I like the idea of it scaling up to full simulation. I'd love for the game to teach you to fly and go through the steps of proper radio protocol, vocabulary and so on. It loooks like they might be leveraging their cloud computing to do things like map simulation and perhaps even air traffic control(!) so I'm actually pretty excited about this.
They'll probably let "proper radio protocol" be handled by 3p extensions, that's the general trend of the market. Take a look at services like https://www.pilotedge.net/ for the current gen of simulators.
