Yah, while I like the slightly increased realism of sim and the fact you have to manually search and find your target, it is still just a matter of having your radar in an awkward place: your map. It feels really tacky and ruins the whole thrill of frantically searching for your target; just check your radar and you know which direction he is at. Really very little difference from realistic mode IMO. The only reason I REALLY like sim is the full zoom mapped to left trigger but thankfully this will not be an issue with the update anymore. If they make a clever way to be able to at least locate the general area of your enemy without making the map a functional radar I would see some point to playing sim. I also think that sim should be locked to cockpit view (not virtual cockpit). Obviously this would be a bit broken with the lack of cockpit art though.
I thought I had heard that you could have the option to lock the players views into cockpit as host, apparently I heard wrong.
