Find the NoSubTitles line and change the 0 to 1: NoSubTitles = 1 This option enables you to switch off these unpleasant physiological reactions, though if you do so, the level of realism lowers considerably. · Wind and Turbulence: Selecting this option disrupts the conditions you would face while flying your plane. Normally, side wind influences takeoff and landing, and turbulence prevents smooth flying. · No Instant Success: If this option is enabled, you have to complete each mission before continuing to the next. If this option is disabled, then you may begin the next mission even if you haven't completed your current mission. · Realistic Landings: If this option is selected, you might break the chassis on rough landings. · Takeoff and Landing: These are two of the most difficult elements of flying, especially landing.

Icons make an object much more noticeable and indicate the nationality of the object by color. In addition, a special inscription on the icon indicates the type of aircraft and its distance from you. Our ability to perceive our actual environment far surpasses our ability to perceive its virtual analogue in terms of resolution and the field of vision, even if all other conditions are similar. However, in real life, there are no icons on targets, and you can deselect the option if you feel like it. · Realistic Gunnery: Deselecting this option produces two effects.
