Unless you own a beautiful set of Virpil controls, get a firmware update, and then have to rebind the controls for 20 aircraft. I prefer the MSFS approach.
As for weapons systems, radar, countermeasures, and datalink, none of that is required to have a really great flying experience in a fighter jet. As long as the flight controls are correct, that’s good enough for me.
As for damage modeling and systems failures, I can live without all that too. I want my flaps to extend when I tell them to. I want my gear to come down when I flip the switch. I get annoyed when the sim goes BOOM you have overstressed your airframe start again.
Give me the best flight model and a truly beautiful environment, and I’m happy as can be.
