I will start by saying I do not claim to be a great pilot though with 30 years of sim time you would think I would be!
I am also fully aware of the limitations of the computer enviorment when it comes to a lot of things vs "real life" in things like sighting distances, having to use a joystick, no rudder pedals, situational awareness, feel of the plane in flight, etc.

Not being afraid to be called a sissy I am looking to experiment with trying the three different flight models.

What EXACTLY is the difference between. "Easy", the medium setting, and "Realistic " if anyone besides OBD knows?
Thanks.

EDIT: Or if one of the Dev's wants to chime in that would be fine too!

Think having to use a joystick is not really a limitation unless you combine it with no rudder pedals or no throttle quadrant. I would not say situational awareness was a issue with TrackIR think other option was called FaceTrackIR?? Feel of the plane/environment gravity I will say this was the biggest issue out the one you mentioned. I do not see big hydrolytic simpit complete with fans and sprinkler systems to mimic weather and movement in my near future but I would surely post pictures if I acquire one thumbsup

You must get rudder pedals its a whole different game!

Anyway I only ever fly on Realistic, Combat Flight Sim 1 100% till today. I would not worry about the other settings but ArisFuser really did sum them up.


Excuse my grammar please. I struggle writing English

Patience is not a virtue, Its a waste of time.

I bet there aren't any or the Game crashes, if you select "Easy" or "Medium", 'cause the Devs knew from the Beginning, that no one will ever choose anything else than "Realistic" LOL

I think, we should best try the differences between the settings with something, that easily stalls, breaks up real fast and doesn't behave well, like the Fokker E1-3.
This Way, I think, the Differences should be most obvious.
