Lock On had it's flaws, but it did get better. I've played Flaming Cliffs quite a bit, and it's actually not bad....if you stick to for example the vanilla Frogfoot or the T-Frog.
If you want one mother of a challenge, pick up Black Shark 2. I don't know how many hours I spent trying to learn to fly that bird, only to have it
SEVERELY punish me for any errors I did. Just like in real life. Hell, don't even need enemies, as it's insanely easy to die just through not being one step ahead of the aircraft. As McFly say above me, all DCS-products require a serious attitude towards learning to fly things on max realism. The sim will pull absolutely no punches, and it will be an insane challenge to learn. But when you start getting the hang of it, it will reward you with many, many hours of great fun. Just takes time getting there. A LOT of time...
I'm looking to pick up both DCS:World (which is free) but also all modules for it to give me the maximum amount of aircraft to fly. Just have to get done with my joystick/throttle-build first.
