My oppinion is completelly different...
I think that the purpose of the the Su26 is only to demonstrate how close SoW fm are to reality. Since it would be impossible to compare with the few remaining warbirds (which are not equiped (armor load, ammunition load, etc...), as they were during WWI, and which are never flown to the limits... for obvious reasons)
There are much more Su26 pilots that can compare and comments on the SoW Su26 fm... that's the reason (And Oleg gaves some hints in that direction when the Su26 screens were first displayed on ORR).
A secondary reason could be to please those attracted with virtual stunt... but that's certainly not the main reason.
... even in that case, most of the potential players wanting to practice virtual stunt are interested by fm... not by pre-flight check-lists, tower radio or VOR use (that will certainly not be modelled in SoW...) ...
