Haha, well that's about the only thing it has. The rest of the game when I tried it was super cheeeeeesy. Like didn't come close to AH in terms of flight model or flying feeling. I just thought it was for 10 year olds getting into online air combat for the first time.
What a lot of people seem to fail to grasp is by the look of things, the FM over there is good enough. Planes range from slower and twistier to faster and less twistier. That's all the vast majority of gamers want.
While people may be able to tell the difference here, the real grognards are over in DCS, and to a certain degree IL2 because for some reason engine management is apparently somehow fun for them.
