S!
I was in belief TD does not get paid or does not pay for this further IL-2 development or the patches would be "pay to get"..or has something changed? Wasn't the agreement between TD and Oleg emphasizing this: FREE. So how does this paid/monetary thing step in here on IL-2, SaQSoN? With all respect.
Modders, on any game, make it for free and do not claim bug free products/additions, but most of them fix mods to their best ability from user feedback. And later can become commercial ones as you stated. Gotta start somewhere
Find it a bit arrogant to state that 95% is crap because statements like that can backfire on your own product as well. I would rather use "quality of varying levels". And again those mods are free and you can freely choose to use or not to use them
IL-2 has "minor glitches" or should we use a term "features" that have been there since 2001 and still not fixed..some never will. TD does good work bringing new stuff to IL-2, that is appreciated by everyone and not bashed. Modders bring too which is also appreciated by many, opposed by some. In my eyes a win-win.
