Hey Bastido, It's when you start the single missions.
If you play wop on reaslistic the plane is on rails.
On realistic it turns of air physics and your plan always flys level and straight,, there is no setting the flaps or any manual engine control or anything. Realistic mode is arcade mode with some spins added in.

I'm in Nashville on a business trip right now, so I can't check and tell you where the settings are on the campaign. I beat the campaign when the game was BOP, and that was a good while ago.

Just play some of the single missions on Full sim mode, and you'll notice a big difference.
I'm 36 years old and have been playing Sims since the C64 days and Amiga.

Wop does not have Il2's full depth (Full QMB, FMB), but on full sim mode using engine management and all those aspects, it is not easy by any means.
Thats all I'm saying.

And


Yes ROF can look pretty Darn Good, I play it maxed out on my system and it looks sweet.
Its still not Wop visuals, but a very good looking game.

Wop's maps are damn near identical recreations from the actual time frame.

They spent a long time makeing them.
They used thousands of aerial photos and city photos and WWII maps to recreate each city to almost perfect layout. Every street Block and building position and tree is right where is was in that mission's time frame.
Have a good evening, Desode
