  1. The current king of hard-core flight sims has just ascended the throne.
  2. To really make the game more than a 5 minute thrill ride, dedication and study and going to have to be a large part of the game for you. Fighting against opponents in Flanker is very challenging. Lowering the realism will help quite a bit until you feel ready to notch the realism up some.
  3. A few technical issues prevent this product from overtaking "Falcon 4.0" as the premier hardcore flight sim on the market today, but that's not to say it's set in stone. This is a very complex and sophisticated aircraft, and the simulation built around it is equally so.
  4. It isn't the perfect game, and the anal attention to detail may reduce the appeal it has to the general game playing populous.
