I would hardly call DCS: Blackshark a small release. It is the single best flight sim on the market. And we have SoW, Rise of Flight, and DCS: A-10 coming in the near future. But that's beside the point.
The point is none of these sims could ever be directly ported to the consoles. It's nice that you were able to play IL-2 with an Xbox controller but you still had to use the keyboard, didn't you?
On full real in IL-2 you have control over Prop pitch, superchargers, fuel mix, radiators, trim, airbrakes, and even magnetos. Of course all these functions cannot fit on an ordinary console controller. So that means that either they wont be modeled in BoP, or they will all be automatic. Neither of which is realistic. And that's just one example of how vastly different BoP will be from IL-2.
