I've got to say,I always fly with the icons off,I totally believe these are 'immersion' killers.

For navigation just check your map,where the enemy is,use your eyes,those red and blue arrows IMO suck all the atmosphere away.

Try it,use your eyes to look for that target,at the very least take off the aircraft icons,this IMO is much better,whilst in a dogfight you really have to check you're opponent to make sure your not shooting at friendly's,so get in close,check your enemy and nail him.

Yup them arrows are horrible, i set it this way so i can see who im winging, ive set the icons that short that by the time the friendly comes into icon range i already know if its friend or foe, maybe when i get a 32inch monitor i will turn them off

Anything on screen is immersion killer, the game is so much better with out all the clutter

I was just being cheeky about the wings of prey comment guys. I consider icons to be an arcade feature, which is why I suggest you go play an arcade game. As doc said anything on screen is an immersion killer.
