Stick shakers and butt kickers.


Recommended Posts

Please have support for stick shakers and the like (seats and throttles). I upgraded to Winwing's HOTAS stick and throttle in major part to get the vibrating indicator when flying at the edge of stalling angle of attack. The military taught me to go right to the edge of the envelope, "flying on the tickle" and sadly, IL2 doesn't have this (I'm told DSC does, and I don't know about Falcon BMS). I want to fly with my eyes out of the cockpit, and have a feel for my AoA. 

Real Wildcat pilots had the 'tickle' as the wing root stalled prior to the outer section (with the ailerons, to maintain controllability well into the stall) and the disturbed airflow from the wing root washed over the elevators, communicating that vibration to the pilot through cables (or rods) connected to the control stick.
