Future of simulations 2010 discussion

The option for the full workload, especially for fighters, is a must imho.
The amount of the workload during a dogfight, or even before, can be decisive for the outcome.
Imagine a 109e3 with manual proppitch, needing constant adjustments to get optimum power, vs a hurri with constant speed prop. One error by the emil pilot might cost him the speed and energy needed to win.
Or switching to a empty tank for the hurri.

well, the choice would be: be mediocre with many planes or a ace with your special plane.
That would really add to the sim-part, as now, in il2, there are way too many aces and not enough mediocre or newbie fighters.

I found this one interesting:

20mm: Let's say I win the lottery and make available a large pot of cash to any developer who could make the best case for a new simulation, without regards to a specific genre. With no budget constraints and being able to do anything, what would your submission look like?

Oleg: Oh, I have revolutionary ideas, but I don’t like to say them out loud. I was in hope to make it in my new sim, but I’m not sure that it is possible with a limited budget. If you really have such money, I would say come to me and under a strong NDA I will tell you what to develop, and which people in the world to hire for this project, etc.

I think he's talking about a modern built, high quality, WW2 Air, Land and Sea Massive Multiplayer. He was talking about this for quite some time.


Anyone of you has some extra cash?
