I love the MDS it's about the coolest thing that has been incorporated into IL-2 but there are some instances of odd behavior when you use it compounded by how much stuff you have programmed into it (vehicles, planes etc) I've learned new Mission Building techniques as a result of it but I'd be willing to wait till 4.11 for a bug free version of it in exchange for triggers (aircraft scrambling because you overflew an enemy base). Even as great as some of the user made content is, and the squashing of the idea that it would be bad (mods) it is proving problematic to have so many different groups working in different communities separate from each other and then trying to make all these different things come together after the fact. Perhaps it was the impetus for Oleg allowing DT to continue. I mean there were things the community wanted but for legal reasons couldn't be done by 1C but the community can really just thumb their noses at *cough*Grumman*cough* and not much can be done to stop them. But on the other hand it's not bringing all of it together under one house that's killing it for me and though I might play with it, incompatibility is taking all the fun out of it. I will always have Il-2 installed but SOW is probably going to take a lot of my time over it eventually and I sure hope Oleg takes to heart that all the stuff that has been done to his venerable sim has been like showing some love to an old car that has been restored and repainted and proudly paraded around.
