Cassini observations have found that the plasma and magnetic field conditions upstream of Titan are far more complex than they were thought to be after the Voyager encounter. Understanding the effects of the variable upstream conditions on Titan's plasma interaction and the evolution of Titan's ionosphere/atmosphere is one of the main objectives of the Cassini mission. To compliment the mission we perform hybrid simulations of Titan's plasma interaction to examine the effects of the incident plasma distribution function and the angle between the magnetic field and the flow velocity. We closely examine the results on Titan's induced magnetosphere and the resulting pickup ion properties.
