Dear Luthier and talented developers at Maddox Studios,
I bought your game. I think it is an unpolished huge diamond. Something very special. One reason is your incredible attention to detail in bringing these old machines to life again. I had misconceptions. Expectations that were wrong. Your simulator teaches me things I would never have learned from reading books or watching videos. It corrects my misconceptions. When I learn about these changes; actual efforts; to move away from that to meet some people's ignorant expectations, I become saddened and feel as if this precious simulator is being desecrated and corrupted.
As a paying customer I ask that you carefully consider the following request:
- Revert these changes to what closest represents reality.
- Adopt a policy of changing people's expectations through education. For example, a FAQ in the game's readme, and in forums. This takes less effort, development time and is simpler. The laser-tracer issue you defended and altered people's expectations, and we have our straight realistic tracers.
- If there is a hardcore market requirement for dumbed down gauges and engine behavior, include it as option in the game settings. A unique option for gauges would be ideal. If pressed for time, it can also logically be part of 'complex engine management'.
Thank you for considering my request.
