I voted "full realism and systems", but I admit to flying the simpler a/c. My favorite is the A2A Cub, the A2A P-47 is a handful for me. (Although I will master it, so I can go on to the B-17. :icon_lol: )

Bottom line is I want to be persuaded that I am flying a real simulation, but I do realize that I can, probably, be easily persuaded.
 
For me I want the full systems available, BUT with the option to jump in and go with little fuss and muss. Using full systems with me depends on the plane.

When I fly the IRIS Tomcat, I want the full package up and running because the Big Cat is my favorite a/c and I want as close to real with it as I can get. With the Aerosoft Falcon, I want just to hop-in with as little fuss and muss as possible. Depends on the plane and the package. I was glad when the CH FW-190 came out with a "simple" mode because it gave me options and saved many, many, virtual engines!!! It got to where I knew more about fueling the a/c than flying it because that's all my commander would let me do....:icon_lol:

Now, a question for the developers among us might be, is this a hard thing to do; having a simple mode and a full systems mode where you can toggle between them?


I guess you could say I'm an in-betweener when possible! :icon_lol:
