S!
I think the bashing of modders should be quitted and talks of "locking up" IL-2. Sit on a branch high up in a tree and saw it off would describe that best
I believe TD and modders talk a lot more "behind the curtain" than in the open as community turns to a zoo if words mod or similar are said out loud
Look at MDF..made by ZUTI. Now coming to an official patch! That is co-operation and improvement of the game. It is damned great to see how much TD does for IL-2.
Regarding the 6DOF..if they are worried by the issues, which I believe are mainly the holes etc. in 3D, those can be solved. Look at AHS on the Bf109, works perfectly with 6DOF. Again modders that have fixed these issues could help TD..win-win again
TD and community both do great work for one and SAME passion: IL-2
My 2 cents..
