"engine damage and "flameout" taken out of the equation"
Sorry to hear that! I for one would like to have a way to put it back in. A software switch or something. Is it possible without you doing another patch? If not thats fine too.

I for one would agree with some sort of switch. I didn't dig the flameouts but only because I couldn't get the engines to restart. However, since a manual is forthcoming, I am certain that could be addressed in the manual. I truly liked the authenticity, as I have a habit of zooming at max throttle, without restrictions, the flameout potential has the ability to force me to be more of a thinking pilot versus a dumbed down grunt. I vote to keep it in.

Keep the flame out effects, or make it toggle-able. I love it.

Also, is there any chance of parts_01, and droptanks_t being included in the paintkit? Pretty please? ;)
 
Real deal experience for me too...after all IT IS a simulation. ;)
I've only had one flamout thus far..but made a beautifully executed dead stick landing afterwards! :d
 
First flight, launch to touchdown, no problems. My son flew her with no problem and he didn't know the engine would quit. Don't dumb down the A7 let's smart up the pilots. All of us are more than smart enough. Now if I could only hit the carrier!!!

As for the rest, make a dumb down patch for them.

A bit of trivia,in option 2 that´s the exact phrase a customer used when addressing the "hard to fly" issue..

I will vote on your forum as soon as OldCrow47 gets registered. Thank you Ron!

How many jets in FS will flameout when we abuse them? Your A7 is unique I believe.

There is at least one more: The Cloud9 FIAT G91 Light Tactical Fighter (came out in 2004). During the take off run, the throttle must be advanced slowly and you must stay below 100% N1. When you move the throttle full forward that will cause an engine compressor stall with total engine loss. During flight, keeping N1 above 100% will also cause an engine failure. Only 5 minutes up to 105% N1 is allowed for emergency.

Dumb Down?

Well, it´s up to you,many are complaining about this, we know is the right thing, that´s what happens, but when people start complaining how they are NOT enjoying their purchase, it makes you wonder what´s really going on..

If i see enough people in favor of sticking with it, we´ll stick with it, if not, we´ll dumb down the aircraft.
there is no way to implement a switch in the plane, sorry for that.

Best regards

Why cant both Options Be made Available?
As far as having to "Dumb Down" the Aircraft, I`m not sure how to respond to that, So Because Someone experiences engine Failures that somehow We are too Dumb to Fly the Plane? Poor Choice of words there:salute: IMO, I am for Both Options, For those of us "Dumb it down" types

Don´t take it like that, i´m not referring to customers as dumb, i´m referring as such to the aircraft, maybe you´re right, poor choice of words, and for that i apologize. It´s not possible to release 2 different models, no way, no can do, it´s a 3d gauge that controls it all, it´s either easy or realistic, it´s a hell of a code to convert, and it´s part of an integer system connected all over the aircraft from normal gauges, to weapons release code.

Best regards

Well I was hoping to be able to fly this jet alot more than I will be. I've also decied to hold off on any paints.

Its too bad that such a nice aircraft, even with some on the ramp issues, has been made so complicated.

Back into my Pitts......
 
I'm for the realistic mode and will do paints no matter the decision. I was on the Gina and 104 back in the days of Cloud9 and I loved both. This A-7 brought back some of the memories :) Off to vote!

Keep it realistic! Love it that way. Pam did a great job.

Love the complement, but i didnt do the effect.. I just set the engine up correctly which made it possible for the effect to work right.. i honestly didnt even know the effect was there.. i must admit, it caught me off guard as well when i did my calvin and hobbes great samurai dive on Cam Ranh Bay and went down big time. I'll know better next time..

gentlemen and ladies, i dont mean anything negative in any way towards anyone, and i think most of you know that about me, but just in regards to my flight model on this plane, before it was released, I did state that it was not a plane for beginners or very casual fliers, and the flameout effect simply adds to that. You need to throttle back to 94% or the turbines will overheat and die.. I personally dont think thats a lot of work, and its realistic.. I'm certainly not going to let it dampen my opinion of this plane nor am i going to let it stop me from flying it in the future.. I hope none of the rest of you do either, because irregardless of the realities, its a great plane to fly.
