Real pilots are providing input. in this case the input comes from a current Spitfire MKVII and MKXVI pilot.
The alteration of the G cut out comes from multiple pilots, a Merlin and DB601/605 engine restorer, a current Hurricane II, Spitfire II pilot and a Hurricane I pilot. So before you start making sweeping statements like the devs are responding to 'the few' whinners then check your facts.
The devs have direct access to a number of current warbird pilots. One for instance is current on the following types:
Winjeel,Wirraway,Spitfire MKVII and MKXVI, P51D,P40E,P40F,Hudson,Harvard, and Vampire.

Ivan, I don't think anyone has said that they want the bouncy needles back
because they're more realistic, They are saying to bring them back
if they're more realistic. Same with the engine cutout/smoke.
I should think that you would be the first to agree that all of the planes in your final list are completely irrelevant to this sim. The Hurri I & II, and the Spit II pilot's input would be completely valid though, while not necessarily correct. If these planes have been updated over the last 60 years, the particular issues are some of the most likely ones to be addressed. I only say this to urge caution in assessing the work that Maddox games have done. I should think that they based their original simulations of the gauges and engine characteristics on something other than guesses.
