1C: Please release the tools to allow the Community to improve CLIFFS OF DOVER

[philip.ed]

The game is smooth on my laptop at full settings (i7 processor, ATI 6990). But the lack of content bores me.

I don't understand why people in this topic are comparing mods to community tools. The Il-2 mods weren't gifted to the community by the developers. If the developers released tools they would be controlled. That's the difference.

I think that what mod teams did with old IL2 was great (i.e. Command & Control), giving the game more years of life. Anyway I have some doubs about the interest of modders or community in order to improve this game: i.e. only 15 campaigns were upload in Airwarfare in 2.5 years

The amount of people with the knowledge to do it is very small in this community, but trust me in saying we have been improving upon what shipped with IL2COD for a while now with subtle changes. An ATAG mod pack for improvements may very well happen in the future.

I may be sticking my neck out a little, but part of the reason there haven't been too many campaigns put out there could be that 3rd party developers were waiting for the final version (i.e. finished ) before going through the trouble of doing a long or short campaign.Never having built a campaign myself, but it may be more difficult dealing with the CloD interface as well?
Having said that Desastersoft has some excellent py to load campaigns out there now.Campaigns I hasten to add that !C should have included in the first place ,or at least something like them.

There's been a hold up with the beta/final patches that's for sure, it certainly has put a big hold up in a 2 part campaign I've been working on. Every mission had to have several tweaks if not complete rewrites if not scrapped

Huninthesun has released 2 campaigns since final patch, I've released 1.

There are several campaigns done by the Russian community

and I'd hazard an 'educated' guess there are 2 campaigns on the verge of release

Would be good to see a few more people getting involved in mission/campaign building tho

Bolox, I want to thank you for your work. In your opinion are COD's scripting and triggers helping to make better campaigns and missions? Not to mentiion documentation, but how much work/repair/improvement is required by the devs in the FMB to make it even better?

i'd like to release a few campaigns I've been working on, nothing very deep, but the AI needs fixing first. Barrel rolling AI aircraft into the deck not acceptable especially for defiants, which should use bomber tactics.
