It would take a pretty delusional person to believe that a computer flight simulator is the same as flying a real aircraft, but a very large percentage of flight schools do use them as part of their training. If what alpha said made any sense at all, then flight schools would use pac-man interchangeably with flight sim software.

I believe i read something about how real combat pilots can black out from g forces in various maneuvers, so lets see would it make il2 more realistic to have that enabled in the settings or not? Hmmmmmmm, a tough question for alpha but i am sure a few here might have an answer.

By golly we can even turn off the vulnerability on that il2 jet and according to alpha bouncing it off the ground and having bullets and flak bounce off it is no more realistic than having it explode or fall apart in those conditions, and i want to thank alpha one more time for his statement here okay? Really, i can't thank you enough sir.

Oh, lets take a look at engine overheating. I believe that it is possible for a real aircraft engine to overheat, i believe it may have happened once or twice since the wright brothers took to the air, but according to alpha having that disabled in il2 makes no difference in realism. Thanks for the info alpha!

G-force limits. Nope, makes no difference. Alpha says that even though real aircraft fell apart when certain g-force limits were reached, that it makes il2 sturmovik no more realistic having it's aircraft do the same thing. Those poor, poor members of the development team that wasted their time making that feature for us, maybe alpha should get on the development teams asap and keep them from making similar mistakes in the future? Let us hope this happens soon.....

How about pilot vulnerability and clouds? Limited ammo and fuel? Engine torque? Wind? Stalling? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope and nope, all swept away by alpha's superior insight and intellect, i guess we can delete them all in the next patch.

I am taking a screenshot of this thread for sure besides saving it as a complete web-page, so if it ever goes away at some point in the future i can reassure myself and maybe other interested parties that it did indeed happen. Thank-you alpha!


Edit: Got it! Thank god it's safe.......
