~ Glad we agree, though a 1 ~ 10 rating on engine wear, will have some complaining things aren't real enough... back to square one

~ I understand what "procedure" is, some however, seem to think "procedure" should include the effect of a worn seal

iirc, il2 Sturmovik started out very much as study sim and the series has been expanded on and extended from that
