That’s a moot point however, since true flight simulators can only be made on the PC and not on consoles.

That's an odd thing to say. The 360 and PS3 have more horsepower than the average gaming rig (note I didn't say top end, average gamers don't spend $800+ on a graphics card). And I set up IL2 on my 360 controller.
So, how is it that it can't work? Or is it that many pc developers don't care to take the time to come up with ways to implement the controls? When I map a pc game to a controller, it's usually not that hard. A large number of the kb buttons used are for basic communication. On consoles, pretty much everyone has a headset and no need for controls for that to be mapped out. The consoles can each incorporate a keyboard and have their own keypads that can go on the controllers themselves, even if the game really DID need that for some odd reason. Both consoles have flightsticks as well.
Sounds more like "I'm not working on it, so it must not be possible" to me. Might be a perfectly nice guy, but that was a ridiculous statement. And not all flight enthusiasts want a sim as in-depth as full controls on DCS Blackshark. Even IL2 on the PC had settings so that you could actually bounce the plane off the ground. LOL Does that mean it's not a sim?
