I find that being confined to the cockpit isn't exactly realistic either... since you cannot move your head around like in real life. Also, having only the landscape (which isn't that pretty) to look at is very bland (yea, I know, but I like the mix of cinematic 3rd person action with realistic flight and damage models)

The only sim games that I can find are no more than 4 people, and there's always somebody in a La-7 whizzing around raping everybody in sight. Realistic may just be turn and burn, but simulation is turn and burn trying to find everybody, atleast in realistic you're turning and burning in order to shoot someone...
The bottom line is that I just don't enjoy it... yea, there are some things that I like, like the combat flaps and being able to hide, and how it's easier to damage your enemies. But in the end, it's usually a waste of time. Sorry guys, but simulations aren't always that fun..
I like how realistic mixes fun and realism, to where you ahve an accessible, historically close experience that you can jump right into.
Peace.

Can answer quite a few of these with 3 word

-
use a joystick
How is only being in cockpit view NOT realistic? its as close to real as alot of us will get, and with the joystick you use the HAT switch to freely look around, having to wonder if anyone can see you.
Each to their own though mate, if you like "realistic" mode then thats your porogotive i wont disagree with you. This is just my personnal opinion
