Falcon Evolution

I've been tempted more than once to try Falcon BMS, but I'm afraid of the lengthy learning curve and spending three days figuring out how to start the engine. Same applies with DCS.

SF2 strikes the right combination of complexity for me.

I fly SF2 most of the time now. The level of commitment is casual and fun. It has just amount of complexity to make it fun. Wish we could update it like the BMS and FreeFalcon teams did. SF2 is holding up well but showing its age. Can you imagine an updated SF2? Not talking about complexity...TW got that nailed - updating just the game and graphics engine to take advantage of the current technology. It would be awesome! 

I think BMS had a rough spot during the transition,  but 435 is looking pretty good. Configuring the controllers is the most challenging task in these sims. It seemed easier this time. But still have to program all those settings. Then, remember those along with SF2, DCS, Sturmovik, Elite, war thunder....whew!. I sort of defaulted to SF2. I still boot up falcon, install the updates, configure it (seemed easier this time?) just enough to fly around and take in the scenery. Falcon will always have a place on my shelf. 

For me, SF2 is more about dogfighting and bombing...DCS, and to some level, Falcon, is more about flying than fighting...there is fun in all of them.
