Time now to let TD loose on CloD for bug fixing only! Not for new content? 1c listen?

OK, you are correct that we risk a division by zero which is a big no no in programming I'm not that fond of the divided old IL2 community either so maybe the best solution would be that new planes done with the SDK can only be used online after MG has approved them and added them to official plane set? That would of course imply that they have to release more patches and do some work testing them etc... I remember that they talked a lot about how much work it was in the old IL2 engine when they added community developed planes (before the "hacked" mod versions arrived).

If a user was willing to buy the same modelling tool 1c deveoplers use, to change the Blenheim for example, to add a 4 x 303 mg pod under the aircraft and create a fighter, which he gives to the community to use , and it passes 1C standards, how does this divide the community ? yes, it's 1Cs software, they will need to put their final stamp on any user mods / changes.

If CLOD was a great seller and 1C had a huge team developing CLOD / BOM then we wouldn't need user/developers .. but unfortunately that's not the case. 1c has stated that they have washed their hands of future CLOD development, which some users think is a little hastie ... so why not allow users to add content .. for a fee (maybe?) .. or 1C hires extra developers for user-paid additions (although that could be too expensive)

I would like to see, and willing to pay for/work on, the following;

(1) Blenheim Fighter - start with something easy.
(2) Blenheim short-nose fighter - changed cockpit
(3) flyable defiant - new cockpit and gunner
(4) flyable Wellington - new cockpit, nav, radio, gunners
(5) flyable Beaufighter - new cockpit, nav

BTW, i'm not a skilled programmer, I know 'C' etc but that was along time ago. We users would need some skilled help ..
