Don't check my playtime for this one because I have only purchased this to play the community mod "Falcon BMS" which is absolutely worth it. One of the best simulator on the PC, I would even argue that it rivals DCS in terms of simulation.

Falcon 4.0 was quite good, but now quite outdated, Falcon BMS is really good, although i think the FOV does feel a little zoomed in even at max zoomed out.
And essentially its just like playing with the F-16 in DCS, but it doesn't cost $100, and i think the only thing holding this game back is the keybinds, which trying to sort through & change the keybinds in some other games can take a few hours but you get there in the end, with this game you've gotta have some serious dedication to be able to sort and change the keybinds, and it will likley takes multiple full days.
If that doesn't stop you and you do have the time on your hands to change the keybinds, then i definitely recommend the game, if not, maybe this isn't the game for you.

By the way, Falcon BMS doesn't run off steam so it doesn't affect the steam playtime, but you do need Falcon 4.0 to play Falcon BMS.
