So they broke the propellers so bad that it may NEVER be fixed! This is a "PROP" sim. Without good propellers, it will be doomed. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Originally posted by PF_Coastie:

A: Rotating propellers were causing the game to fail epilepsy tests, and so drastic changes were made to the propellers in addition to the Anti-Epilepsy filter. If we can be perfectly frank, there is a chance that this will never change back.

These two points killed for some time my interest in this game.Originally posted by JG52Uther:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>A: Rotating propellers were causing the game to fail epilepsy tests, and so drastic changes were made to the propellers in addition to the Anti-Epilepsy filter. If we can be perfectly frank, there is a chance that this will never change back.[/list]
12. Q: I am an old-time fan of the series and I can no longer manually edit my conf.ini.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>A: By default, your config is now stored in the steam cloud. This allows you to log into steam on a new machine, and carry over your entire config including keyboard layout etc.
This also means that manual edits to the config files are automatically overwritten by the server when the game is launched.
NOTE: editing conf.ini is an UNSUPPORTED FEATURE for advanced users only. ALWAYS back up last working version of the conf.ini.
To disable cloud config storage, go through these simple steps:
* Right-click the game in the game list in your steam Library.
* Go to the Updates tab of the Properties window.
* Uncheck "Enable steam cloud..."
* Press Close
* You can now manually edit your config file!
NOTE: (once again) some of the settings in the conf.ini are legacy settings left over from when some features were not yet set in stone, so you WILL horribly break the game if you begin to randomly reset random settings to see what they do.[/list]
Edit note: edit to format for ease of reading
1) We have only propeller airplanes here. Propellers, and their visual dynamics when changing speed, are one of the key features in WWII airplane modelling. I did not buy this game to fly jets. An I do not care about all this epilepsy psychodrama. All what counts is the result for me who should buy. And the result is at the moment dramatic.
2) If I buy the game I want access. Again Steam and the cloud, no way. I pay, I want it on my machine with me in control and not Steam. I hate having stuff on other servers. You have a workaround but this should be standard.
Until you solve propellers, no buy. I waited 6 years, I can wait another one. Good luck.
