As we know, there are a lot of talented modders out there who have been developing new planes, maps and other content for the sim. However as pointed out by TD, some of these do not adhere to the standard used for other content currently in-game (e.g. polygon counts, FM)
My questions are:
1) Is there a set of published 'specs' for modders to follow for developing new content? (plane, map, FX, sound, etc.)
2) Is there an established process for modders to submit their content to TD for assessment to be included in official patch? Normally, a spec sheet would accompany the submitted content with key info (e.g. polygon count) to reflect compliance with standard specs.
This way the community can benefit from the products of the creative energy from modders, and TD can maintain control on the quality of content going into official patches, while TD members can focus on core improvement areas in their plan.
Quite possibly such process is already in place but then I do not have visibility into the inner workings of the patch development process. Just curious.
Cheers,
