Realisme setting - CIM request

EAF331 Starfire · #1 07-10-2011, 02:32 PM

I have a wish/request for the developers.

I think that CODs Complex Engine Management realism features are a bit to hard for newbies.

I would really like to see an option in the realisme setting for an IL-2 style text message warning, when overheating of an engine or engine subsystem starts to occur.

Best regards,

It's not that hard at all if you ask me. At least not for the popular fighters which I find almost indestructible. You just need to read in for the appropriate values for the plane you're going to fly. These are posted everywhere on this forum. Search and you'll find. With a little practice I think you'll soon get it.

One of the goals for Dover is to make things more accessible for people new to flight sims. That's why we have those Tiger Moth missions, isn't it? I'm still hoping that someday we'll have the online basic flight training working like was discussed waaaay back when. Me and a non-flying-savvy buddy in a Tiger Moth, teaching him the basics... that would be so great.

Yes, some user-configurable text warnings when you're exceeding certain limits for temperatures, airspeed, G-forces etc. would be a very nice feature. Gradually turn them off as you learn to fly without them.

Why should people learn to walk with crutches first?
To watch for the instruments to assure your crate brings you back is very important, especially later when one can identify the newbie with less or non-existant situational awareness.
If you want it easy, turn off cem, if you want to learn, do it right, without crutches.
My opinion

no question, but a documentation what CEM limits THE GAME are using would be very nice to have !
And the developers should know them - i dont care historical manuals (like this Spitfire manual from the Collectors Edition) , as you can hardly tell if they fit the game calculations...............

And flying the Tigermoth doesnt help you a bit to understand the CEM of a Spitfire IMHO

This lack of documantation (and not only for the CEM) is for me one of the biggest proplems this game has for newcomers!
Old hands, airplane enthusiasts, forum readers might overcome this proplem - but the others ? They will buy the game, and will through it away - and most propably are lost as costumers for further AdOns IMHO.

It is more a sim than a game, look at the offline part

And of course you can use the original manuals, the limits in the sim are the same, except ceiling and for some planes vmax., which is slightly too low.
