For the custom difficulty, I'm guessing you're screen says "Difficulty Estimate: Realistic" (or something like that) in the bottom left?

yeah it said Realistic but i dont know why the trophy dident unlock.


Edit. for some reason the trophy finally unlocked today and the platinum whit it but i have no idea what i did wrong i got same settings all the. Time oh well i got it any way

Can I get the Simulator Trophy using this method if Real Damage Model is YES ?

"Real Damage Model" set to No should be what causes this "glitch", so no. On top of that, you can't create an easier custom difficulty that gets evaluated as simulator compared to the true simulator difficulty. Only a more difficult one.

Damn... I'm really having trouble destroying the 5 ground units for the Trophy Dx I'll probably make it one of the last trophies...

It's not that hard really, got it first try.

Just get the hang of flying in simulator difficulty first. Stay low and try to stay to the sides of the island, rather than flying over it in the middle. There's a lot more AA guns that will shoot at you if you fly there.
The targets are weakly armored, so take your time to aim and fire a good burst once you get closer.

Hedgehopper is not hard as it seems, but there's a way to make it easier.

After the take off whith the default pilot you will note that the second pilot in the list (press select) is always down, it make impossible to arrive at the ground strike section with all the planes.

At the very beginning switch immediatly the pilot and choose the second, if you're lucky enough you'll arrive with 4 planes to the crucial point giving you the chanche of 4 kamikaze attack instead of 3.

I know it's not much, but i hope it can help

You can change a few settings to easier and still have
it evaluate it as Simulator. You can turn Pilot Mortality
to no and there are a few HUD settings you can turn
on, the HUD won't appear so most of the settings you
can turn on don't help though. I think you can also
turn off the Flutter Effect. Just tinker with the settings
to see what it will allow you to do. I managed to get
Hedgehopper and my Platinum on my second try this
morning. My first try I quit before the first check point
because 1 of my retarded wingmen flew off the deck of
the carrier and never pulled up so he went for an early
swim and another blew up on the deck of the carrier
for no reason.

PS Shouldn't this game be called Birds of Aluminum? It
seems to me that these planes were made of aluminum.

Late reply, but I've been busy...

When you select a mission the game should ask you on what difficulty you want to play and if you want limited F/A or not. Just select custom difficulty and you'll be able to customize your difficulty in the next screen.
