+1 for Realism.

Reading the patch notes I was happy to see improvements in the performance of the game, but sad to see adjustments to realism because some people 'don't like how it looks'.

If a Spitfire cuts out at .25G in real life, then it should cut out at .25G in this sim.

End of.

Please don't lower the realism in game, at the very least make it switchable in case it really has to be added for those who are "confused"

I think before any changes are made to the realisim of the sim..it should only be backed by techical evidence, not what players feel is right. If they tone down any of the game settings then this should be a clickable option. Pilot notes are not accurate as they can vary from person to person and are open to misinturpuration, and someone trying to remember what described what it was like 40/50 years ago is not accurate neither. Aces High 2 is very good at this, and will make changes to the FM when someone provides hard evidence.

I have never come accross this about the gauges, and would be intersted to read some information on it. I have driven a 432 and scimitar tank and from what I remember the gauges did not bounce around and they were mechanical gauges for the RPM.

CoD is shaping up to be the best WW2 flight sim ever,and it would be a real shame to introduce unrealistic elements into the game just because some people are confused.

Agree with the realism stuff. Add a "Historical Crappy instruments" or "Super duper perfect all weather instruments" in the realism settings for the needles jumping and compass manual adjustment. We can discuss later how much the needle should jump and if is not better having the compass on the ground on the correct position (lets say adjusted by your ground crew) with manual adjustment later when flying as needed.

About the Negative cutout, get more real data and feedback from the players, it seems even when flying perfectly level there where issues, maybe some CEM bug.

Waiting for my STEAM copy on the USA release date (same for SouthAmerica)
