3) Magnetos.

4) Lorenz for sure!

5) Secondary lights for instruments and external taxi lights as well.


Add these final details to the Ju88 and the CEM would be a masterpiece!

In short complex engine management is a must for a serious combat sim like CoD and it helps differentiate our sim from the rest.

As far as the animorphic goes its also a must have for all that just dont have the buttons to spare on there joysticks etc.

Your 5 points are all possible but may take a third party to implement someday...or, if we pressure 1c for them, sometime down the road.

I was watching a clip on you tube of Mark Hannah flying a spit mk9 and when he landed he was talking to some old fly boys who used to fly them in the war. They were talking about engine management and i could understand and relate to their conversation. If I had been playing il2 1946 I would have been left out of the conversation.

Thanks, but I was just one of many vocal supporters of cem. We were all very happy when Oleg announced his decision.

6) replace the CSP unit with a manual variable propeller unit (like in the 110). Great would be an aditional automatic setting wich would keep the engine rpm at 2350rpm for start and dive

Exclusively, and mostly in a Blenheim!

In fact, I seem to recall that originally the fuel mixture control actually worked in the Blenheim (currently it doesn't), and magnetos had to be manually switched. I'd like to see a return to this set up for all a/c.

Dons asbestos suit...

Full CEM anything else is for girls, especially wonderwoman view...

[Dano]

Always, which is why we need a pre-heated engine option or missions designed to suit a warm up period, nothing more frustrating than watching you flight leader roll off down the runway when your engine is stone cold.

Actualy, gameplay in cod is only about cem and mp (with little restrctions) otherwise i would play BF3. The best part of Cod is the cem,so...

[ramstein]

There are large groups of older pilots who like less complexity,, we get passed this stage of wanting to be superman in every way.... we just want to fly... so as long as there are simple modes for us, and long goring screwy complexities (like the old briggs and stratton lawnmowers...or even the model A's and T's...) you want o go outside at Below zero degrees and clean your spark plugs, fine, but we want to hit fly and fly...

just sayin'

what you say is true. but there is a difference between CEM, and complex engine start. i want both, and i cna see the sedond beeing hard to convince people into, but the first, without it, COD just doesn't make much sense too me.

I'm old, or so my kids tell me, nudging 60 and as far as I am concerned the more realistic the better and that means being as complex as real life as far as a computer will allow. Anything less is heading for the world of consuls I think. Have easier options for those not so keen by all means.

[robtek]

To dumb the game down (easier CEM) is imo plain dumb.

Imo the CEM is still by far missing the C - part.

I want it all, AND the server-option to make it playable for the softies also.
