I think what he was trying to say is not that realism should be sacrificed for feel but that one must make sure that one gves any simulation a heart as well as a head, you can make a sim that both gives you the accurate systems operation and gives you a sensation of flight, the thrill of a combat mission and the illusion that you really are a combat pilot.
I am a huge fan of the DCS series but I will admit that sometimes I do feel that it can be a bit sterile, interesting in terms of systems modeling but sterile because there is not a lot of feedback from the outside world around the plane, even bullets and missiles that strike the aircraft don't make much noise and instead just make a rather dull thud.
