Hey IFly,
Thanks for the question. Right now we are training up some of our greener pilots. Once we start our Historical Co-Op Campaign Missions we will be flying on full realism with these exceptions:Speed Bar Option will be enabled, Minimap Path will be visible on the map (no icons however), external views will be allowed, and padlocking will be allowed for those that dont have Track IR and wish to use it against the AI. We may eventually decide to deactivate the minimap path and external views during the campaign later on. Seeing as how these missions will be flown against the PC AI there is no real disadvantage. Our Intra squad events will more than likely be FULL realism like some of the more popular Hyper Lobby servers are.
