Today, we've got simulations that bypass almost every aspect that the FSX/P3D platform limits, including the Sticky Ground that some developers get around by unrealistically tweaking the thrust values. If doing it the hard way is necessary for acceptable solution, then I've come to expect it nowadays. Did they model the steering tiller, btw?

Definitely. I was bringing up the Twotter as an example in the PMDG forum on another topic complaining about the ground handling when the not so amused developer of the airplane jumped in. He explained to me that the reason was more or less the aimed prizing and that for that money we got a lot of aircraft. I somehow agree to that, but in my opinion quality needs to come before quantity.. One model properly made could be sold for the same money. The Twotter's avionics aren't that complex that we would end up at 80$ like the Q400. 30 or 40$ could easily cover the development of a proper engine AND ground model. But... that's aerosoft.. I'm done with them for other reasons anyway.

Not sure anymore. I know that the tiller moves, but I can't recall if you could assign it to a seperate axis.
Regarding the pressurization:
I would really love to see A2A to turn the hypoxia off for the GA fleet. I know that this is a realism factor with Accusim but as long as there is no oxygen system available they could assume that we just have one on board. A friend of mine sometimes has the opportunity to fly a Mooney M20 and he always has one with him. He did a flight across the Alps and over 10000 you're required to use it anyway. There's not much to know about. Use it, don't use it. Those handheld systems are pretty straight forward today. But I really don't understand why A2A gives those planes to us being able to climb to 18000 but don't include some oxygen. I would love to cross the Andes or the Rockies with the Bo. Or the 182... The P51, Spit and so on do have Oxygen on board. And with a twin prop those altitudes become even more realistic.
