This is very cool stuff, already read about the Mig-21 project at SAS forums.
Personally, from a fanboy perspective, I would love to fly a Mig-21 or F-4 in IL-2 for the eye-candy and speed immersion-but-coming from FreeFalcon5, a jet sim based on Falcon 4.0, where I participated, I do think more or less realistic radar and avionics modelling for 3rd generation jet fighters will be problematic or impossible in IL-2 unless you want to turn the modded aircraft into an arcade plane. It's just a completely different cup of tea. Very complex, if you want it realistic.
However, I have NO idea at all what the IL-2 code can do. And love the classic jets in this sim..
Maybe F-4s/Mig-21s/F-5A/ MirageIIIs etc may form the farest possible era of aircraft possibly included here and still being convincing. Independent of realism implications: The model seen in the first page here looks very decent.
I don't dev, so if someone can convince me, I'd gladly hear that.. :
)
In any case, hats of for those Mig-21 and missile projects at SAS. Really-Kudos.
