Make engines feel more alive, Vibrations, shaking, Instruments

Its a bit of a luxury wish, regarding the recent discussions about bugs and so on…but is there any way to make the plane engines like big radials or small boxers more alive, more “palpable”?

There are good examples in the sim like the Ford 4-AT or the Beaver which depict shaking and vibrations from the radials, but some planes just fly “static”, like fittet with an inline 8 cylinder engine.

I love the shaking needles on the Ford Instruments, from my point of view, it adds greatly to immersion…I know that there are mods which deliver something like that, but isn´t there any way to get this done natively, to all aircraft/instruments? Perhaps with an option to turn it off for those who are annoyed of it?

I like the DC3 Model, but it feels “dead” when the engines are working, just a little wobble from the compass.

Nice greetings from germany!

A2A Comanche does it too

Yes, of course…and I loved their various planes in FSX (skipped 2020)…
I havent bought the Comanche for 2024 yet…but yes, the A2A Accu-Feel is the nonplusultra of the things i mentioned…with the engine damage model, state saving, wear an tear…one can dream :slight_smile:

But…My point is not the complexity of a whole engine simulation like A2A (although, a correlation between oil pressure and oil temperature would be much appreciated in any plane)…but a little more the feeling of flying a plane with a piston engine, not an electric motor.

And some planes have it, so it should be possible (in my very amateurish opinion).

The CAS Cub also is a great example of a plane that feels like a “real” plane, even with those effects controllable via tablet.

C´mon guys…some votes here? :crazy_face:
