Where do you go from here?
I usually just crash.

OK ok ok ok fine, stop throwing rotten vegetables. Welcome back to the world of wings! I've found that for my flight sim needs, IL-2 1946 and the few mods out there are pretty much all I need. Sure I have no less than 7 individual installations of the game on my PC, but it's a small price to pay for the variety it gives you. The 4.11.1 patch is outstanding and I'm really enjoying it, and the HSFX 6.0.1 mods really makes it that much more enjoyable. It doesn't have the depth or options that say DBW has, but it's still outstanding and a real credit to everyone who's put the work into it.
I do not like or recommend the other modern combat flight sims for various personal reasons.
I utterly hate steam and the control it takes away from the user, so CoD is out.
Rise of Flight is riddled with ridiculous always-online DRM and will nickle and dime you for aircraft.
LOMAC/FC2/Black Shark/A-10 and the other sims by that publisher all use a knockoff of Starforce that limits your activations per PC. For those of us who frequently change PCs and hardware, we are out of luck.
If you feel like spending some bucks on hardware, then I have an older Cougar HOTAS setup that is outstanding and worth every dollar I paid for it. CH Pro USB rudder pedals are solid, but a bit close together for my taste. TrackIR is also worth it's weight in gold, but you should make sure to get the ProClip as well. Not cheap, but the experience is amazing.
