Currently the feeling is that the 100% of the team is working on the sequel, and IF and WHEN they have time at the end of the week before going home for the weekend, they spend 30 mins on fixing some things for CLOD.

Its important to understand somethnig you obviously are missing.. They ARE working on CLOD by doing the work on the engine they are doing now. CLOD and whatever their next project is ARE the same thing.. what you see is just artwork.. The cockpits, the exterior models, the maps.. thats all art that is assigned to certain objects in game. The game ENGINE is what they are working on and any fixes they find benefit BOTH the old and the new.
CLOD and any future projects ARE based on the same foundation and changes to the foundation effect any and all projects based on it. When you hire a 3D artist and you assign him to build things and he is finished, you assign him more things to build.. its what he does and every day he is not doing 3D you are paying him for nothing 3D art when done its DONE. They could add the Lagg3 to CLOD if they wanted.. its just assigning it an bject slot and attaching the appropriate calls to the 3D models and FM's etc.
Building new planes and FM's is not slowing the development of CLOD, its effectively using the people you hired to produce content. 3D artists in general are not doing code work, they aren't working on network code.. they do 3D art work..
You seem to be looking at CLOD as if it is some finite object. It is not. Its a modular game engine and it just as easily could have been the ETO or Moscow or the Pacific. The eye candy can be changed very easily.. the core operating code is what makes it good or bad and that is shared.
