Future of simulations 2010 discussion

S!

I rather buy my game as a hardcopy so I can have it on the shelf. Just in case. HAve used RoF plane store without a glitch and Steam too. But still..the game in the shelf is better

Regarding the realism. People want realism that suits their needs and expectations. On the other hand combat sim fans scream and strive accuracy yet they do not want to have even a partial workload the real pilot had. To keep the "fun factor" so to say. Since when was war and dying fun or entertaining? Those vets did not complain about it and flew on, current pilots work under the ever increasing flood of information and advancing technologies in their planes..

Maybe I am one of those fanatics or minority that would not mind having to use the plane's systems as did the real pilots ages ago. To learn it, to see how demanding it really was to be a pilot. The full experience. For me it would be the immersion maker. Not every Joe Average or Fritz Kügelschreiber became a pilot or an ace

Without a certain amount of perfectionism we wouldn't even be on this forum, because there wouldn't have been a sim

Huh, another CTD? Ahw, that's too bad. Hey, anyone want some борщ?

Sutts, you yourself mentioned options.
eg another sim series by DCS has a"simulation" setting for simmers and a "arcade" option for those who choose that. So there seems to be the best of, at least, two worlds there out in the open, with both having variable settings. Don't get me wrong, but I ain't going to get into a "full switch is or isn't the only way to go" argument with you.


Azimech (with respect) read the post again, you may have missed the "taken to extremes" part.

IL-2 has difficulty settings to choose from. I think SoW is no different. If a new sim pilot turns on full realism then he should not whine if failing terribly. There are options to smoothen your learning curve, step by step increase the realism settings until you feel comfortable with full real switch. Simple ain't it? Has nothing to do with masochism or egoism..Build your experience on a solid base, then go higher.

So..the more realistic procedures and such we can get the happier I will be. Be sure!
