" It also seems to be painful to set up with controllers as well. "
Hi zswobbie1, I'd just like to pick up on your point and say this to people and I'm not trying to be awkward with anyone. This is trying to be a simulator. It will of course always be called a Game for various reasons but it is still understandably a bit complex in it's initial setting up for those not familiar with the effort needed to do that. However it is a one time exercise which will probably not all be completed on day one because the user is keen to jump into a cockpit and go fly. More settings are likely to be made by the user as they discover the need. It takes a litle time to navigate and learn the menus buit that's not unreasonable. Also, if someone thinks they can fly this 'simulator' with a keyboard and mouse and complain about the difficulty then, IMHO, they have bought the wrong product.
If someone wants to fly reasonably seriously in a simulator like this they need to give it time and apply themselves. It also takes a little time to create a decent flight plane and then go fly it. However, I am often happy to create a small flight (I don't even fly wide-body) and go fly it but I still had to set up the controls.
