Yep, you have multiple campaings to choose from for most of the countries.

-Given what I said earlier about CFS (I think its the first one. It advertised Flight Sim 98 during the install), would I even enjoy IL-2? Unfortunately the demo left me with mixed feelings*.
*I'm very much a fighter, and getting objectives like bombing convoys over land isnt entertaining to me. I enjoyed the missions that asked me to shoot down bombers, and dogfight, but unfortunately those are starting to get repetative in location and general predictability.

If the plane was used only as fighter, you only get air-to-air missions. If it was used for bombing or as jabo, you might get ground pounding missions.

-I gather that the campaign is dynamic to a degree, but how much freedeom do I have as a pilot? In Aces, I recall getting varing missions as a fighter pilot from basic patrols, to eliminating air presences and escorting bombers. These missions would get even more variable based on if I was flying for the Navy, Marines, or the Air Force with different planes and destinations. Also, am I free to switch from... say a Corsair to a Dauntless mid-campaign if I so choose?

You choose the plane when you start the campaign, only way to get a new plane type is if the game gives you one. Usually upgraded variant of the one you have atm.
As for mission types, there isnt that much variation. It's the usual, escort, fighter sweep, ground attack, patrol.

Like I said, I'm a bit of an Aces of the Pacific nut, but I wonder if maybe that was just the game addiction of my childhood, or the CFS version I have is just crap. Realsim isnt important, as I usually end up flying with most of the options turned off anyhow

You can play IL2 even if you dont care about realism, I recommend you to get it.
