OH my... I hated all the start up procedures for flying Falcon.
When you fly the real thing, you have to deal with real world. When you fly a virtual aircraft... YOU ARE PRETENDING. Why not just pretend like an 8 year old kid does and by pass all whoopla associated with a real world warmup. I don't care how far you go with a virtual cockpit you'll never get full real until you ARE FULL REAL.
I don't want all the complications of real flying in a virtual air combat. I prefer the WW2 air combat, because the planes were fast and powerful enough, yet you still need combat skills. The fast movers knocking down enemies at 22 miles away, etc. Just doesn't make sense for enjoyment.
Don't get me wrong. I am for flight simulator experience as you like it. Oleg has clickable cockpits for the people that think that is feeling of full real. LOL
I just can't forget I'm in my office sitting at my desk facing a monitor and holding a joystick designed for that environment.
Heck... I am not even strapped in. Most of the time I'm half reclining in my big old leather chair.
I have a CH Products MFP programmable keyboard. I set everything to as few buttons possible and circumvent all the complications. Yes, I know the complications well enough. What is my excuse. I work consistently with the computer, and what little time I have is so small for flying IL2 or COD. If I get on for 2 hours a week I feel fortunate. Too much to do and too little time to do it.
I sure as heck am not going to sit in front of the screen like some darn dummy and let a computer program manage my time and life waiting for a virtual engine to warm up. I'll sit there a few seconds, after that something better happen.
Anyone that would wait on such a thing is idea candidate for Pochinko the dullest most boring game ever invented. LOL I cannot for any logical reason understand how anyone can sit an watch that ball drop and bounce redundantly for hours and hours and enjoy it.
