Nearmiss,
You've got me confused. You seem to be telling me to clear off and play F4 because I enjoy learning the ins and outs of a particular aircraft and its systems and yet from your recent post from AAA (quoted below) you like just the same thing.
"So, yeah you might call me an enthusiat with a different approach to the IL2. I enjoy flying the aircraft, but unlike many others I fly one aircraft for months and study all the manuals,etc. Yes, it matters to me to get the most out of an aircraft and better still improve performance where it all makes sense. I mean if you fly the P51D in the HUD, you never learn anything about the aircraft and really all you do is take a virtual aircraft device and shoot at something. IMO, flying the HUD, the little bit learned is missing the whole point of a great air combat simulator like IL2. "
I don't want to start a slagging match here, I just want folk to realise that there are several types of simmers out there - those that want just air action, those that want to feel immersed in a machine of the time with all the problems it posed for the pilot, and those that want a bit of both.
Can't we just accept that and provide options so that everyone is happy?
