I'd think without further training and in an easy to fly plane with a flight instructor present most of the people having a few hundred flight hours in IL-2 would be able to make a few basic maneuvres - no start and landings of course - but I may be wrong. After all you learn a few things about flight physics in IL-2 that are still valid in real life. I'd expect the most startling difference would be the feeling of gravitational forces. I'd bet there are a few virtual pilots out there, that have flown planes in real life, maybe they can tell us something about RL vs. IL?
