I may be bucking the trend, but I am a returning Flanker player who is happy to be in the world of LOMAC.
The main issue aside from Russian aircraft is a steep learning curve that offers tremendous realism but an easy route to a flat spin. This is not a high volume game. I think it is alot like X Plane. LOMAC is clearly the best out there.
BTW, anyone have an email for lockonfiles? I registered but never got my email back from them.
