Sorry Flanker, that'll be me with the low-end machine! Its terrible. i'm still living in 2002.....Facebook, you say? What is this "Facebook" everyone speaks of.....? i 'm still using Ceefax! Its the thinking man's internet.

Its fantastic that TD still think about my meagre half gig of RAM and integrated graphics- sheesh i'm wincing just typing it

Thanks for the update TD. Good luck!

Why on Earth would you think that? Unless 4.10 comes out with something that renders the mods unusable why would you think that folks who have gotten used to them would stop using them? Some of the things I like in the mods have nothing at all to do with FMs or DMs or aircraft.. like being able to set my own defaults.. and remove the frame from my map.. stuff like that.. but some of these guys who think they have been getting the shaft and feel that one mod pack or another has corrected that... They will continue using mods.. the only thing that will stop that is if there is something in 4.10 that either encapsulates some of the features of some mods or renders a means of flying mod free... Otherwise there will be a 4.10 XYZQ mod pack out within the first week.. by two at the most of it's release.

Not me! I love using the gunpod option on my P.11
Long live the mods!

don't forget that without mods we would not be have the 409M and the next patch 410M patch

LOL, yeah! And without beans we would not have peanuts.
Or different: If the patches are 'Homo Sapiens', then MODs are 'Pan Troglodytes'.

Now lets say it together: "MODs are not the base of 4.09!"


EDIT: Sorry for becoming sarcastic about a pathetic and simply wrong statement. I had otherwise a very fine morning.

Hope you had a good day after all. :) Unfortunately there are always people with little respect and patience for your hard work in your freetime.

I appreciate all the work you're doing at the new patches!

Good luck and looking forward to it.

Since 4.10 will include MDS features and some new aircraft, there is no need for more "doubtfull" perfomance aircraft and weapons since DMs in IL2 do not allow real weapons effects. And all that special effects that kills FPS. Ok, some argue that stock performances are doubtfull. Doubtfull for doubtfull I prefer oficial doubtfullness.

For future is a need an upgrade in IL2 DM model.

Ever lasting respect to the whole team of TD, you ask nothing of us, still you give us a full patch with extremely enjoyable content which is the reason I keep playing IL2 what ever happend in the last years, including other game releases and so on. Eagerly awaiting the new patch!

My impression is there is a huge number of players out there downloading these patches that have never heard of or simply are not interested in mods.

For example 4.09 official on Mission 4 Today has 22,000 downloads and its only one of many mirrors. The largest "mod" download at M4T is mission mate with 10,000 downloads.

Mission4today isn't exactly a centre of modding, with only 5 mods available.

Also, mission mate has 10,000 downloads from 13,000 views. The forum topic for downloading the latest version of one of the biggest modpacks has 115,000 views, which would indicate around 90,000 downloads if the proportion of views to downloads is similar.
