I seem to remember a post (can't find it now) where someone posted the number of propeller rotations and translated that into speed?
I like as close as 100% realism--except I like the external view for the visual graphics duirng the game but I don't use if during combat.
The problem I have with the map view is it simply give me too much information about the enemy. IT takes a lot of the mystery out of the game, at least for me.
Thanks again for the input
I might add that my main complant about this game and the great mods such as GWX is it is too darn addictive. I am at home trying to get some writing done and keep getting distracted!!
