My point is not advantage/disadvantage in the sense of competitiveness. I rarely fly online, and I don't complain about others having what I don't have (but could have if I wished to convert our flat to a hanger). My point is more theoretical. What we call 'full realism' (e.g. in Il2 settings) is basically the faithful representation of
one fraction of the sensual input a RL pilot has. It's faithful, but I wouldn't call it 'realistic', for it very much limited in its scope. This is the truth, but not the full truth, so to say. Wonder Woman View, on the other hand, represents a different approach as it transforms the widest range of RL sensual inputs into one single artificial image which is unrealistic as to details, but more faithful to the 'big picture' (a sort of substitute for the inner ear, peripheral vision, etc). Between these two extremes there are very few possibilities ingame, speedbar on/off, but what else? When horseback requires the ball to be less 'realistic' and more accurate, or the actual trim setting be displayed somehow, then it's a legitimate wish IMHO.
