate for the plane you fly, or options for generic imperial or metric gauges as a player choice, please.  I'm fed up seeing ruddy Imperial measure on everything..

...and if that's a no-go, then change ALL gauges to metric. Far more of us use metric than imperial in everyday life, and far more of the WW2 combatants used metric than the number of those that used imperial.  The current situation, of all Imperial gauges, is neither historical, logical, or convenient to the bulk of the potential player base for AH.

you can remove combat trim when you can force the center to move on the joystick.  The way trim works in our planes with our joysticks is nothing comparable to the way it works in real planes and real flight controls.

I am paraphrasing Toad, who I think has the experience and knowledge to know what he's talking about.

As for metric gauges.  I'm all for them.
