Good try, but not realistic...

[Crispus222]

First off let me say that this is honestly my favourite game on PS3. It's so much fun and as a pilot, I decided to play the campaign on simulator mode. Now I expect realism as much as possible with a simulator mode which they have not achieved.

First, spin recovery. They don't teach this in the US anymore but they do here in Canada still. Spin recovery is as such: If in a fully developed spin, pull off the throttle immediately, full rudder deflection in the opposite direction of the spin. Once the spin has broken, level wings with aileron if necessary and pull out of dive using ailerons. YOU SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE AILERON CONTROL AS IT WILL ACCENTUATE THE SPIN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER. In the game however, it requires you to use aileron control.

Next, how come on full sensitivity, full deflection of the controls on simulator mode (as well as realistic) results in an instant spin? This is not what should happen and is incredibly frustrating.

You guys managed to program spins into the game (good job, because there is so much involved) but where are spiral dives then. Most people on sim mode are going to be entering into steep turns incorrectly which results in spiral dives.

Torque effect is my next beef. After lift off the ground torque effect becomes so minimal that it is not recognized. Why when I am straight and level on sim mode why do I experience torque effect? How about instead you be actually realistic and add asymmetric thrust for climbing and descending because that is a HUGE factor once you have are in the air.

There's quite a bit more (like WEP, that's not realistic and should not be in sim mode...), but I don't want to get into it much more. Except maybe the overpriced DLC on PSN (which has nothing to do with this topic and also has everything to do with Sony...). Bottom line, if your gonna make a simulator mode and say it's realistic, as well as put a caption that says it's for experienced pilot's, then make it realistic... It just bugs me when people on this forum keep saying it's: "SO REALISTIC"... when it's not. It bugs me so much that I created an account just to say this lol...

But, ya... Still an awesome game. Can't wait for the content update!
