Sim, for me, is the only way to go. Not having a rocket powered plane is what makes it good, you have to maintain energy and use skills to maneuver. You can do Immelmans all day in Sim, but you have to maintain energy to do it. To all the realistic players that get frustrated with sim, try practicing off line, almost all of the skills you use in sim (head turning while flying, energy maintenance, finding enemies, gunnery) are things you get used to with practice and when you do it all becomes very rewarding because its all pretty damned hard, just like it was in real life.
