But I am serious, this is not a topic for entertaining people, it is about a real issue.
One of the other reason is to not waste our real time life which is not virtual but real.
It is not fun to have a gunner killed and not be able to continue flying even if the pilot is still alive.
In some single player games, you can take control of IA, like IL2 Cliff of Dover (I believe but not sure), B17 and others, which allows us to use our precious time life more in a effective way and not waste our time to hit fly again, take off , navigate...
I which I can create my own simulator , listen the community, take their feedback, modify the sim ... but that is an another story
My intention was certainly not to troll at all! But simply to put my thoughts on the subject! I have never had the problem you claim to have here. Yet you brought up the point of realism. And to be honest, as a pure gamer I have no problems with the possibility og changing places in mulicrew Aircrafts in-game. But from a realism-standpoint it's not realistic at all to be able to change places from pilot seat to te rest in mid flight. So I put forth my idea of an added realism setting that would be nice to have for those who want to have the added realism it brings. if you don't like that idea that's frankly not my problem. I'm entitled to an opinion of my own just as you are entitled to an opinion of your own.

And I like the fact that if you change seats from pilot to a gunner seat and get killed there the mission is over! Just as if you were killed while sitting in the pilot seat. I think so because I see it as you play the pilot character you have created and he is the pilot. And it's not realistic that he would just switch seats with one of the other crewmembers in midflight (but as a pure fun-factor we can do that). But if a pilot would do that in real life anyway, and he would be killed on a gunner station for instance he would be dead just the same. And if it was a single pilot aircraft the plane would most likely crash since none of the other crewmember would have any pilot training. So for me I like the fact that if I get killed after I have switched to another station the mission is over since it brings an additional level of realism. That is not me trolling! That is me posting my opinion. And I also think it would be nice, for added realism, to have a setting to choose from were you could switch between the way it is now or pilot-only.

So that is my opinion on this matter! But that is still not me trolling! It's just me having a diffrent opinion on this matter than you. Not all of us enjoys "multitasking" when it comes to the multicrew aircraft just because you do. Many of us just enjoy to (only) fly them and like having the AI taking care of the rest. I'm sorry if you can't handle that, mate!
