In Olegs first IL-2 game engine everything was mixed together so much that changing one thing caused major bugs, and problems in other code, features etc. Although it made it much harder for modders to hack the code. That isn't applicable this time as the developer is releasing the SDK.

Except, in 5 years these already not so fantastic graphics are going to look really dated. There is no future proofing in technology unless you are satisfied with the outdated, and most simmers are not.
