Recommend me a flight sim please.

As title. I'm after summat thats not too difficult to learn or has the option to make easier (or less reallistic I suppose), has fast modern jets as well as a selection of WW2 fighters, (spitfires, hurricanes, FW190, ME109, etc), or the option download extra models when needed like FSX iirc. Good combat is a deffo bonus as well.
Any ideas, recommendations?

But the quick answer is Lock On for modern aircraft and IL2 for WW2. Edit:- and DCS:-Black Shark if you're into helicopters

I was under the impression that IL2 was only russian and german aircraft? That'll do nicely if it contains spitfires, hurricanes, typhoons and even some of the more famous american aircraft

Looks like thats the one for me then, cheers mate.
I'm also downloading the demo for FSX so I'll give that a go also.

fsx is ace, the missions are fun.

il2 is great also, loads of content, 100's of planes from all the ww2 powers.

IL2 can also be had from GOG.com now too

Looks like a good deal for IL2 + 3 other games on steam this weekend. €10 for 4 games - not sure what the sterling price is.
