And those who have a 2nd display with the instruments have an advantage over those who don't have one -- just as a shortsighted person with his glasses on has an advantage over shortsighted persons without glasses. It's a fact, not a charge against anyone. The question is how we handicapped could get some similar aid.  |
Old story, those with better PC's, bigger monitors or better controls also have an advantage.
You can run IL2 in a window and put a bank of virtual instruments run through devicelink below, above or to the sides of the IL2 window. They don't have to be physical gauges.
I believe that Maddox Games did the best job they could given hardware, time and money. I keep seeing people who know little of making such games work pulling "it needs" critiques out of their imaginations. Sure, it needs to be real planes for all the good that will do!
