Hello!
I just wrote a sloppy reply because I thought this discussion is really senseless anyway; I still believe it is, except that it may serve to clarify one important point, which Thorsten already wrote about:
FG IS a simulator and is MEANT TO BE!
And a rose is a rose is a rose... We do not feel the need to ask "Why doesn't it taste salty?" or "Why doesn't it make grungy noises?".
wkitty pointed out that the extent of the effect may be cross checked with real life experience to serve realism, not to make it less annoying - actually, these "annoyances" are called "challenges" in a flight SIMULATOR, and they make my heart beat harder whenever I see them, and even harder when I meet them and make me try again when I don't.
Ciao,
Adrian
P.S.: If you wonder, I just had some spicy chinese food and listening to some Soungarden classics...
