Dumbed down is not the right term, but it will have a controller-friendly UI and shortcuts, with gameplay tailored around 3rd person flying.
How do you want to dial in a frequency on your radio with just a controller or select a SID/STAR on the MCDU of an airliner? I am sure you can connect a mouse and keyboard to the console or even a HOTAS, but the majority of players will likely shy away from that.
Thus I am eager to see what solutions are being offered by Asobo to handle the more complex operations of flying an airplane on the console.
