Hahaha, that's brilliant

As someone said before, this could be an expansion/plug-in for MSFS to facilitate something like a persistent online world, or a new product/modified FSX that will do something similar.

As for flight models, it's largely an individual thing for MSFS. I fly FSX quite often on a friend's PC and the difference between various aircraft is night and day.

The stock FSX flight dynamics are not that accurate. For example, flat-spins are impossible in the stock flight model and there are various inaccuracies with helicopters. However, FSX is surprisingly moddable and 3rd party add-on makers can and have used this to good effect. While FSX can't do flat spins on its own, there are add-on aircraft that can and they do it pretty convincingly.

Overall, i think IL2 is ahead in the FM department, simply because the stock version has all the necessary bits and pieces in place.
