Flying "By the book"

[Romanator21]

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.

There's been an accurately done version of the Shoki available as a mod for a while now. I just hope that JapanCat and the other Japanese modders are working with DT to get it, and all the other new and reworked Japanese aircraft into the game.

Thank you very much for the manual, MrBaato! It is very useful!

Yes, JapanCat is working with us as 3rd party developer.

That's great news, it would be a wonderfull addition to the game !
