it depends upon what you consider that it needs to be more realistic. Interestingly enough it seems that real pilots rarely complain but see PC games/sims for what they are which is pretty divorced from the real thing. Indeed it seems that those with real experience of the particular aircraft in the jet games (as there aren't too many people with real SE5/DVII/SPAD experience) often comment favourably on the overall feel of the FMs whereas many of the doubting Thomas' have never flown 1 in real life It's not too far off from my first (real life) flying lesson btw.. Just thought I'd mention it!

Dont know if you can do this, but am advertising my last post, as its a question I've had on my mind for a very long while now. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=18786 <----- post in here please, cheers! Crash Physics.... why we need them. Great job to the IL Sturmovik Crew, they hit this nail on the head. Any answers at all would be great, Thanks!

I've looked on a number of forums for FE (which I bought today) for anyone with the same concern as me when it comes to the crash physics- These planes are made from WOOD! And hitting the deck at 160mph would absolutely dessimate a light aircraft, especially ones made pre 1918! I'm flying with all game options on 'HARD', yet I can smash into the ground at speed only losing a wheel!?!? For example I would like to see the same crash physics as IL 2 Forgotten battles, where parts of the plane come off due to contact with trees, or airframe stress.. it makes for a much better experience overall, adding to the authenticity. I was really looking forward to playing this game (Thank GOD I found it for £10 when it's £30 in other shops!) Right moaning aside, is there anything I can do to make this game much more realistic? And are there any other patches apart from 'patch 2'? -ALSO - I find I can fly straight through buildings, trees, and other aircraft on the hardest difficulty. I know it's only a small studio that produced this game, but come on?!! Very much awaiting 'Knights of the Sky' by the producers of the IL series.... Till then, what can I do to improve my involvement with FE? As CFS3's OFF is only marginely better in my opinion. Thanks for your time, any help appreciated!!
