Something like DCS or Falcon BMS with realistic flight physics, but more arcade controls (the aircraft should handle realistically, but I shouldn&amp;#x27;t have to spend 20 minutes starting the aircraft and pushing simulated buttons and switches in the cockpit, even though I have a great appreciation for that level of detail).&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t want my aircraft to have 99 missiles, and 9999 machine gun rounds. I want to have 2 bombs and 4 air-to-air missiles, and I want to fly a tense 15 minute mission into and out of enemy territory. Battle Royal games have shown players are willing to go 5 or 10 minutes between combat if the tension and possibility of surprise combat is there, and have perma-death, give me that in an air combat game.</text></comment>

All of the controls are configured by default for best use, and it&amp;#x27;s easy to fly in LAC&amp;#x27;s online, multi-player, server-based missions without ever needing a keyboard. Even voice comms among players are supported!&lt;p&gt;Perfect.</text></comment>
