- many cockpits are just flat 2D textures which using a trick to look 3D with switches etc basically drawing them as viewed as they would appear from a center position. These look wrong when viewed from a different position.
Simple story is the mod is a good one and works, but the IL2 cockpits are not suitable for 6DOF and people WILL whine about the "bugs" if its released officially without fixing all those cockpits.
Plus its no great problem for people wanting to get 6DOF to install the mod anyway, so why bother.

A good point, and I can live without "official" support for 6DOF. The "mod" support does great.
But the FOV issue NOT. And YES, it's really simple with access to code. I'm "assuming" nothing, I'm tired to change FOV settings in a lot of games, some in configs, and some OLD titles. And this feature isn't up to IL-2 because of nothing. It's just changing some parameter.
All the problem is in the "thin" line about the "standards"... I can read all the fanboyishm over TD, they do a great job... But people don't give customers the right to decide what are most needed and desired.
It's plain wrong. Live with that. If "officially" we have 6DOF as it is right now, in the case someone dislikes the "holes", simply don't use it. IL-2 isn't "Counter-Strike" for mature simmers, we don't cry all over the place about "hacks". With wider FOV, same thing.
Raise the "standards" to not deliver some nice features is wrong to this customer here. And I will not endorse the chorus for "please gimme more free content". I'm just assuming TD have the "official" support by Maddox Games to do improvements in IL-2. Well, a lot of people here I believe uses 6DOF and FOV Changer, but have some illogical afraid to put some points over light.
But if Maddox Games don't give more support for IL-2, don't solve the old widescreen support, why care at all about the talking about "mods" and "official patches"? Are all mods, but some of them gives really new functionalities and others are bounded to "standards"... The "non-standard" crew make IL-2 sell untill today.
