Most impossible mission imo, except I only played any of the missions on sim so maybe it's not as hard in realistic

Like many others here, I'm bound and determined to only play this game on sim, although I fudge a little and use the HUD instead of the real cockpit. I just completed the Campaign portion and will prepare for grief from Free Hunt on Single Mission . I have a decent 26" HD monitor, but I still have great difficulty distinguishing friendly fighters from enemies. If I'm not sure, I usually give a short burst and see if I get the "Check your aim" message. I should probably bone up on my plane recognition skills.
