any one here play flight simulator ?

..................

I've dabbled in IL-2: Sturmovik 1946, but I'm terrible at it. I can usually take off without too many problems. After that I mostly end up falling to the ground in flames. The rare times I don't get shot down I almost always crash when trying to land. The AI kicks my butt, so I never tried flying against actual humans.

I've never tried MS Flight Simulator or anything else. I really only tried Sturmovik because it was a WWII one.

Are flight simulators difficult games to play?
