OK I can see why they did it - without the map you'd be flying about trying to find a needle in a haystack, but in a strange way it makes Sim more unrealistic than Realistic! I seem to spend half the game looking at the damn map trying to see who's friend or foe instead of looking through the cockpit glass.
Seem to have trouble seeing the coloured bands on the wings at certain positions to the sun too.
By the way, it was a immense pleasure being on Chankychank's team last night. The man dominated. I thought I'd just go off and land and have a cup of tea at one point! But I soldiered on and finished with a score of err... I'd rather not publish that.
