I think even instantaneous damage messages are too much, but with the lack of wingmen to identify damage for you, and not as much real feedback from the different systems of an aircraft, I can understand why its there. (Just wish it wasn't, keeps us on our toes)

With your and the-rest-of-your-allignment-reasoning-friends here (this saves me time to adress all of you at once ).
With your line of reasoning there would be no reason for having any kind of Realisme setting. We should all fly full real, locked in cockpit, no change in ammo combo or convergence, no weathering (since this would be random), no CEM, no funny windows with the ability to se engine settings, making waypoints on the map, measure distances, chat windows, etc, etc.
There are also not even a reason for user to change allignment. Your first choice of nation should stay with you forever and if you are killed by whatever reason, you should not be able to use COD anymore

For some of us that are flying in Sqd. Having to recruite and train people, things are not as black and white. We do not have the luxury of only taking in recruites that came from a flightschool. We actually have to help folks. Getting them to like to fly this game, and some of them are actually more interested in teamwork and tactics. In order to maximise the effectiveness of my training lesson when I teach tactical lessons , I don't need 2/3 of my trainees to abort due to a blown gasket. Which by the way is a wast of my spare time.
If a learning curve is to steep the game will be shelfed. And if your guys had a little wider view you would also know that community support and mods comes from, guess where....tata...a community
A community consist of people. Ergo the more people who don't give up, the larger a community, the more MODS, the more missions, the more skins, etc.

I don't get paid for my hobby and I have absolutely no problem shelfing COD due to lack of people flying it in my sqd. I can happily contine flying IL-2 1946. The modders are doing a superb job. Playability is excellent. We have SEOW, DCG, GhostSkies, MDS. So why not limit the community and kill COD in the making. I THINK NOT

The feature I have propose are not evasive. Servers without this realisme setting would not allow player to use it.
So you as players have the ability and right to choose another server.
When I see your guys want to impose your rules and opinions on others I get a feeling of the having to deal with religious zealots.


@Robtek
I find it hard to undestand your line of behaviour after reading one of your posts over in SimHQ about being constructive or have you changed opinion

@cheesehawk
Il-2 1946 is also a Sim.
There are plenty of WWII add-on for FSX.


I tried to be nice before, which I prefer. But it diden't work.
I have absolutely no qualms about using a hammer.

BTW: Don't bother writing to me here. I am no longer following this thread. I have agued for the feature.
