Not really....don't forget there is an SDK to come.

Which I assume 3rd parties will use to make aircraft that we can buy. It's not exactly the RoF model, but it's pretty close.

Appart from the 3rd parties that release mods for free.....like all the mods for IL2, thats the great thing about a modding community.....they do it for free.

I'm sure that some stuff will be free. But these new aircraft models are pretty complex. I think people who produce them are going to want to be paid.

Not necessarily......moding something from scratch has always been alot of work but people still did it for free.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of free stuff. But if I can get a modder to produce 2 planes in 6 months instead of 1 by paying them, I think it's worth paying them.

Then I guess there will be something for everyone......I don't see where the debate is?

The blind faith in "once the SDK comes the modders will do their part" is kinda amusing.

not so much blind faith.....once there is an SDK then modders 'WILL' mod whether they charge or do it for free.

The blind faith in "once the SDK comes the modders will do their part" is kinda amusing. The complexity of objects in CloD is considerably higher than in 1946 and even there the overwhelming majority of the modded objects did not fulfill the specifications (i.e. lack of shadow models, incomplete LODs, way-beyond-the-scales number of polys etc etc). Sorry, but for miracles you better refer to BenedictXVI(at)vatican.va ...
