In that sense DT is part of official development too.

Yes. The modders, in my opinion, are the main responsible for the actual situation of the game (here everyone will have its own opinion).
Still there are a great amount of members of the community, that not being modders in the sense I think you mean, have made great contributions to the game and in my opinion deserve support and recognition.

Viikate explained this and I can only repeat that we are open for cooperation but for the most part people chose to make mods instead of official additions because making mods is easier. For example, you can make 3d model that looks great but it is using 15000 polygons. That can be and is often released as mod but is absolutely unacceptable for official release. In such situations most of the people give up.

About where de DT stands I really don’t know, even though I recognize the DT has tried to make it clear.

We are making the patch "officially", we are also responsible for its content, we want to cooperate with Il2 community but any cooperation with "3rd party" contributors must be legally clean. I don't want to be sued because somebody stole 3d model or texture from other game.

I am really looking forward about the 4.10. Somehow I think it would be a great opportunity for the official game staff to recognize the efforts of so many people including the members of the DT.

DT effort is already recognized in 4.09, 4.10 is just a continuation of that work. Oleg is really a great guy, only thing he wanted from the community is little respect, he got it from DT and that's why we are here now,developing Il2 while Oleg works on SOW.
