Currently all aircraft are modeled without factory defects, or production line variations, as it's the only way to pull off an electronic simulation with any kind of balance.
So... How are we going model our pilots? There are far more variations in the human machine than in any number of WW2 aircraft.
Is your pilot 18 years old and very fit or 25 years old and less so?
Too much time at the pub last night?
Flew a difficult mission yesterday evening and now have to scramble early in the morning?
This will be a gigantic can of worms to implement, and will make the FM wars of the past seem trivial.
