Complex engine management

Please do not mis understand me. In flight complex proceedures are OK by me.

My post about the A2A models was simply to point out that I don't think they can make a model to Oleg's level of detail, and sell it at a price that most, and certainly myself, would pay. It's a long jump from a fancy cockpit and high poly count external model, to a fully realized model like CoD has, with poly counts that actually allow online play as well, someting the FSX folks have never had to worry about.

One of things that just doesn't seem to be modelled is the weight aspect of the amount of fuel onboard. Maybe it's just me, but the difference between 25 percent fuel and 100 percent should be fairly significant and it never really feels right to me. This is going to be fairly important in BOB as the Luftwaffe will be on fumes over England and should have a short lived advantage before they dodge back to France.

Not sure what you meant by a price you or most wouldn't pay, but ppl tend to pay 20-40$ for a high fidelity add-on for FSX. I'm not sure why they (and me) wouldn't pay the same for CoD add-on if you get all the bells and whistles that one gets with Accu-Sim packages for FSX. I would assume that it's possible to build a CoD capable HiFi plane for 30$ for example as the whole title doesn't cost much more than that.

Maybe the nutjobs paying such an amount only play FSX but I would assume they sometimes want to pull the trigger and shred something to pieces instead of just seeing a muzzle flash as they do in FSX. And that's where CoD would come in.

The A2A P40 was the only FSX aircraft that I purchased, and frankly it was not worth the money.

Hell, I don't think RoF's $7.62 single seaters are worth it either.

I don't think Oleg will change his business model of offering new aircraft in patches, for free, or in reasonably priced expansions that also include maps, ground objects, new missions, etc...
