Flying a low fi model like the F-15 on DCS was pretty realistic but arcadey at the same time. I could easily map most of the controls on my Xbox controller and have the keyboard ready for those rare cases

Seconded! The Su-27 is another nice lo-fi plane that ends up being much more fun/easy to fly as a result of its simplicity.

I got some voice software for windows (I forget the name now) that's much better for the rare cases. I mapped some stuff to it for DCS and Elite and it was great, I could say stuff and it would happen. It feels very futuristic to say "landing gear down" and have the gear start deploying.
