Flare gun operation! Does Anthropomorphic control exist?

[Haza]

Ladies/Gents,

 

For me, one of my biggest disappointments is the lack of anthropomorphic controls within the game.  This is the ability to limit the number of controls and switches that can be moved simultaneously.  For example, in the i-16 a player is able to lower flaps, lower the undercarriage, whilst moving the throttle and operating the cooling system, something that perhaps IRL is just not physically possible.  

 

Now the developers have gone to great lengths to model each aircraft as historically possible, however, not having the anthropomorphic controls for me kind of removes the beauty of the automated systems that the Luftwaffe had to reduce pilot workload.  Currently in this game the advantages that the Luftwaffe aircraft perhaps had over their VVS counterparts, are lost in this game as although I have read that on some VVS aircraft to even increase speed a number of controls had to be moved in a certain order to achieve the desired outcome, currently a player does not have to worry about this.  

 

Although I realise that in an ideal world the developers could change this (of course with more time and money), this is not what my post is about, as I'm sure one day this will happen.  However, I have noticed that you can't operate the flare gun and operate the aircraft weapons on a number of aircraft  (La5, 109, 110, FW190).  Therefore, whether this is intentional or not, it would appear that there is an ability to employ some form of anthropomorphic control.  

 

Therefore, is there a reason why you shouldn't be able to operate the aircraft weapons system and the flare gun?
