i'm actually playing it at the moment, and although it is nowhere near the sim/physics level that we are used to with IL2, i must say that i am quite enjoying it, especially the fact that it looks like IL2 with updated graphics, and a really nice, smooth framerate, making it very playable even when there's lots of action, smoke and explosions....
worth a try?  - yes, imho, as long as you aren't expecting a hard-core simulation... :)

It's definitely fun, up to date graphics (Cockpit), easy handling.
Once a year, to remind you what a Rip-Off is.
Nice DMs, beautifull to watch it ripping.
FM is a pott of "Leipziger Allerlei". Here it lacks, it's just funny Arcade.
You need to click thru a wood of Messages until you finally end in a Pit, don't expect quick fun.
As an offliner I have my probs in these activation required Games.
I dunno, I can't access 70% of the content, even if I spent 30€. Katastrophe, "rude word"!
I can't activate Hackencruizes, as well as
custom skins, generally, customization=0.
Yes I read through Forums and yes it is annoying it keeps showing me the default stuff.
And it only looks good from pit, as far as I change to outside, it looks like yummy Grüne Bohnensuppe, it's delicious, but like a foolish housewife swapping too much salt in it  ::), you have no appetite,
that was sarcastic, really try to find the nice lighting/shadowing of the pit-view, in 3rd view its a mess of bright halo added. It keeps farting I need to buy content for Yummies, whatever that maybe.

** 2 Stars of 10 possible from me, for the good Pit view and some strange FM fun, the rest is a lame donkey, they tried to sell me as nice Don-Breed. :'(

I've read that maps are very small and it feels like flying in a box.
