"they don't have German cockpits". What? Bf-109, Bf-110, Fw-190, Ju-87, He-111, Ju-88, Me-292 etc, etc... (in umpteen different versions for the fighters). Still, if you think that 'great graphics' are more important than 'flight model', IL-2 is probably not for you. It is an air combat simulation, not pointless eye-candy.

Don't have German cockpits?!! I've got to know where you heard that. U.S., German, British, Japanese, Russian, Italian, French, and even Romanian airplanes, all with their own cockpits. (Did I leave anybody out?).

For grafics: get Wings of Prey.
For everything else: get IL-2: 1946.

At the moment IL2 1946.. WoP looks good .. and flies decently but until it comes up with a better multiplayer and some kind of mission builder it is quite handicapped IMO.
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Easy way to tell if a sim is good is to just look at the number of viewers on each forum...IL2 consistently stays high in viewership, which means it is a damn good sim.
I have WOP, which does look great, but you can see from the viewership that it is limited and people have lost interest. You can also tell that Rise of Flight is a very good sim due to all the people following it.
