I may be silly, but in response to wreckingcrew, nothing ruins the immersion greater than having labels on, followed closely by f10 map depicting any enemy positions (actually any positins at all)
on the flipside, i don’t have anything against macros or speech activated software like voice attack. Though i personally have minimal mapped to my stick, and like flipping most of the switches with mouse.
I guess the want to flip switches with mouse stems from the way i like to learn an aircraft with touch flows to help remember switch orders.
