Now i'm sure plenty of people will tell me that what applies in those games doesn't apply in IL2, that IL2 is completely unique and where every other Combat Flight Simulator has been improved by community/third party mods IL2 is being destroyed by it...
But really what is the difference...
IL2 is a Combat Flight Simulator like LOMAC and EECH
It has closed code like Falcon 4.0 and Janes F/A18
It is a world war 2 combat flight simulator like European Air War and Combat Flight Simulator 3
So what exactly sets it so far apart from all of those...

In order to answer that question all you have to do is go online to ASE or HL and see .... just how many people are flying those other sims mentioned that have " been the subject of extensive community and third party modification... " then ask yourself why that is.. and you will have your own answer in a nutshell... It is a shame that it had to be this way.. but it is what it is.
