A number of people have been calling for the wear & tear elements to be enabled in Free Flight, not just Career, for this very reason. And some developers include failures, which turn the walkaround in a very meaningful exercise indeed.
I understand that the walkaround isn’t for everyone (and should be optional). At the moment it’s a pointless affair. But by the same token, making realistic flights in a simulator where the aircraft is 100% reliable and no surprises could ever occur (except perhaps a CTD
Having consequences for mistakes, for me, is a huge part of the value of the simulation. It’s a way to improve my skills. The walkaround can contribute to that - provided it’s not abstracted to simple green ticks and actually requires some effort on the player to check and make an actual judgement. Primarily talking GA here, just for reference.
Well spoken. I do too, like to have failures now and then just for a different experience. But then again other times I would like to skip all the faff just to get going and what I want to do.
Skipping walkaround would be a nice option indeed.
