I'm sure it's great and all but i don't do jet sims that much, especially modern ones. I'd be ok with a Korean add-on or even maybe Vietnam or an imaginary cold-war turned hot scenario with early jets, but all the electronics take the fun out of it for me: i prefer CEM on pistons to managing some MFDs
 Another reason is that i find western hardware overdone to the Nth degree, i was tempted to get Black Shark at some point (it's Russian and unusual) but then i changed my mind. RoF i tried again after it became free to play and while i absolutely had a blast in the early days with red baron 1 and 2 and also red baron 3D, for some reason RoF doesn't "do it" for me. That along with some design decisions that i find restricting in terms of evolution and gameplay steered me clear of that too. Maybe i need to see a live demonstration of a modern jet sim sometime and have an experienced flier point me to the cool elements (in a way of "yes it takes time, but look what you can do if you learn it", sort of an incentive to get going with it), because as you can see the only sim i currently fly is CoD and it's not for lack of trying other things. To be honest however i'm not complaining, i don't have that much time to fly lately and CoD takes up my free time on its own, if i had more sims to fly i'd be swamped. So many sims and not enough hours in a day

Have been enjoying DCS A10 as well, coupled with track ir & Helios/touchscreen with exported mfd's etc. Good thing about Helios is that it let's you create pop up check lists so I can remember how to do things in a complex sim as this

the learning curve isn't that steep for the DCS A10-C, but after the flyer gets there... cleared hot and look out.
as Gozr mentioned, it is a meticulously put together sim (and it is a sim)

It was $40 yesterday? I'll have to keep a closer eye on Steam, $59 today
 Company of Heroes is $1.99 right now - any good?
