S!
I rather buy my game as a hardcopy so I can have it on the shelf. Just in case. HAve used RoF plane store without a glitch and Steam too. But still..the game in the shelf is better
Regarding the realism. People want realism that suits their needs and expectations. On the other hand combat sim fans scream and strive accuracy yet they do not want to have even a partial workload the real pilot had. To keep the "fun factor" so to say. Since when was war and dying fun or entertaining? Those vets did not complain about it and flew on, current pilots work under the ever increasing flood of information and advancing technologies in their planes..
Maybe I am one of those fanatics or minority that would not mind having to use the plane's systems as did the real pilots ages ago. To learn it, to see how demanding it really was to be a pilot. The full experience. For me it would be the immersion maker. Not every Joe Average or Fritz Kügelschreiber became a pilot or an ace
