There is no comparison between using a map and using a HUD. Everyone knows that the map only gives a very approximate 2D location and little else so your comments regarding SIM players and whats in their heads Deascendant are not really justified. For me, sim presents more challenges and attempts to relate many of these to piloting skills rather than just gaming skills. (BTW, cheap Joystick - 15in LCD SD monitor and no patch but who cares........still damned good as is, why wait for the patch?)

Lol, I know whats in their heads because I've played with them, read this forum, and had discussions on this forum on why realistic mode is my favorite, I even tried to persuade them to change but they didn't like the lock on feature (go look up old posts from more than a month ago. Saying that I don't know what most players think about the lock on feature is ludicrous.

Pope, I may be a troll sometimes, but you are a flamer, every time I post something and put forward my opinoin, you and other anti-Americanists pick it apart.

Sorry I had to close this thread but if people can't quit insulting one another by calling them names this is the only option.
