I am back off to arcade mode. See you on the beach

The best way to solve the treetop dogfighting problem if you wish you head up to altitude is to host or convince the host to set poor/rain/storm weather. Visibility will be tragic at lower levels, so people should get the hint to head above the clouds if they are a sim regular.
Besides, nothing is better for me in a dogfight than shooting a wing off an opponent and watching them disappear into the bad weather (whether I get kill credit or not).
More weather/match variety and teamwork on sim matches is much needed, but to get there we have to have a good group of sim-willing pilots. Here's hoping that realistic is the new black, and that sim will be in season soon.
Cheers.
