Fun:
I enjoyed Lock on which is necessary to also have installed,but Flaming cliffs is brilliant,I am not into the very detailed realistic simulation,I opted for the easier option,maybe my age (77) explains?,but even so the detail and graphics are first class,so for novice or expert,I would highly recommend this product.
dont hesitate! buy it and have some fun!

Fun:
This is not really a casual game. Printed on A4 paper single sided there are 6 pages of commands. There is a steep learning curve.
However, if you persevere it is a really enjoyable game. It took me two weeks or so to get to grips with just the A10. Highly recommended for combat avsim enthusiasts, but do not expect to be an ace straight out of the box!

Fun:
Superb flight simulation which is basically a superior upgrade to Lock On, (you need to have a copy of Lock On installed on your PC).
My one niggle about this, and I am afraid that it is a major niggle, is that there is a superb video editor system built into the program which means you can fly a mission, save it as a track file, then play this back and edit your views over and over till you are happy with them... then output the finished "film" in hi res, even on a low spec PC. A simply brilliant set-up for producing the most amazing web-tastic videos. Youtube is full of them and some of them have won major film awards... yes really!!
So what is my niggle? This version of Flaming Cliffs converts the tracks, after you have comepleted all your edits of views and camera angles etc... to an AVI file. Except, it doesn't!! The output file is actually an OGV file format which is a very exotic and quite exclusive file format. It is certainly NOT an AVI file. Adobe Premier, even the latest version, does not recognise it, so editing the raw output file is a major problem.
The work round most people go for is to play the output file and grab it "second hand" using FRAPS. FRAPS however is not a free program.
Alternatively you can convert the OGV file to AVI using the latest AVS program. AVS however, is also not a free program.
I have spent hours and hours searching for a free OGV to AVI converter. I am satisfied that there are none out there that work on a Windows 7 64 bit system. Seems to me that the devlopers have deliberately chosen a file output format that REQUIRES you to buy one of the above mentioned programs. Otherwise, why on earth couldn't they have kept the AVI codec they had previously used?
A seriously annoying niggle!! Grrrrrrrrrrr.......

Exremely realistic, fun, difficult, engrosing and time consuming sim!
