Realism or accessibility, what decision should be made?

Couldn't put it better. Realism is the best startpoint, allow people to turn off stuff that might impact their ability to enjoy the game. Result - everyone happy.

Look at the DCS sires.

Either make a setting switch to turn the full real instruments off or keep the REALISM regardless.

Just to remember : each case according to realism has its own "life" so to say. For example, it has been agreed upon few years ago, that we wouldn`t want to have the guns jamming as in real life.

This post is for the "accesibility guys",

Maybe you should give a try on the following, it's really accesible and I'll bet you'll have lots of fun.



Yeah, that's the one for you, definitely.

This is a SIMULATOR, if you fancy easier things you better give 1942 a try.

* Completely removed overload assessment from carburetters. Rolls-Royce engines will now cut if overload is negative, and will not cut if it is positive. (old values were sneezing at .5G, and cut-out at .25 which we felt were dead on, but this apparently confused most of the players)

Could be we get confused because there is not much inertia, or that plane seem to behave like it's in zero gravity, so that small turbulence makes plane shift gravity too easy.
Instead of fixing symptoms, maybe look for the problems elsewhere.
Coul be a gravity filter that removes small peaks of negative gravity, or less than 1g, would be enough to fix this.
But it can be even more complicated, if it's the same reason the planes moves like paperplanes on ground, with a little wind, maybe the weight of planes and the gravity are scaled wrong?

No, it's because their depiction in the game was simply incorrect.

Now I know where this will go. You will ask "Have you ever flown a Hurricane in real life?"

No, but here is the real shocker, neither has Luthier. For all we know he has only been around the pattern in a clapped out Yak 52 that couldn't get an airworthiness certificate anywhere in the West, and based his tacho needle hi-jinks on some worn out ex-Soviet trainer.

We have heard from real Spit and Hurri pilots who say that the needles don't bounce around like they did in the sim, but damn, we are all knowing flight simmers and can't ever take the word of real pilots, because, well, because we can't.

To "DUMB DOWN" this Sim is to make it just like all those cheap console games.


HOWEVER that does not mean some noob friendly features or help cannot be provided (as long as controls on Multi play setup turn off all n00b features

[Jaws2002]

Don't dumb the game down.
If there are enough people that want more easy gauges, add it in the dificulty settings.
You can't have modern digital gauges in a ww2 sim and pretend you play full real.

Who said anything about modern digital gauges ?
