So Much more Than A Flight Sim?

Well... I have FSX with UK 'real scenery' and the latest 'Ground Environment Europe'. I also have Rof ICE edition which runs easy maxed out on my pc.
None of these are as good IMO.

Am I missing something juicier than CoD in this respect?

Very amusing!
Of course i have two original Il2's, Forgotten Battles and four copies of 1946, two unopened. I also have two different versions of the unmentionables on my HD.
Sorry, forgot that bit.

Yea, its sad that having a so good ground detail, we have not a better way to enjoy it.Or use in missions.
I mean that giving us the posibility of leve the plane and walk and get new veicles could made the game experience much wide.
In example ,we could made especiall mission :
-like flying in a tiger moth to another base and chage to and spitfire in the same mission,
-or star in a car in fornt of a pub in a car and you need to run at the airfield in the middle of a german bombrun, and get sour hurricane to scramble.That would increase the sense of being part in a huge world.
A simplified first person view sistem to walk dont should be very hard to do.
In the last serios DCS a10,after you ejected and land, you can walk with your joystick, and a guy made a mod in with you can use any veicle.Only for fun.
I hope we have some of these features in the future.
I would be happy currently with being able to use antialiasing or a good FFB support.

Certainly is. Real scenery is great at 5000ft or above, but no ground detail at all such as trees, grass etc.

Ground Environment Europe is only a bit nicer than stock scenery, but only really from the air, and nowhere near CoD detail level on the ground.

RoF is a great game but also doesn't have the detail of CoD.

When I get home I'll post some comparative screenshots if you like.

Edit: Second thoughts, just check out the new screenshot threads!

Can't comment on that one Snake. Never tried it. There are plenty of 'discussions' elsewhere regarding that particular incarnation of the Il2 engine!
