Not only do we get a realistic workload that will force people to fly smarter, the game also models the pilot's inability to control more than two things at a time. You press two buttons at the same time on your keyboard/hotas that correspond to functions on the side consoles and that effectively means your virtual self has taken his hands off the stick
That's pretty much excellent and will make us appreciate how these aircraft were really flown, because it effectively disables tools we have and they didn't, like hotas macros: in order for a macro to work without wrestling control of the aircraft away from you, adequate delays between each action would have to be part of the macro and this means it could be the same as manually pressing the keys on your keyboard in sequence.
I really like all the effort they've put into this, because the reason our simulated fights are unrealistic stems from the fact that our simulated aircraft have been much easier to operate through the years, even if they fly in an accurate manner. All we will need to experience the real deal of calculated and carefully planned fighting with human opponents is a few servers that will make use of this setting
