csThor is it correct to think then that Oleg has accepted to give to third parties the necessary tools and access to the source code to improve it?
Can we then imagine that as it happened with Falcon the source code could be improved by a team of "volounteers" that would do improvements for the community?

No, it is not. Remember how we were told we'd act as kind-of-betatesters for parts of the SoW flightmodel in some 4.0X patch? That alone tells me that the SoW engine will - in parts - be an evolution of the Il-2 engine. So why would Oleg allow for this potential danger for his new baby?

He may not have taken steps to deal with the hacking issue but that is not because he approves of it but because he has his mind on SoW (which is already a long way behind the original schedule).

I'd love to be able to get an answer from the developer himself.

Thanks.

'Guse, have you tried directly emailing Oleg?

I know it may be a fools errand, but hell, it's worth a try.

Thanks for the initial post sir. Well presented.

See you around!

S!

I would like to see that too.... Truth be told.. although I know I am just dreaming.. I would like to see a few things from some of the mods implemented into the last patch as well.. like the default skin thing... that would be great for mission builders if they could skin the static aircraft.. and the way I see it if some on can hack the code and do it then sure the developer could work that into the code...
