Pros: Very realistic, so a little hard to win. Excellent detail, both aircraft and scenery.
Woks well with my Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold joystick.
Lots of personal settings you can make.
Quick response from Support-see cons

Cons: Only one con so far, it would not activate after putting in the Product Key.
It took me about six tries with support to get it activated, but they always got back to me in less than 24 hrs.
What it finally took was a detail list of all the steps I had originally taken and a picture of my receipt and everything that came with the game including the Key in the DVD case, all in one picture as I couldn't see how to add more than one attachment to the support form.
Reply emails to early responses form them would not solve the problem. Make a new support request with all the above included. They activated it from their end at that point. They just wrote back to me telling that it was now activated. At that point I could see the Channel Missions Channel Map and had all the extra aircraft that were supposed to be with this game.

Other Thoughts: It was worth the extra trouble I had to get it working. Be patient and good luck.
I followed their original instructions on how to load the game exactly as they said.
Join the ROF forum if you need help with anything, I did. Also download the Manual.

Pros: None

Cons: Will not work

Other Thoughts: Don't waste your time or money. I'm not the brightest bulb but... this game just doesn't work. I wouldn't even take it if it were free.

Pros: Looks like an interesting simulator, IF you could get it to fully work.

Cons: I ordered the "Channel Battles Edition".
This edition supposed to give you extra planes and scenarios. However as been noted by others here, I also get an invalid license key. This appears to be because the servers have been upgraded and merged with Steam. But this doesn't work regardless to how I try to connect to register.

I filed a tag/complaint and when I got a response, they want an ridiculous amount of feedback regarding proof of purchase and more info concerning the problem in spite of them knowing what the problem is.

Not only is the above giving me problems but the game doesn't like my joystick, which I have also read complaints of the game not liking certain joysticks. Sometimes the joystick will function, halfway, most times it will not.

I am now debating on whether or not to even try and send them the info the company wants in registering my license key so it will unlock the Channel Edition I ordered and paid for. Most likely I will just dump the game in the trash can and forget about trying to get any more simulators for X86 Windows computers. This has been nothing but a waste of money.... and I am rarely this critical of anything.
