Is this a player-controlled aircraft? I thought they only had helicopters?

I grabbed that a little while ago. Looking forward to trying it out.
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Very pretty. But no flight simmer flys in external view. Cockpit shots?

Yep sad state of affairs when a first person shooter's aircraft has better terrain/lighting than a dedicated flight sim... if only dcs has that terrain... Since when a dedicated flight sim ever had a better terrain/lighting and/or resuming, better graphics than a FPS game (within the same timeframe of course)?? FPS games ALWAYS HAD better graphics in almost every regard (including better terrain/lighting) - This is certainly due to the fact that FPS games usually models small maps while flight sims models huge maps. Even in ArmA which models "huge" maps for a FPS game that is, ArmA maps aren't bigger than a couple of hundred square kilometers while dedicated flight sims have maps in the range of several thousand square kilometers (some even model the entire world, such as Flight Simulator).
