Also, for serious simmers - it provides more difficulty. If you were to limit the engine to what many folks would want - then Il2 would only have had Wonder Woman view and padlock.

Lastly - if this were solely a 'Combat flight sim' then how do you explain the inclusion of Su-26?

I wonder if you are familiar with all of the folks that use Il2 for acrobatic teams and racing?

I think I read somewhere that the SU-26 was included in the development (and plane set) of "BoB SoW" because its performance characteristics where well known to the game developers. With "verifiable real life data" the game developers where able to check that the Su-26 performed correctly under the same simulated conditions as they would in the real world...That way they are able to fine tune the atmospheric effects on the flight model...
