And from the LW side 'Spitfire on my Tail' by Ulrich Steinhilper.

The training process from novice to Fighter pilot was lengthy. Should this in some way be replicated in BoB SoW? If Bob SoW replicates fully the flight characteristics of a Spitfire or Me 109 it should not be possible to simply click and fly.

This may be offputting for the novice player but perhaps the option should be present to graduate through training?

Sorry if this has been discussed before and maybe this concept will be present anyway.

Best Regards,

I disagree.. I think that considering that many of the sim pilots who will be flying SoW have years of flying experience in other sims, some from several other sims..... I think that for them the transition will be easier than it was from say... MSCFS to IL2...or Warbirds/AH/FA to IL2.. I think only the pure novice sim pilot will have problems..... but even the most arcade sim can qualify as a trainer for a more complicated sim.. and like usagold said.... harder does not always mean more realistic..
