I stumbled into one of those sim matches too (think I saw Seraphim in there?) My first go at sim mode, and flew around 3/4 of the match just trying to find the fight lol! Chased somebody else a bit only to find they were on my team, and only saw one enemy to get a shot at (and was shot down once). Did a few 1v1 and 1v2 matches (actually won one while outnumbered! ). That was a lot more fun then I thought sim would be. I do miss the 'lock head to target mode' as that is what you'd do in real life, but I don't mind the arrows not being there.

Only real problem is the planes are tiny, and the brightness of the sky (especially the hazey levels) "washes out" the airplanes so I can't see them at a distance. I drive by an airport daily, and can spot a Cessna well over a mile out on a clear day, but in the game you don't see them until you are right on top of them. Any way to adjust that? I'll tinker with the brightness a bit.

Ya sim mode is the sh!t some most time its just kinda hard to find people to play with every 1 seems scared of sim some times it takes me n hour to get a 2 on 2 going (i only play sim) so i just grab a beer n pack a bowl..... We need more sim players to play with and we also need more of the sim players so that we can get sum capture the airfield and strike.......i also like doing the axis vs allies with u guys easier to recognise the enemy......

Could be. One of my first sim games as well . What time are most people on? I mean GMT +/- what? I'm on GMT+1, and depending on my flight schedule I can be on anywhere between 1300z and 2400z.
