I heard this wasn't a flight simulator...more of just a game type airplane game. Can anyone confirm?

I think he means "arcade-type" airplane game. I heard it's closer to Super R Type than Flight Simulator.

Yeah I thought it was more of an arcade type game than a simulator.

Was thinking about giving this a shot, but after your statement I am not quite sure if I want to waste the time downloading. LOL

Good looking game... feels more like a demo than a full game, though.

I enjoyed having my trainer yell at me when I did a barrel roll while she was trying to play the ukulele, though

It's different from flight simulator. I actually have the original version of this game.
