The game is mildly amusing, but if you are looking for realism look elsewhere. The flight controls are sluggish. The views are not helpful. You either have to use the "chase" view which isnt helpful or an unrealistic cockpit view where the ADI ladder is backwards and banks the opposite direction of the horizon. The controls are difficult to manipulate while flying. The cockpit chatter is absolute nonsense. Dont be fooled by the decent reviews if you are a hardcore carrier landing fan.
