I completely agree with your assessment. And it doesn’t surprise me that aerial firefighting is also missing a lot.
I do understand that this is a game. And as professionals we’re going to notice things that 99.9% of other players won’t. But the Air Tractor 802 doesn’t even have nozzles on the spray system. And not having a light bar is ridiculous. Might as well make me fly an ILS by just looking at my moving map and eye balling my altitude. Who needs a localizer or glideslope. Leaving a light bar off a modern ag airplane is just as ridiculous. The game is missing such key components of the job that I can’t help but criticize it. If they spent one day at an agricultural aviation operation they’d realize how much they missed the mark. The positive side though is that all my ag pilot buddies had a good laugh about spraying a field in an AT802 with no flow control or light bar while getting yelled at by an AI voice saying we’re doing it all wrong because we’re faster than 120 knots.
