In one word: procedure complexity. Flying in falcon is children's play (as is in IL2). Planning and calculating a more or less correct flightplan, bringing a complex simulated airliner to life, programming the FMC, landing by hand under emergncy conditions - that is something totally different, and Falcon cannot compete in these regards. The shining sides of Falcon are the complex sensor simulation, the campaign and the immersive environment you fly in. Even flying a small sports plane with correct realistic procedures as in reality is not as easy as it sounds if you really try to meet standards of reality. and like the editor of simHQ just wrote in his re-review of Traffic 2005 for FS just days ago, what you get in military sims is a guess, a fantasy - not much people around here that can compare the sim to the real thing. That is different with civilian flight sims - there are quite some RWP around (real world pilots) who can judge wether the sim meets reality, or not, and what the differences are.
But when I arrive back at Tegel or Tempelhof at sunset, and the airport scenery is lit everywhere, and the cockpit shines in gloomy orange spotlights, I'm almost getting sentimental!
