Realism or accessibility, what decision should be made?

[Flying Pencil]

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

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 ?

Realism is cool, realism is for bad boys, electric tacometers is for good boys returning to their houses at nine o'clock.

This is a simulator, if he wanted to fly a simple product, fly Ace Combat, HAWKX, or any other of the same style, please this is a simulator, let's keep as a simulator. Thanks

Options are good, realism is better.

Try and keep the amount of realism clickables low, if in doubt, take the realistic route.
