Partly yes:  there is a great difference (obviously) between the performance
envelopes of propellor and jet aircraft.   (Geez, you mean I _can't_ accelerate
during a 90 degree climb in my Spitfire???)  :-)

Partly no:  the graphics do slow the game down a little, but there are three
settings (high detail, some detail, no detail).  I fight with no detail and
land with some detail.

Yep, although the mouse gives better control.
