I gather this works in all modes, but is probably most useful in Simulation when you’re locked to the cockpit view, it’s not something I’ve tried myself but I gather FaceTrackNoIR is one of the popular options. One rather interesting thing is that the game supports head or face tracking hardware that allows you to look around in the game by… looking around. If you’re ready for Simulation Battles you’re well beyond the scope of beginner’s guides, good luck to you! OK, that’s a wild exaggeration, I got nowhere near the end of the runway before crashing. If that’s still not real enough for you then there’s another mode after that, Simulator Battles, no assistance at all with flying, targets aren’t marked on screen, you get to control the prop pitch and mixture and trim and magneto positions and… I tried a test flight in Simulator mode, and very nearly made it to the end of the runway before crashing. If you’d like to give it a try, I’ve whipped up another quick guide (it’s from before update 1.37, when Realistic Battles were known as Historical Battles, but the general principles still hold). Germany vs the Soviet Union or Japan vs Britain). Realistic Battles are based on either real or alternate history scenarios with one or two countries per team (e.g. You’re limited to one aircraft, no respawns, so choose carefully, and bombs and ammunition don’t reload in flight, you have to return to your airfield and land. In Realistic mode you can still fly with a mouse and keyboard quite easily, the Instructor takes care of the basic flying, and you can stay in third person view, but you won’t be able to get away with the really silly stuff from Arcade mode like vertical dive bombing from 30,000 feet in a heavy bomber exceed the maximum speed or G-force rating for your aircraft and you’ll tear its wings off. If you’re seeking more realistic and considered gameplay, you might want to step up at least to Realistic Battles by clicking over the “To Battle” button to bring up the mode selection window. These guides are aimed at getting a new player up and running in Arcade mode, a whirling maelstrom of instant action.
