The Il-2 series does the Battle of Britain and looks absolutely stunning!

And, it's available for pre-order on Steam with a release date of 31st March (in Europe, I think the US might be mid-April): http://store.steampowered.com/app/63970/
Here's a good interview which reveals several details about the game: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/02/08/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover-interview-we-talk-to-oleg-maddox-and-ilya-shevchenko/
And here's a ton of screenshots: http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g260/restranger/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ32
The only downside seems to be the limited number of flyable aircraft although they seem to cover most of the BoB planes:
Blenhiem MkIV
Hurricane (3 versions of MkI)
Spitfire (MkI early/MkIa/MkIb/MkII)
Tiger Moth
Bf109E-3 (possibly E-1 also)
Bf110
Ju-87
Ju-88
He-111
G.50
Br.20 M
Cierva C.30 (Autogyro)
Su-26 (modern aerobatics plane, Oleg was lead designer on this aircraft)
Non-flyables,
Anson
Beaufighter
Defiant
Gladiator
Sunderland
Walrus
Wellington
Bf108
Do-17
Do-215
He-59
He-115
