Oleg did model stick forces along with trim. IL2 pilots are restricted to 20 kg strength for game considerations, possibly because fatigue modeling was too much code. The IL-2 stick interface is strength based, how far you move your joystick modified by your stick settings says how much strength the virtual pilot applies to the virtual stick. And trim affects the virtual back forces (from control surfaces) that IL-2 does model. Oleg having been a test pilot did have ideas he wanted in his sim.
