Look at all the features

ok, he might not have asked it in the right way, but the guy has a point..

the "too many to count" answer makes no sense, it is important indeed to know the features of a sim, and it's a developer intelligent and pro-active attitude to explain them in detail so that people can appreciate the work.

IL-2 is 10 years old and I'm sure there are still features you (or I) don't know about. That's why it's important to keep a developer's diary and make it public, so people know about details like cylinder damage models, airfoils, oil temps model etc..
