I got a free invite for War Thunder and had a go at it for couple of weeks

With AH you log on pick a plane and your off, with War Thunder it was very messy

Rise of Flight has got it sorted out fine as well, you log on then your off

I know there is a learning curve for any game but the screen was a confusing mess of icons and information.
Strange that they have not looked what works in Flight Combat Sims and took the good bits

AH monthly subscription is very good and Rise of Flight buy a plane when you want for a £3.50 is a good setup, in both games you should stick to one plane until your good in it anyway

The clouds are fantastic by the way, the ones in game are good as well
