The code for both is the same, hence repairing it for one fixes it for the other. Why is this hard to come to grips with?
Well.. it is hard because just prior to the announcement Luthier stated they were completely re-doing the 3D Graphics and Sound..

So..

There is a slight chance that re-do code may not get applied to CoD if they decide to go full speed on the sequel! Which I would not have any issues with by the way!

That is a very good point! On that note, since most 3D graphics are done using 3rd party software (3DMax, etc) format it would be easy to port all the 3D work done in CoD (externals and cockpits) over to the new and improved (re-done) 3D Graphics

Exactly.. Because your graphics/artiest typically don't write code, and visa versa.. Typically!
