Hip is a joy to fly, easy and stable. The only thing you have to learn is how not to get into VRS.
Being very precise in a Huey is way more difficult than in a Mi-8, sling load operations are a breeze in Mi.
But - it usually is a very individual thing what one finds easy and another doesn't.
It's still a game, so.... no, it shouldn't be removed. If someone wishes to use these tutorials, it's their choice.
Movable vents in Hornet also bring nothing to gameplay, but are a nice touch, so...realism doesn't always have to be useful.
I have seen the Phoenix on the radar yesterday (from the back seat), but haven't checked if it affects TWS-A priorities - that wouldn't be ideal if it does.
it is probably something obvious I am missing....but how can I make my F-14B profle work with the A version?
I have another lua file for it, how should it be named so I can use it with cloned F-14B controls folder in SD?
EDIT - got it, lua file must be called 'F-14A-135-GR.lua' and I can use the same set of commands, no need to clone
For me, ED can do whatever they want, but they shouldn't at the same time keep saying 'we strive for 100% realism' which they do in almost every interview.
