Its part of the LOCKON series started quite a number of years ago now.
In the series are LOCKON: Modern Air Combat and it's sequel LOCKON: Flaming Cliffs, as well as a helicopter sim, that being Black Shark (which is also interoperable with Flaming Cliffs in multiplayer) and on top of that is a civillian release of a military trainer... A-10C Warthog (which is mooted to become interoperable with Black Shark)
DO yourself a favour... these are excellent sims and worth every penny. The learning curve is steep, product/ community support is phenominal and you won't be disppointed - no sireebob - not one bit.

Use two keyboards.

I didnt have it now but next week it will arrive fortunatly after a long time fighting for it. C card problems and the long time to order/ dispatch it.

I wonder how you think you will do it but, judging from he next sentence you wrote (you do not have the game) your talk is wishfull thinking and not experience.

You may be dissapointed...
(in the forums they mentioned that HIDMacro does not intercept the keystrokes from the second keyboard thus they are received by the game as well)

But... but... where's the propeller? You know, the spinny thing up front?

It always makes me sad to see these poor deprived machines that were built without any propeller. Hell of a thing to do to a plane.

I like the relative simplicity of WWII fighters. It's in between WWI and modern, right in the place where I want it.

But that A-10 game looks really fun. A-10 has always been one of my favorite aircrafts, have multiple posters of a-10 in my room. I might actually give it a shot.

having to read to learn how to fly a modern attack aircraft...

You mean having to read to learn how to fly a 'simulated' modern attack aircraft, give me the real manuals and the real aircraft and I'd get a hard on for it, but for the most part I fire up a flight sim to mess about and have fun, it seems a little strange to take a computer game so seriously, I admit being a real life pilot probably makes me slightly judgemental on this point, flying a PC flight sim is not like the real thing, but for some this is serious business I guess.
