I would never consider any type of expansion, with a flight sim that has a core model set that is totally fraked up...
IMHO
You guys that are making COD could accomplish so much if you tried..... but it seems you are sabotaging your own work...

The devs have acknowledged that
MOST aircraft do not have correct performance above about 21k feet. This is a limitation of the current atmospheric model. I have noticed too that above about 17k feet they feel a bit sluggish.
I'll see if I can find the post for you.
Here you go.. this was from the last Alpha DX10 patch notes. As you can see its a known limitation of the current atmospheric model that requires a major rewrite, which
may appear with the sequel at some point.

Unfortunately some deeply-set limitations in the engine code do not allow us to minimize the margin of error at altitudes about 7 km (21,000 ft) where most aircraft begin to perform worse than their real-life counterparts. Fixing this requires more extensive code rework and will therefore only appear with the upcoming sequel. However at lower altitudes most flyables will perform much closer to real life. We also have to note that some aircraft, most notably Spitfire Mk.II, had better performance than the real thing. Others, especially their engines, had reduced performance. We've addressed these serious issues and made our planes fly much closer to the real thing.
