- realistic CEM (including startup and cooldown/shutdown) would add a lot of realism to the game ane open up new possibilities. Not to mention that it would give a lot more to the player even from the limited set of airplanes that we'd have at the beginning. Flying even a simple airplane like a C-150 in reality is infinitely more rewarding experience than flying a Corsair or another complicated airplane in Il-2 just because of the procedures you have to follow. Frankly, as for how much it does for the sim, check DCS forum - everybody has their socks blown off by the realism of the thing. It feels real, and serious - that's what's so good about it. |
1. I don't know what fraction of servers would want to go with this. In the end, 'servers' are driven by what the players will fly in
2. Probably? Possibly, but at the moment it's just a novelty.
3. DCS is ONE cockpit, this has been said before, noone seems to be paying attention. If people want procedures, why aren't they flying MSFS? That's pretty much all it does.
In the end, I'd like it if everyone got what they want, but Oleg has indicated that it's too much work for too little return for complex startup, and he is not a fan of clickpits. It's his sim, he calls the shots.
One last thought, he has indicated the there might be offline mods available (haven't read much detail on this), so everyone might wind up happy.
