As for the KOTS, my source is they updated the il2 engine, instead of building a new one from scratch. The following words are form Anton Yudintsev, the head of Gaijin Entertainment, developer of "IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey":

"What we've asked for (and what we recieved) was the source code of Il-2 (flight model and AI)."

FM and AI may seem like small parts of a flight sim engine at a glance. But they takes far more time and human power to biuild than all the other parts because they are the core technology of a flight sim. Without them, IL2 wouldn't have been so popular even if it had ground-breaking graphics at that time. And you can't deny the FM of IL2 was the best among all the flight sim in the market.
