What is it, this 'moding community'? What kind of competition do you mean? What is the prize?

You're wrong, we're trying to get some good mods into the patch alongside our own work.

That depends... what if the authors decide to protect their work? What will these 'improvers' do about it? Can they do anything on their own? I guess they can. And the ones doing it well are helping us out already. Simple as that.

What do you think we're doing actually? (You see it all in black and white mate... read some more Gandhi please.)

Now this is the question. Unfortunately, majority of the 'MODs' won't meet the standarts set for official contents.

Just watched the videos in the SimHQ interview again and I really can't wait for all those features. Thanks a lot for all your hard work TD!

This sounds great!
As looking at some of the stuff being made as mods, like for example a "new" Luftwaffen pilot, that stuff is just terrible! Who ever calls that progress, is dearly needing a set of glasses and a good look at some books!

I would just like to point out that what (we of the) the modding community is doing is illegal, and whether or not maddox games tacitly tollerates it doesn't give us the right to come here and hassle the team of VOLUNTEERS who have been given ACTUAL approval to work with the game.

I don't know where people like Zaelu get their ideas from, but they have no source in reality.

Bad Aim, spot on mate!
