If you're looking for a WW2 flight sim, get this, as it has everything you want... Once you get the AAA mod, you will even be able to fly the enola gay and boxcar and drop nuclear bombs. The only complaint I have is it's pretty much only Eastern Front, no real western front stuff... This has all of the IL-2 series in it though, so go for it, it's the most complete in aircraft listing to date...
This is as close to war as you can get without going to a warzone. When you get the addons (you will need a lot of space for all the mods, somewhere around 1 terrabyte of mods out there), it gets even better. The singleplayer is amazing, and well scripted. Sure it is very glitchy, but you have to remember this is a first gen engine that does a heck of a lot. The truth is that this game is what started VBS, which is what the USMC, ADF, and MOD use for training their soldiers. Had it not been for OFP, we wouldn't see things like VBS. Now there is ArmA, which is good, but the singleplayer sucks compared to OFP. As far as realism goes, this is stunning. The one main problem is that you actually need to know people who play OFP to play MP, as the MP community is very small and tight.
