You know guys you might want to take up for real in the air in a real airplane flying. If you desire full real startups and clickable cockpits and such. I'm not laying a trip on you here. I mean it.
Think about it, you may just need to take the next step and go take some flying lessons.
The one thing about real flying and doing a flight simulator. You get a little of the fun things of real world flying, but you don't have to do all the mundane (extremely) important detail requirements.
Honestly, can't see why anyone wants to spend 15 minutes and pre-flight check to move their joystick around and fly the virtual world. The idea of looking around the cockpit for the right switch to click when the keyboard is so accessible seems a little much.
Not knocking anyones penchant for reality, just wondering how far you gotta go with a combat flight simulator.
I do WW2 flight simulators only, early jets can be fun too.
If you want to do the full real bit there is an old sim that still has an enormous number of followers and updates are constantly released by 3rd party. That is the Falcon 4.0.
Look into Falcon 4.0 if you want to get into serious air combat simulation. Not only do you get the switches, startups... but you get a great warhorse aircraft (F-16) still flying today in many countries.
One great thing about it when you fly against the AI you have an advantage we don't have with WW2 aircraft, radar. Radar lets you fly and fight in the surreal world of the AI. You can see the enemy when he isn't visible to your eyes, and you can shoot him down only to see a few puffs of smoke.
