Currently the server is still in it's test phase and here it's vital for admins to be able to see what's going on.
Map icons, plane icons and external views are a must in this case. The open cockpit is rather a setting for fun at the moment...
If you wish we can start to entertain a discussion about future settings.
Let me start telling you why I don't like full real settings on servers like these:
We have maps here where you're flying 20 minutes just to reach the front line. With full real settings (read: You have no indicators where anyone else is, you have to look around and rely on team intelligence) these missions 99% of times will pass without seeing any combat action at all since you just don't find any foe nor targets.
Full real settings make it hard for admins to keep an eye on unwanted behaviour on the server since even admins in that case can't watch suspicious players (despite trying to find and follow them with their own aircraft, which is practically impossible).
Full real settings might be nice if you host a "private" game for a squad with fixed events, but not for public servers. There are servers available on Hyperlobby with full real settings, but even those which run really nice maps and are operated actively 24/7 are emtpy most of the time, they only fill when a squad rushes in for an hour or two.
Best regards - Mike
