This is where you run into trouble.
Everything is finding a control on a keyboard! These planes are fly by wire. As catch 22 reminded me above, I remember the RB3D boards years ago where people would argue every little bit of realism and forget that you don't actually die if you are shot.
Looking back at Mk2 saying that no warp was killing him, I thought about that a bit. Looking at his avatar and the N28 as his sig, I deduced that he was probably doing a lot of flying for the Hat-In-The-Ring squadron. Just for kicks, I started a US career in the first pursuit group and did a couple of missions. Cycling through, I found the shortest mission I could get was 244 miles.
244 miles! That's over three hours of flying. If he could somehow fly 1 mission a day real time, non-warp and had to fly three missions a day in game time to progress the campaign and started in September 1918, it would take him about eight months of his real life just to finish one campaign. And who can devote 3 hours a day to playing video games?
I understand you want to create a standard, but don't forget people like Mk2, who is a valuable and helpful member of this forum, or people like Over50 who contribute thoughtful input on other viewpoints.
I guess what I'm saying is just be careful you don't go from

, you would defeat part of what you were trying to accomplish.
