I have to respectfully disagree. The best thing about BoP is the games authentic physics and aerodynamics. There are three modes of realism for a reason and they cater to each persons interest in the game. I for one was extremely pleased to see a flying game where an airplane actually behaves like an airplane. I've always disliked most other flight games on console for the simple fact that you never have to "fly" your airplane. You simply steer it around with complete disregard for physical laws of reality. If all I wanted to do was shoot then there are plenty of shooters for that. I like those games too. However, having to actually aviate as well as fight is what makes this game the most successful and rewarding flight "sim" on the present gen consoles. I have lots of flight time in Cessnas, Diamond aircraft, Piper's, Jetstream 32 and CRJ 200. Let me tell you, without autopilot engaged, you never stop making adjustments, even with all three types of trim properly set.
The only problem therein is that in the aircraft you can make much finer adjustments with your contraols than you are able to using a simple gamepad or flight stick.
