I agree, I had my doubts when the demo came out, but now that I've had the full ver for a little while I'm pleased. I've only played it on sim and I think its a totally reasonable approach for a console sim game. In fact while I was never a PC IL-2 player, from the youtube vids I've seen the experience doesn't look very different. Sure we can't control fuel mix, prop pitch, or convergence, but are they really essential? Admittedly the P-51 modeling has issues, which the devs are sorting out, but every other model seems authentic.
As far as DLC goes, aside from the DLC packs for Fallout 3, its almost always a scam, so I don't even worry about it. When the devs release something substantial, like a campaign of 15 missions with a new setting, I'll bite.
