as most people realise, that when the hands have learned where to go, the hands can get there quite quickly... the hands can also adapt with one hand able to do two functions. ie hold the throttle and thumb the pitch with the other holding the stick on acm... so setting the AC to account for spikey controls may in reality be dumbing down the function

I agree in a way about removing it, they have probably used enough resources for these type of features, but the idea is good, it would be more to stop people making macros and scripts to do everything instantly, I imagine it would be easy to map key strokes to my G15 so that when I want cruise etc it is as simple as hitting a button and the rads open, prop pitch is set and so on, but I say if people want to do that let them, I like adjusting levers and switches it gives you something to do on the way to the target.

I think this program feature is magnificent (when it will be working properly), this is the difference between HOTAS (Hands On Throttle and Stick) of modern warplanes and the period before.

With the right joystic set (which probably most of us have) you can do wonders which in real life those days were not possible.

It adds a significant difficulty factor (which I do not miss because I already have enough) during a dogfight.


For all other things e.g.

when I want cruise etc it is as simple as hitting a button and the rads open, prop pitch is set and so on, but I say if people want to do that let them,

it causes no problem, it is sufficient to add some time delay betwen the commands and you will have no problems.
