So if/when the SDK gets released, what realistically can users of it make?

Don't forget, FSX not a combat simulator. When the microsoft did the same thing with CFS, the custom made UFO planes ruined the whole game.

The individual, little modifications did not spread in the Il-2. There was a stock version, and an accepted, popular mod-packet (Ultrapack). I would not be surprised if the CloD would follow this.

Opposite this, the unique modifications much spread in the Arma for example, although two versions run there in its big majority on the server: official stock game, and unofficial packet (ACE). But its FPS, there are huge differences between the mod-gameplays.

yes but remember that the single mods (like airplanes) are still made by single little groups of peoples... then introduced in the modpack after.
For example when our site released the swordfish the firsts two days the server stopped the downloads for too many connections...and was not a pack, was a single airplane to install.
The problem is: -if and how there will be a control from producers on the introductions of the mods-.

I belive it, the Swordfish is a famous, legendary plane. But observable the tendency. The people who fly mostly online, do not like the unique, little modifications. You may not choose between the components already in the newest UP3.0, only on/off.

/off: I noticed this once, the English aircrafts were neglected throughout somehow it under il-2. Swordfish, Defiant, Wellington, Lancaster, Halifax, Sunderland, ect. I don't know what may be its reason. Maybe the night-raids, and naval wars were not achievable...

Actually, i think it will be pretty much like other modded games on Steam:

1) each server has a list of allowed mods
2) each user has his own list of installed mods
3) when we join a server it compares what we have with what it allows
4) we can join all servers with a single installation.

I think it's probably the reason they went with steam (it can differentiate between mods and cheats on a single installation). I'm not very much a fan of steam (i would prefer it to be optional or only needed for multiplayer), but the capabilities for mod control are good.

As for the British aircraft, i always felt the same Tom. I want to fly Swordfish in the evacuation of Dunkirk (they did fly there of all places, bombing advancing enemy troops and even taking on bombers in some cases), Blenheims in reconnaissance missions, Mosquitoes on pathfinder night raids and hunt for U-boats with coastal command. Well, we might be able to see such things in the new series, it will be a blast

I really hope that they will enhance the interface to read the instruments values, switches ... by 3rd party apps to that I can adapt iCockpit to CoD

Agreed

I'm just hoping that we can eventually get some of the stuff that was in the works back in 08.

This and this
