Arrow (again :) ):: I thought more about this, paying better attention I hope. I assume your I-L2 is clean finetuned running sim now without any mods. The mods exist "out there" somewhere else. Mods don't hurt your IL-2. It seems like you made a logic error here, but I don't think so. Instead, you may be thinking of something that we don't know about. For example...

Reading between your lines -- If you are, in your mind, narrowing your point with respect to modding and anonymous public servers, but not telling us this, then we must find out before we can have a discussion (if this is the case). I can see how modding might hurt anonymous public servers, especially innocent Newbies to the sim before they find a private server.

You misunderstand.. thats not what I mean... I may have not been clear... What I meant was not that Oleg should incorporate the mods into patches.. but that he should get involved now that the paste is out of the tube to make the process more..... stable. Since he knows the code..

You mean modding tools? That would be dreamy but then, honestly, Oleg needs BoB And Beyond more than bread and FB mods. Focus on the Beyond part. The faster Oleg pushes out BoB, the faster we get P-51Dora in Beyond.

I guess I misunderstood...

I thought that because you where responding to something I said, that in some way you where responding to something I wrote (?)... :)

I guess you where reacting to the way I characterized the attitude/talk on the AAA forum (sorry but thats the attitude I see their a lot of the time)... I think that they are far more demanding and critical of Oleg and his team then they are of the people who contribute game modifications...

I was really hoping to have a 1C answer by now. :\

We are all 1C now http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Smileys/00.gif

The silence is telling enough don't you think? If MG can not bring themselves to comment, here on their own forums, I suspect they are well past caring. When the Lerche appeared in the planelist, I took that as the signal that Oleg Maddox no longer personally endorsed the Il-2 series.

Can't agree more.

Remembering the times when one couldn't ask for a plane with good data info coverage, good pics, but if some detail was lacking it couldn't make in.

Just as with the updates, people never get the answers they want to get.

The silence should really be answer enough for now, as are the many people stating why it's impossible or at least highly doubtable, that Oleg would officially accept the mods or even officially support them with tools (that is really the most unlikely thing to happen in all this debate, IMHO)

Let's also not forget that this choice is not up to Oleg alone, but also to 1C and UBI. And considering the history of Falcon4 I have absolutely no doubt, that they'll ever give their okay.

Ermmm ???
