Perhaps then they'd have to model engine management and you'd have to sit on the taxiway for something like 20 minutes while you go through the checklists and run-ups...
Especially if troops are down at the base.
Why don't we have cowling flaps on the American radial planes with r2800 engines?? They can help landing and forced overshoots and can add a bit of realism!!
Have you noticed that we don't have mixture control on any plane? You would have to change it every time you change your altitude.If everything was that realistic you would sit on the ground for at least a half hour doing your pre-flight and then blow your engine just because your not familiar with all the aircraft's procedures. Imagine that every time you touch your flaps at high speed you lose them, and realistically they would come off one after the other (not at the same time) putting you in a snap roll and possibly braking your wing from stress. I see where your coming from, it's a good idea just not for this game with so many aircraft, if your looking for something that realistic look at Falcon 04, it has a 4 inch manual that goes with it and only one airplane to fly.
I'm just saying when your gear came out they deployed, sorry didn't mention that. And I know that isn't realistic either but in warbirds they came out when gear dropped.
Oh so you mean just the automated visual effect, yeah I guess that would look nice. Maybe even when you speed drop bellow 150 (or what ever it is for the specific aircraft).
But please as I am curious JOACH1M, how can the cowl flaps be used to create an over shoot? ack-ack
