We now have the means to fly the plane realistically. I've dispensed with the cockpit icons on my screen for that reason. I use throttle to set boost, CSP lever to set rpm's -- which I believe the BoB RAF pilots did in 1940. When receiving instructions from an online flight leader to adjust controls in terms of percentages, I can only request "Repeat, please!"
