I'm with Krt_bong on this one, online maps and land objects are most welcomed , but i hope planes remain an exclusive of the development team.
However i fully support the inclusion of 3rd party plane that have to get trought Oleg's approval, I think we already have quite many of them in il-2, and they are top quality.

I'm with you on this, partially. My believe is that the community will be best of to collect money and hire 3rd party freelancers to build the planes they are looking for to have in game and that 1C won't consider, for whatever reason. The freelancers are good at their job as it is their profession, so we and Oleg only get top quality. A win win for all.

Of course, 1C must realize that they need to have a number of their guys on standby to get these contributions into the game asap. Cause if we collect like 3000$ to have a B-17 build 100% to 1Cs specs, I am not going to wait a year or so for its implementation.

One of the biggest problems with 3rd party developments for Il2 was that only Maddox Games could put the model into the engine, so many issues and errors could only be discovered by them. Apparently this caused lots of delays and additional work for both sides. We don't know yet how open CoD will be, but ideally people should be able to fine-tune their models themselves and check them in the game.

I can imagine that any 3rd party tools/APIs have rather low priority at the moment, so I don't expect to that with the release already.

Oleg will either produce or authenticate aircraft for BOB COD.

The ONLINE game is dependent up authentication by someone like the developer only.

Otherwise, the online game will be like the ZONE. A collaboration of insanity.
