This !! :

I love the mechanic needle of that video, I want that back soo badly !! :(

We loses some things with the "fans" complains and others things in the optimization try in the old graphics engine, like the exhaust muzzles in others planes (there exhaust muzzles in the player air plane only)

I hope you guys are taking notes for a strike back ;)


About the binaural sound ...

Im not sure but I think that there a problem of compatibility with the extended surround systems, it only work on stereo settings, maybe is that why it gets dropped.

I rather the mechanical tachometer back than binaural sounds

me too!

regardign the mechanical tachometer. i havent flown much, but the mechancial tachometer didnt move half of waht that one moves. maybe a 50 rpm moving tops.

I want binaural sound :mad:

But I like Crab !!!

Cheers,

T_T.

+1 here, sound radar is hardly acceptable when other areas of this sim are so historically, performance wise and morphologically (plane design and DM wise) accurate. As Absolute points out, IMHO it doesn't stand the weakest analysis if you have ever been in a single engined plane cockpit in flight: no way to hear anything but your thoughts with the helmet on.

My two cents.

The worst thing to get cut from the game are the amazing fresnel reflections. They were incredible and added SO MUCH to the game. Why couldn't they have become optional rather than being completely taken away?

BS ! A lot of research was done to eradicate the unrealistic BS bouncing tacho. Research included talking to current spitfire pilots using RR Merlins (Mechanical Direct drive tachos) and Packard Merlins with Electrical drive tachos. In addition the relevant Maintenance engineers were talked to. In all cases both the pilots and the engineers stated unequivocally that little or no Bounce occurred in either of the systems..... This was the reason it was removed.

What you have done is taken the mechanical tachometer and replaced it with an electric tachometer of todays world. Needle bounce and squeaking noises, not to mention their inherent inaccuracy were the technology of that time and era.:)...that's why they were in the game in the first place, change your opinion and get it back ASAP.
