LOL yea that is what needs to get fixed ASAP! you can spot aircraft easier through clouds than you can in the blue sky.

I will say you guys are funny... and by funny I mean ridiculous with your quote on "realism." What did WWII pilots do? They did what helped them stay alive... So if hugging the terrain so that enemy couldn't spot you was more of a benefit than having a higher E factor, I am sure they would have done it... But as it happens they didn't fly with 1980x1050 resolution. What it boils down to is that this is a game, and until IL-(whatever) is released in the future with a gun that you can mount on top of your monitor that shoots you dead when you get shot up it is going to be a game...

It reminds me of my buddy; we are avid poker players, we watch all of the WSOP's, we play weekly games, we used to play online (when it was okay to gamble in the US) everyday of the week on 4 different poker sites... But we would do pickup games on the ship (when I was in the Navy) and we would get these guys who just wanted something to do, and had no real strategy... So in this one game my buddy makes a big raise before the flop with pocket Aces, most everyone folds except this one guy... Flop comes 2 2 6... My buddy seeing low cards goes all in with his pocket aces, figuring nobody hit that and he scared everyone off with his pre-flop raise... Well this other guy ends up calling, when he flipped his cards over he had 2, 6 off suit which gave him a full house. My buddy blew up started swearing got completely pissed off, "you don't know how to play, who calls a big raise before the flop with 2, 6???!!!!" And then stormed out of the room.

The point of the story is that, this is a game that is meant to appeal to a wide berth of people, not just the people who are calculating physics every time they pull back on the stick. With that you are going to have to adapt of overcome, it may not be 100% accurate to the emotions that a real WWII pilot would experience, but I am pretty sure that none of us would actually want to experience what they actually went through and the emotions that they actually had... So in the mean time you are going to have to deal with the occasional pilot who decides to call pre-flop with 2, 6 off suit...
