I think the current situation is very good. We have officially produced and tested content being released which we know will always work well. If we want to make some compromises in quality or resource use, we also have the chance to use other, non-official content as well. However, just because i am willing to read documentation to try to make it work and live with the occasional glitch, it doesn't mean that this view is shared by everyone in the community......................................... .....
Well summed up BD.

The restrictions placed on TD means they will never deliver in IL-2 the wider expectations of a 'current Simming community', too much work is involved. That community is served by the modders in the rare circumstances of even being able to blend in TDs work.

Those vehemently anti-mod are trapped between what TD are able to deliver (for the reasons BD gave) and what they may be enjoying in other sims. Their choice.

You only have to look at Hyperlobby to see the extent of interest in the mods and that is a fact of life even Oleg has to live with albeit without his blessing. It would be churlish of him/TD to lock out the modders because of the offence it would cause his future customer base for SoW so the wiser thing is for everyone to just quietly accept the situation, make our choices and wait for SoW. We have the best of both worlds.
