Believe me, the "physics" are crap. You can adjust your nose pitch to a desired position and then take your hands of the stick. The pitch will remain the same. Increase/decrease speed...the pitch will remain the same (usually it should change as your wings create more/less lift. In WoV the only thing that will change is you might gain/loose altitude at a certain pitch, but the aircraft will always fly perfectly stable in the same attitude, there is not even an option to trim the aircraft as it is simply unnecessary). Ground effect? No sir, not to be found. Controls getting "soft" when getting too slow and stiffening up when going fast? Nope (or at least I don't remember such thing happening).
If you want rather realistic flight physics you should try Il2. It has the most complex physics that I've seen so far (though I've got to say that I haven't tried a lot of other sims besides it, with the exception of WoV, so I can't comment on Free Falcon or Flight Simulator X etc.)
