I decided to give it another chance last week. I still suck as hard now as I did back then. I miss the games from Jane's so much.
You have to dedicate yourself to learning the controls and then it's extremely satisfying to drop bombs and so forth. The tutorials help a little but there are some really nice user made manuals out there that explain every bit of everything you ever wanted to know.
Something else that helped me is getting a decent HOTAS, with my X-52 I could map Air/Nav/Ground keys to different profiles and basically never had to use the keyboard for anything.
It's not as arcdey as the Jane's games, which I liked, a lot.
I would really like another Lock-On to be made, with the most up to date planes, Super Hornet, F-35, F-22, F-15E.
That would really be awesome.
