Well even the most experienced of us dont play on complete realism. Youll
almost definitely want to soften up the air to air refuelling option as its
very difficult and you have to do it quite a lot. Youll also be best turning
on near labels becuase you just cant tell which nearby planes are enemies or
friends in the game - due to graphical limitations - but you would in real
life. Labels help a lot. Also I tend to turn off the more difficult padlock
option where you lose lock if the target goes under your plane - too much
like hard work IMO. Other than that you should try and learn the realistic
avionics/radar but youll probably only use 50% of the functionality like I
do. Similarly I can never remember how to mnaually select communications
channels and the like but you never need it as a rule. So although it looks
difficult you really only need to learn to land/ takeoff, manage the radar,
and use the weapons modes. Most of the other stuff is incidental to the
game.
