Anton now that you released the video showing off the arcade mode

I'll just add that anybody who thinks Birds of Prey will be anything like Blazing Angels is just, plain, dumb. Or, does not know about the IL-2 series. Both Blazing Angels are garbage.

BoP will be in a league all it's own. That is, untill the sequel.

Hopefully you won't have to "unlock" SIM mode by finishing the game in arcade or realistic mode. I'm hoping that it will be available in the game straight away from the beginning...

You have to unlock Arcarde/Realistic/Sim mode by finishing special tutorial missions (rather short). Arcade tutorial is required, others are optional.
That is done, to prevent casual player from unintendently selecting of realistic/simulation mode.

After that, you will be able to play Campaign in mode of your choise.

No, not in details.
MP info is planned to be an update in two weeks or so - PR schedule, that sort of things.
But it will be up to 16 players.

That's quick question, but long answer
The information will be rather soon as a community update.
As a most visually noticable difference - in Simulation there is only cockpit/virtual cockpit view (no 3rd person view) and no any HUDs.

But, of course, there are more of them.
