How simple is "simplified"?

I'll need a few days to get sorted with the basic game first - that's the beauty of more content for later.

I keep my First Eagles very stock. I add terrain mods only. (and peters FM's)

 

As far at SF2:E goes, when NF4+ is released, it is a must for SF2:E. A mods mod. Easy to install and more campaign aircraft variety.

"shadow inside cockpit view"

I think cockpit shadows are enabled when the plane has OpenCockpit=true set in it's data files. TK might turn pit shadows on for all aircraft at some point.

This game really sounds a lot more complex than it originally got credit for.

 

Yes, the whole "simplified" bit is really only a matter of how many buttons you need to learn. LOMAC and Falcon turned me off because of that. Flight models are more complex than they get credit for too, our flanker can do a real cobra, not scripted on a keypress like LOMAC.
