Im confused

[TacKY]

So Ive had IL 2 for over a year now and I just found these forums. I want to know if this game is still being patched regularly and is Steam getting updates? Also, is Maddox working on any other games? Where can I find mods for this game too because Ive heard that are other mod campaigns and what not.

Yes, there is a team called TEAM DEADALUS that is working the 4.10 patch for some time, with new maps, flyables, full mission builder features, improved AI, and more.
Hope we see this 4.10 patch this year, there are high chances of that to happen.
Don´t know about Steam.

Yes, its now working on a new series that for the moment is called "Storm Of War", and the first one of the series will be "Battle of Britain".
Almost every friday there screenshots of work in progress of this new sim. Search for friday update from Oleg or Luthier.

Mods are forbidden to be discussed on this forum, because they are based on a cracked version of the code, there for they are illegal.
Search the web and you will find out about them soon enough.

Thanks for the info and is he gonna expand on the dynamic campaign for SoW? Also, Ive seen some of the screens and i hope the damage model isnt like the one from the console version which was pretty bad compared to the PC counterpart which was released 10 years before....

There is not a console version of IL-2. What you are talking about is the game "Birds of Prey" that was made by a completely diferent and independent company using the graphic engine of IL-2.

About the Dynamic Campaign, it was stated that Sow Bob (Storm of War - Battle of Britain) will have a dynamic campaign. We will have to wait and see what dynamic campaign means because there is lot of diferent implementations and definitions of "dynamic campaigns" throughout the history of flight sims.
If you ask me, the best and true "dynamic campaing" would be Falcon 4, for others is Red Baron, and so on, but still that´s a full other motter.

minor correction. afaik birds of prey only obtained the code for aircraft flight modeling from oleg's team, nothing else. (so no grafix etc..). BoP then used one of the more "simple" settings of the flight model as their default. even their "real" settings isnt yet close to the full il2 "realistic" settings.

looking at BoP the scenery looks very console to me, its not at all the same detailed (but now dated) type il2 scenery which looks very different and allows very large maps

[philip.ed]

The reason the WoP/BoP maps are small are because a) it's for an audience who don't want hours of flying but mainly because they are based heavily on aerial shots and so are aimed to be as near to the exact look as the area would have been in WW2. I have heard people say the can follow streets in some of the maps to find their houses or their parents houses.
also I think processing power may be a part of it as well...

Just to clarify, there's a difference between user-made content and modded content. As has been mentioned, discussion of and linking to modded content isn't allowed here. If I understand you correctly though, you might be interested in user-made content that doesn't require and isn't made by hacking the original game.

If you search through these forums - http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/cfrm/f/25910613 which have been around since the first release of IL-2, you might find some links to user made missions, campaigns, aircraft skins, utilities etc.
