Make us navigate to the target on instruments, then give us a narrow opening in a broken ceiling to bomb the target. Asking too much? Probably.I think this is the first console game where I have seen all of us with an actual pilots license (only the FAA calls it a certificate), come out in droves. Has anyone paid attention enough to the Spitfire cockpit to know if the Turn Slip Indicator is working and accurate?
It's a shame they couldn't bend the historical rules a little and give us a PAPI, that would be a lot of fun to mess around with. They should at least make you use a VOR on simulator or realistic, they were invented at the time. If we can't get an IFR mission, give us a mission where you have to track on the VOR to your target. Once again, that is not asking too much for such a great game with such a realistic representation of flight.
Haha IFR training is so different, my flight examiner who is based at the airport KMGY is about 83 years old and can fly like those red bull air race guys. He told me that "Instrument training is an Unnatural Act that is only punishable by god" What that means? i dunno. I just did some NDB appchs and some GPS appchs today. I would LOVE a VASI or PAPI. VOR navigation, REAL dead reckoning. Get some transponder and TCAS action. How about ATC comms, DME arcs, Holds, LASHO, Missed appchs procedues, Circle to land, sidestep.....as i have lost about 80% of the people here. haha im so excited about this game........Or a makeshift LOC/ILS for those in need of help with decents without crashing.
