It's like the stupid start up sequence. It may be real, but any one with any sense has already reduced it to a single programmed joystick button press.
People: We need to get beyond the rivet counting and re examine why any one would buy this.
I postulate that people buy PC games to have fun with, not to count rivets.
Rivet counting _may_ help a sim, but left unchecked, it can bugger up a good game.
We're already losing dedicated IL-2 players. How many new players do you think we'll attract if the game isn't identified as fun?

Right!
The only realism I like in a Sim is FM, Aircraft Limits(G's, Overspeed's) engine management (prop,mix,temps), balistics and damage models but all the rest is useless if you want to have fun in a game...
otherwise it's like going in a emergency simulator... ask real pilots if they like it...
