The standard Asobo planes are not a big challenge. They are generally very simply modelled. Also many of the standard planes are used as trainers or are known for not being too difficult to fly (Robin DR 400, C152, C172, Savage Cub, Bonanza, CTLS etc… ).
Compared to that the Hurricane is a real beast of a plane IRL. Just imagine a Savage Cub with a 12-cylinder engine and 800 hp and your getting close. The Hurricane of course has over 1200 hp but is heavier as well.
That said: the flight model of the freeware Hurricane still isn’t terribly sophisticated so it’s a good plane to learn.
