I never saw any official welcome. And I'm sure no financial support either.
1. HL (Hyperlobby), was there before IL2 Stumo v1.0 and was picked up by IL2 users because the UBI servers were useless and ended up dysfunctional almost from day 1 of IL2.
2. Lowengrin's DCG from CFS series was before IL2 v1.0 and developed for IL2. After Starshoy stopped supporting and developing IL2's Ngen and Dgen, Lowengrin filled a gap desperately needed from stock unsupported DCG.
3. Mat Manager was initially a useful program to make the default aircraftmarking look reasonable and enable the Swastika/Hakenkreuz.
it later developed into a bigger program for tweaking the games settings.
So none of these are included as content that required the SFS to be altered just programs that filled the slow failings of IL2 as it evolved and become full of bugs and out of date unsupported code.
I like to see new DT content added, but fixing some of the old stuff first would be nice too
