does it require learning a 300 page manual to fly? just curious not that I will have time for another game and 3 web sites and 1 dedicated server. I think I also have a family around here somewhere?

The difficulty/realism depends on how many options you select.
With less of the ultra-hard option selected you should be able to fly OK if you have previously played any flight sim.
The instruction book is pretty short and most of it is historical background.
Since this is a WWII sim, you basically need to know what buttons to push and a few aerobatic manuvers (unlike modern day sims where you have a shitload of electronic crap to figure out: radar, FLIR, smart bombs, etc)

IMHO the graphics are great and the AI is better that Janes WWII fighters (ie. they do more than play "chicken" with you)
