What is going to make this fun for you?

Whilst waiting for the 'patch' I downloaded the Spitfire in the Microsoft Flight Sim. The graphics are nothing compared to CoD, and there is no shoot em up bang bangs, but how cool was it to get the thing airborne, using every button and knob in the cockpit. Maintaining temp etc was also cool and got me thinking how awesome it would be to have the same CEM in CoD.
It was a bit of work learning it but it was heaps of fun. I can imagine that in a dog fight you would be doing a fair bit of work so you don't over heat the engine. So I'm guessing I'm looking for full real, moving completely away from any resemblance to an arcade game.
