Of course no, but I'm really not seeing any relation between YSFlight and IL2:Sturmovik, except both are in "flight simulators" category — those two software are totally different, from hackers point of view.
Also, YSFlight is freeware & partially open-source personal/hobby project, IL2 instead is a commercial product made by big company with a lot of devs specially for selling and marketing.
The relationship to the discussion I've pointed out twice to you. Let's hope a third time helps:
