I dont see why so many people have a problem with arcade?

It's the public IL2 attracts. It's usually more sim-minded people. Arcade is good fun for some, but the skill requirement is a bit lower, and doesn't have that much of an impact. Also, the flying is obviously nothing like real planes, except maybe for some jets or something :P.

i agree entirely i just dont see why people give arcade players stick (not particularly on here) for choosing to play how they want.
On reading that back it sounds like a rant, it was never intended to be.

Not the worst rant on the forums, so don't worry :P. People shouldn't judge anyone for playing arcade. Unless they start talking about the flight model/characteristics of airplanes.. (no offense)

None taken:)
thats what i like about this forum and this game, everybodys so nice even when their shooting you down in flames.

I find arcade harder than realistic actually. As you have to turn up sensitivity to max to compete on level terms with anybody and that makes slightest movements amplified.

I find it harder because I don't know how the planes react.. it's in no way like real flying. Especially the speed range is confusing.

P.S. lol @ Philabong

Tell me about it. Foz and Pope and I have a very good, friendly rapport but they both love nothing more than to fill my rear end full of lead and leave me to gravity Gods.. :-P

Hey guys! I have a question about Realistic controls using a flightstick! Are you able to use the rudder properly with a stick as opposed to a gamepad? Cause I use the Gpad and on Realistic you can't even really touch the rudder for fear of stalling and slipping sideways.

Is this a sensitivity issue that the pads can't handle? Thoughts?
