Realistic just "isnt"

I just recently switched from realistic to sim. Its so much better besides the fact that I can't look all the way around the cockpit with my joystick.

Why cant you look all the way around your cockpit?? just use the HAT switch and you can free look all round it that is if you use the saitek joystick...anything else then ive no idea, sorry.

Well tonight i jumped in a game with pope and see on realistic, it was a dogfight.

After the game finished i have to say -

i hate realistic mode with a passion. I can no longer enjoy the game and be proud with myself for geting a kill because my target is lit up for me like a christmas tree, all i have to do is follow the great big red arrow.

Though i only play sim mode anyway, i will not be going onto realistic anymore, its just crap lol.


Anyone else got an opinion on the game mode? or anythnig to share about a certain difficulty? Any gripes? post away

lol thats the reason i play realistic because you can track the target because my left hand controling the plane has a habit of doing the same as my right hand on the camera and i get killed alot

If anyone is trying to dogfight in simulation mode with a controller, I highly recommend switching to the aviator control scheme (press square on the options page to go to controller set up, then go right one from the default).

This set up is way better because you don't need to hold R3 to look around, and you can control throttle while looking.

The downsides are that you lose analog control of rudders, and trying to land or use a bomber gun turret are nigh on impossible.

Give it a try...

ok time to add my 2 cents worth

sim mode is they way to go

if you want to feel like you actually hunted down a target moved in for the kill and then shot them down using only your own skill then sim mode is for you the best games ived played on bop online have been sim mode battles

my only gripe with sim mode is that it is hard to spot the enermy as it is hopfully when the patch come that will change

im playing on full hd and still find it hard to spot them when they are close by but i think that is down to my own eyesite after a couple of games i have to stop and take a break becuse it makes my eyes sore so i usally go for a ciggie and a cup of coffee then start again
