"Years".

I'm being flippant, but the point remains: None of us here not working for the publisher or developer has played Birds of Prey yet, but if it's anything like traditional realistic sims… then mastery is not something you can count in hours, or even dozens or hundreds of hours. It either becomes a life-consuming passion, or it doesn't.

But don't let that put you off! Learning isn't half the fun, it's all the fun!

Also (and again bear in mind that I've never actually seen the game!) I would guess that one could play competitively online with maybe a dozen flying hours under one's belt. If the difficulty is balanced well, that is.
