Arcade, Realistic, Sim

[Antinko1]

As an avid player of IL-2 Forgotten Battles 'full realism' historic server matches, I thought that I'd love sim mode in this new game; however, I can't stand it.

Don't get me wrong: I love the graphics and the missions but I just find that the game becomes more a case of micro managing a 360 pad than mastering virtual aircraft when I play sim mode.

If sim mode had padlock view, I'd probably play it more but I much prefer realistic at present because I can concentrate more on flying whilst maintaining a degree of realism. I just hate the fact that the buttons aren't remappable and you have to press that silly thumb stick down to look around - the same thumb stick which controls throttle and rudder.

Anyway, whilst this post might look like a complaint, it isn't really. I'm just stating an opinion on my prefered game play - I actually love the game on 'realistic'.

I'm just wondering which mode other people prefer to play? I'll stick to 'full realism' on the PC version where I can customise key settings etc. more effectively.
