Thanks for this policy. Over the years I've seen way too much "vaporware" on mod sites, where some enthusiastic young would-be modder gets a copy of GMax or Blender and tries his hand at making some sort of grandiose object like a 4-engined bomber. Usually, these projects die somewhere around the unskinned LoD0 model, once the modder realizes there's far more to making add-ons for IL2 than meets the eye.
Even experienced modders or mod teams can run into problems that result in a project being abandoned, like Oceanic Mod Team's gorgeous, but never released, Boomerang and Whirlwind projects that went off the rails when an earthquake destroyed their files.
TD is very conservative in their policies, but they are very reliable and produce first rate work, and I thank them for it.
