It's been around for a while now, and it is also on the PC if you really wanted it.  But it's really no more than an arcade shooter. :P ;)

Simulator?  Ha!

I tried it out soley for graphics.  Assigning controls is a nightmare, and despite a joystick flying, quite frankly, sucks.  Some say it works better on the XBox...

Hmm...

Direct port anyone?

Don't waste your time.

What website? ::) They're all impossible to navigate, cluttered, flashy Flash sites.  No one in their right mind makes an entire website in Flash. :P ;)

I agree I hate sites that are nothing but Flash, a little here and there isn't bad but if a site takes more than 30 seconds to load I move on.

It's not really the fact that they take longer to load, it's the fact they're overcomplicated, muddled, and of course it's impossible to rathole any pictures, copy text or save bookmarks.  An example of good website design. ;)

In all fairness one is a game and one is a simulator.  'Tis not fair to compare them.  I notice any game to feature flying comes under fire for not being accurate, as if that was the only option.

PS: I think Blazing Angels could've been mediocre/pretty good if it weren't for the control scheme and what is a valid input device. ;)
