Oil Check on walkaround
-
I'm sure it's more or less on list somewhere, but I'll suggest it anyway. A good middle ground could be just a visual check of the dipstick. The amount of oil could always be the same, as you don't obviously have such a tremendously deep engine wear modeling as A2A.
But in the current SWS Kodiak for example, you can open the cowling and check the oil- which will always display the same amount - but it adds immersion of checking and verifying. -
I just can't understand why put some much effort to model the piston engine quirks and then just pretend that engine oil is something that you just ignore.

visual only checks that have no meaning annoy me.

removing chocks and covers is not purely visual, but at least A2A gives you additional things to do that actually matter like working oil level/quality checks, fuel drains that actually will show contamination, and I am not sure about primary control surfaces but it will give you indication of damaged flaps when you jiggle them.
