And the point here is: IT'S SIMPLE TO DO, if you have access to code and dev support.
Why don't include that? And why the subject is always ignored by TD? I don't understand.
I'm OK if something will cause a big trouble and work to be putted in IL-2, but simples things, it's beyond reason.
In what world better skis on some plane are a priority in a patch and widescreen full support isn't?!?!

Maybe i didn't explain it well enough, so let's go again. The planned features are desirable by everyone. It's the sequence these features are implemented that people disagree about. Again, just because a lot of people feel widescreen support is a priority doesn't mean that all of them feel the same.
EVERYONE wants widescreen support, but some want triggers or radio navigation or the regiane 2000 even more.
What TD does is work on things that are hard to do without official help (like triggers), while adding a few extras that can be done without official help in order to spice things up and add some variety (like the skis).
What we do is decide how badly we need certain features and then install what we need. If 6DOF is more important to me than the gladiator's skis, i will keep flying 4.09+mods, if the skis are more important to me than 6DOF i will go to 4.10 and wait until the 4.10 compatible mod pack is released. Everyone can choose for themselves, everyone is happy.
I still don't understand why you seem to think your opinion carries a bigger validity or represents the majority of the community. What if it doesn't? What if the rest of the community has a totally different opinion than the people you know? The guys here are not arguing with you because they want to disrespect you, they do it because what you say effectively sounds like this: "the features that i thik are a priority and my personal opinions carry a bigger weight than the rest of you". Maybe you don't mean it and it only seems that way due to the way you say it, but that's how it looks like and some people will find it a bit offensive.
I agree with you that for a 10 year old game i wouldn't mind to have a few extra features even with some glitches. What i disagree with is thinking that everyone feels the same way with us, because a lot clearly don't.
I think your main issue is the widescreen FOV support because you say it is prone to freezes. Well, it's not TD's job to fix that, but the guy's who released the widescreen mod. If that guy wants to he can contact TD, tell them how he does it and ask for their help and TD may decide to help him. However, in order for that to happen he would have to work under TD's quality control standards. Correction, not TD's, but Oleg's standards. It's very simple, mr Maddox says "i can help you make mods into official patches, but if you want my help you'll make it in a way i like too". You either agree to this and get his help in return, or you don't agree and do it by yourself.
