I just wish I understood how to fight while mashing all those buttons on modern jet aircraft.

Honestly I do. Lots of the Pigs and our friends are really into DCS, but I look at all those systems and my eyes roll back in my head.

Now, if they were Korean War era jets, I'd be all in.

I was just thinking the very same thing. Surely a MiG 15/F-86 combo would be a big success.

It's what they invented HOTAS for, they have the same problem in real life.

I bought Lock On after I saw an online airshow with a bunch of guys doing team aerobatic diplays with the Lock On sim. Very impressive stuff but I must admit I never really got past installing it.

Same here, unfortunately. Like so many other games.
