Yes, with Blenheim too. It isn't so bad when you get used to it.

To do any different is inconceivable for me.

I use it exclusively. Engine management is a big part of what CoD is about for me.

Well I owe you a big thanks for fighting for it! I love CEM and can't play old IL2 1946 any more because it is too easy and simplistic.

I was watching a clip on you tube of Mark Hannah flying a spit mk9 and when he landed he was talking to some old fly boys who used to fly them in the war. They were talking about engine management and i could understand and relate to their conversation. If I had been playing il2 1946 I would have been left out of the conversation.

3) Magnetos.

4) Lorenz for sure!

5) Secondary lights for instruments and external taxi lights as well.


Add these final details to the Ju88 and the CEM would be a masterpiece!

In short complex engine management is a must for a serious combat sim like CoD and it helps differentiate our sim from the rest.

As far as the animorphic goes its also a must have for all that just dont have the buttons to spare on there joysticks etc.
Your 5 points are all possible but may take a third party to implement someday...or, if we pressure 1c for them, sometime down the road.

Thanks, but I was just one of many vocal supporters of cem. We were all very happy when Oleg announced his decision.

Same here.

And it ain't that complex in CoD.

S!

CEM in CoD is child's play. Blenheim seems to be the only "harder" one or is it just bugged? What makes CEM easy is that there are bugs and missing features in it. It is not much "harder" than IL-2 was.

I'm a little surprised, and not unhappily so, to see so many players flying full switch only. I hope the devs will put more emphasis on FULLY clickable cockpits as a result.

Exclusively, and mostly in a Blenheim!

In fact, I seem to recall that originally the fuel mixture control actually worked in the Blenheim (currently it doesn't), and magnetos had to be manually switched. I'd like to see a return to this set up for all a/c.
