Wow, you have a really appalling appreciation of the amount of work that goes into producing a simulator like Il-2 compared to a run of the mill game. To call it "not a simulator" because it's not as high-fidelity as an industry example is really quite bizarre. Guess what? In the 1980s and 90s the system in the first picture would have had a similar degree of fidelity in flight modelling to that Il-2 manages on home computers. Does that make it a game?
