Is there a way to go into config and get the flames without fussing with CEM???

Yes I'd be very interested if there is...I like CEM but it is very cumbersome in flight at times...

Well no need to be elitist.I only fly with CEM, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to.

CEM truly isn't that hard to manage, at least on fighters. I hear the Blenheim is pretty demanding.

Is there a "Dummies" way to do this on the fighters? When I've dabbled I get no power, engine problems, etc.

I wouldn't call myself an elitist I actually suck at this sim I can hardly hit anything I'm aiming at, but I have to say I blow my engines up a lot less now. I mean the whole point of my enjoyment with this sim is all the things I have to pay attention to just to keep her in the air or at least that is what I enjoy about this sim. No insult intended just found it funny

I agree with that and had a bit of a chuckle when I first read it. The CEM (for me) is what sets this sim apart from what came before. It was a pain in the rear at first because I hate reading manuals. Sort of fun to figure it out as I go along. Took me a while to figure out the prop mechanism on the early 109's and kept under and over revving. Yesterday I found out there's a fuel quantity selector knob in the Hurricane so you can see how much fuel is left in each tank. Also never realized Hurricanes have a takeoff flap setting.

What also did not help was that I thought that a lot of the CEM was porked or not implemented. The deeper I get into this sim the more respect I have for the guys that went out in these crates and put their lives on the line every time they went up.

There are still a bunch of knobs and levers and switches that are not clickable yet. Hope everything gets implemented at some point. I also hope they come up with an option for starting with a prewarmed engine. Bit of a bore sitting at the airfield getting straffed and not being able to defend yourself. Left early with a cold engine a couple of times. Something in the engine or prop goes pop fizzle and the windshield get's oily and next thing you know you're a glider.
