Yeah, it's mostly a pipe dream...I don't own ClOD, and I don't plan to get a new computer for at least another year, so....
This is a lot to ask for, but if maybe just one or two features get implemented, I'll be happy. Not to brag, but I have flown, and I love it, but I don't have the money or time right now. Il-2 is the next best thing, at least in terms of FM. But in other aspects, it leaves me wanting more.
If this stuff was programmed at least superficially, I could at least pretend I'm doing real systems management
. I already make sure never to run at 100% power for more than a minute, even online. I make sure the cowling flaps are closed when I'm going fast, I never push power past rpms... Am I crazy? Lock me away!
So, if I had to distill this list into something a tiny bit more manageable for a modder/DT member, then I would ask for:
- fuel tank selector.
- fire extinguishers where applicable.
- toggle between auto/manual mixture where applicable.
- realistic power limits (DT has gone one step in this direction with engine reliability feature)
- accurate visual representations of manifold press. and prop rpm. I can't use the engine instruments for many planes because they don't match the literature.
- bomb arming & open bomb doors with consequences for opening doors at too fast of an airspeed.
- consequences for opening cowling flaps when going too fast.
- AP where applicable.
- limit the ability to toggle flaps, gear, etc at the same time, where applicable.
- more as I think of it
Anyway, I'll try to post as many of these as I can and see what happens.
