Default What mode will you play Sim / or realistic

A new topic for us to describe what we prefer in each mode, and which one you will play...

For my part, I love the realism in Sim mode, the flight model of the plane,
the fact that there is no alert for "stalling" or "pull up"
the fact that I can get my engine down with no power (how damages are so real)
.... etc

BUT damned it is so hard to find and follow enemy fighters (bombers are ok) that is a real problem. (especially with my low def TV, and how unconvenient is the look around feature)
In tiger hunt it's almost impossible to find FWs.
One had following me for nearly 10mn without me noticing him. and I wasn't able to see him.

So my heart is balancing I haven't decide yet if i will play the campaign in realistic or sim mode. and it is the same for the multiplayer.

What have you decided on your side ?

PS/ that's the first time in my life that I play a demo so often, I spend all my time since the beginning of the week on that game and I totally forgot COD4

I've come to the grim realization that I'll have to play the game on Arcade(even though that wasn't an option). I play with the 360 controller and there is no absolutely no way in hell I'll ever be able to bring down any of the FW190s without the target tracking. In fact, I don't think I've ever even gotten a shot on one on relaistic or sim! They outturn me and are waaaay faster. I've had to turn down the Elev/Ail sensitivity to keep the P-51 in the sky but it's still a lumbering piece of junk....

It's ok. I can admit it................... I'm an Arcade guy.

I will play realistic as arcade won't be real enough and I have no sim exp. I really want the HOTAS but does anyone know how the look around feature will be controlled on it?

I'll probably play Arcade and Realistic until I grow tired and need a bigger challange.

For me, Sim is just iceing on the cake and will insure that I will be playing BoP for quite a while.

Seeing how I don't have a stick as of yet, I'll be playing in arcade. Maybe try some realistic with the controller. That is if the US demo comes out tomorrow.

If the demo is out tomorrow, I'll be ordering the stick. Once I get the stick, realistic and some sim hours.

I can't wait for the MP though! Even though I'll prob get my arse shot down.... I think that I will have a lot of fun.

Can't wait to see you guys there!

I am really hoping that this leads to future titles and more flight simulator games coming to consoles!

Sim all the way. I've been waiting for a game like this to come down the pike for a long time. Every other console flight game i've ever seen has been met with a resounding "meh." until now.
