I was frustrated with this game at first but the more I tried the more I learned and now I cant stop playing it. I dont think this is the hardest flight sim but maybe next to the hardest. I think it has the best graphics for any pc jet sim so far and it takes a beast of a computer to run it maxed out. A controller/flight stick is a must and adds to the realism of the game, also every single key on a standard keyboard serves a function in this game. As others have said there are big rewards to be reaped if you are willing to take some time to learn all the functions. Plenty of forums and modders out there to keep this game alive for years to come and I highly recommend this game to anyone interested in jet sims. BTW I only paid $10 for this game and I have spent alot of hours playing it!
