Hi!
If U want fun, fun, fun, get a great console flight simulation game.
If you want realistic combat fun, get IL-2 Sturmovic for your desktop computer, preferable with 3 or more screens. From what I have read, this is THE best WWII flight sim, and maybe THE best one. I prefer WWII stuff, partly because there is more flying and less button-pushing.
Just found this:
IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If you want to play Sturmovik on your PS3 (or, God Forbid, XBox 360) then you can avoid all the patches and mods and glitches and frustration that comes from trying to play games on your PC.
If you want realistic fun, get MS Flight Sim ____ 2004?(whatever your computer can handle, as the newest version is pretty much ahead of what any "normal" computer can handle).
If you want to continue real flying and be successful, you should do step number three above and go through all the ms flightsim flight lessons, staying one or two steps ahead (or maybe more, if you can handle it) of your aircraft lesson with your msflightsim lessons.
If you do flightsim lessons, when you get in the plane, a LOT of stuff will be familiar/comfortable. You can even learn to talk on the radio WHILE you fly with flightsim.
Good luck!
