DLC Aircraft Addons?

[Tavingon]

Anyone up for this? Even if its already an AI plane, would be neat to fly

[skouras]

i would like to see ready this sim before see another aircraft
i get my favorite fighter E4
So no worries for me..

If they want to release some free DLC, then fine.

But if they expect users to pay on a per-aircraft basis a la RoF then they'd better demonstrate a much better validation process for the flight models than we're currently seeing.

No more aircraft flying with no wings.

But if they plan to release an SDK for plane making then this all becomes somewhat irrelevant, who is going to 'buy' a plane that is availlable for free because of a modding community.......I make the assumption that community mods will be free.

Well, the day the third party developers do aircraft of the visual quality of the original CoD models with all moving meters and levers etc I guess they will not be free Look at FSX, the good stuff costs the same amount as the base CoD game... And then you can't even shoot something down and there are no multi level damage models etc?

I wouldnt say no to DLC planes, look at rise of flight, there not exspensive, and they make nice addons

The sooner the dev's begin releasing the SDK's (map making, plane making etc) the faster COD will develop. This development can occur simultaneously with the dev's improving the game core.

I wonder how this plane making is going to work out. Will we see everyone's personal interpretation of Spit performance?

I really have some concerns if planes and particularly FMs and DMs will be tweaked by users in the future. Particularly when releasing a tool that is helping to do it.

What will happen is the same as in IL2. Each server will have their version of their planeset. The modded planes evolving in an erratic way because someone decided that it needs more tweaking. I dunno how this is going to end up.

I don't mind modders to make new maps or objects whose performance does not impact the gameplay as much as planes, guns, vehicles, etc.

BTT: I am also more in favour of the package coming with an addon.

Come on, the RoF scheme gets really annoying. Now they sell field mods for each plane ... What's next? Paying for each screw?

well, in 1946 some planes, hurricane as example, are still flyable with that level of damage. its a good picture and lucky, really god pilot, who still landed the bird.
