Have you got FSX? Have you got WWII fighters to add to it? If not, you should give it a try. It gives you a much more detailed flying proceedure with many of the cockpit functions modelled and workable.. This gives you a better understanding of proceedures in WWII aircraft.. You will note I say 'many' of the cockpit items are workable, but still not all!
For a WWII combat sim it just isn't feasible to model all proceedures 100%.. Try flying in a dogfight and try to use all the functions in a 'clickable' cockpit.. It doesn't work believe me.
If you had all the functions to hand and within reach like a real aircraft that would be different, but on a computer sim it's impractical as things stand now..
I fly real aircraft.. I also fly their representatives in sims.. and although sims give you the idea and are similar in some respects.. it's still pretty different from the real thing.
