Some guys are easily satisfied, aren't they?
Reality check guys: lets call it a SIM when the basic flight model,damage model and pilot model works, and when it actually SIMULATES something ... you know... something REAL?
Until then, ANY flight game can be nothing other than a fantasy program. It might be a very good fantasy program: it might have very good visuals or very nice features, but it no more simulates WW2 air combat than the board game 'Battleship' simulates modern naval warfare.
