And I don't think il2 modelles any air over the vehicles.

Try this:
By the way, combat flight sims are "first person shooters", but inside a plane. In BF3 you can ride vehicles...

Friendly/Enemy AI (pilots, gunners, ground gun emplacements, vehicles)
Graphics
Object locations/collision detection (aircraft, vehicles, buildings)
Tracking all projectiles (bombs, shells) their size, their paths, their effects.
Fuel and ammo amounts remaining

Take all that, plus the resources to run your OS in the background and you're asking for a hell of a lot from that poor little i5 processor.

Really havn't these comparisons been done too death, anyone that has played any of these games must surely realise how small an area is being mapped and how although everything looks great there is no real bullet modelling etc, Id like to see one of these FPS teams try and make a flight sim, but I think they would throw in the towel when it all becomes to difficult.
You play a sim like Il2, CoD or ROF for years whereas these style games you are bored with in no time, even with the lovely graphics, great online play etc

Oh I will be getting it though, I love FPS games but as I say, this will be about the 4th I will have played in the last 2 years, no real depth to them and the devs aren't interested in releasing too much DLC as they usually have the next version ready to release.

Their art department alone is probably bigger than the entire Maddox Games staff, or the staff of Eagle Dynamics, 777 etc.

Uh, yes you are.

Many of those things are much more complex in CLOD then FB, so it is asking the CPU to do a lot more. Take the engine modelling, for example.
