One can't fault Flight Simulator for not being too exciting as a, well, combat flight simulator. It was never designed with that in mind. Having said that, every aircraft is beautifully modeled and one challenge in particular, the one where one takes the top-secret plane to the stratosphere, is quite unique.

But... yeah, when it comes to thrills Ace Combat 7 is a better choice (and less of a sim which is preferable to most people). I personally do not have time to play this DLC at this point, but I own AC7 and I will get the DLC at some point later in the summer to try it out. With Danger Zone playing will dogfighting, it sounds like fun!
