tater - I did not respond to it as I am not "in the know" about the mapping tool (= I never saw it) nor do I know (and care) about the way "your" maps are being made. I know
part of the legit process and so I said how things look from my perspective.
Regarding the rest of your post: I do not care for the operations of the "heavies" as my prime area of interest is the eastern front (so I see no need for additional planes). Basically what the Il-2 engine does best (tactical operations in a limited area). It's certainly true that there are no elegant ways of limiting user loadouts - the way SC and FBD do it is rather clumsy IMO but at least they offer the chance. IMO a player has to update himself/herself on the latest "rules and regulations" regarding the maps played on the server. Those who ignore the briefing and complain about kicks because of wrong loadouts or planes do not deserve any sympathy. I'm certainly not in favor of catering to the "most brain-dead users". You want to play? Then RTFM!
