Online Sim mode

[Armchairpilot]

So is it near impossible to find a game online that's sim mode only? Hell, I'd even settle for realistic. But everytime I try to find a game it tells me that the IL-2 servers are not responding and to try again later. I knew that Sim mode wouldn't be nearly as popular as arcade, but I assumed that I'd at least find a few games by now.

I see that a lot of you are talking about playing online; are most of you playing in arcade mode (either by choice, or you're having the same problem I am)?
