When?

Honestly I think that once SoW is released 3rd party developers rather tend to use the option to model planes for this game, rather than sticking to a 10 year old engine. IL2 has many possibilities, but most of them are really scratching the edge and like the multi-engined planes need a lot of scripting to keep them flying.

With a more modular and realistic engine that allows to model custom planes like SoW I doubt many people will try to make a fortune out of IL2.
