Does anyone else have trouble switching from Blue to Red?. I personally like to fly the BF-109. But I like to see even teams so I've started flying a Spitfire. Not an easy thing for me as its a totally different bird to the 109. One thing I find frustrating is converting measurements and the inability to read the gauges at a glance. Much of the time when things get busy (like tracking a bandit) I have no idea of my airspeed or height. It makes me want to stick to blue..

This would never happen in real life. A pilots life would depend on their ability to read the gauges at a glance. He would most likely be flying for his country of origin. I think the heads up display (Pilots choice to switch on/off) is a necessary if red/blue team switching is to be encouraged. Further more I don't see it being in any way a cheat just a simple way of emulating what would not be a problem in real life.
