Bobby S! - Did you enjoy FCG? It's better, and potentially lots better.
If you fly with POV hat snap view ; or mouse view or better still TrackIR, then it really is good.
Follow my setup and it is not arcady.
Only real drawback is lack of torque ( and that can be over modelled
), and at the moment,lack of different planes to fly.
I gambled my £20 and I'm glad I did.
