Could 4.10 Update lock the SFS files again and reunite the online community?

It depends on how you define 'modable'. If you think that you will be able to change FM's, sounds etc. - think again. To my understanding - for general public it will be customizable, not modable at all.

Like others stated, Oleg is fully aware what mods did to this game.

I think it will be different to be honest.

Stock content will of course be locked and since SoW will be moddable, there will be less incentive to crack it and a clearer distinction between modder and cheater can be made: if the game has built in mod support and you don't need to crack anything to mod things into the game, it's safe to assume that any cracking done before the core engine's limits are exhausted is coming from malicious intent.
So, it will be easier to separate which is which, something that's very important as a lot of the IL2 mod controversy centered around the possibility of cheating in online play.

Apart from that however, mr Maddox has said many times that he hopes to create a 3rd party industry (freeware and payware) around SoW. So, how are people going to be able to release accurately modelled new flyable plane add-ons, if they can't make custom FM, DM and sounds?

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about so indeed, any more posts are not needed.

There are many things in game that are not only "buggy", but wrong (intentionaly or not) , not only by comparison with the rest content of the game.

For example the pylons in Soviet fighters have Zero, yes 0, weight while the others have 150Kg of weight, even for a small rail.

So doesn't this "bother" you for "on-line" game?

The list is big enough but no need to go off topic.

For some it is easy to miss a forest because of a single tree. Every game will have bugs and mistakes, perfection is not possible. Bigger and more important things seem to elude you. IL2 came a long way from the original version, with all the changes and add-ons, stuff like that are fully understandable.

To answer your question - no, it doesn't bother me. As long as the guy I am shooting out of the sky has the same bug, inconsistency or just plain advantage of the wrongly modeled FM. I am not interested in speculating about the reasons why it is so - I couldn't care less.

Sometimes the trees are so many that obscure the whole forest.

Thanks for revealing your way of thinking. Fortunately everything around us has been evolved because people were not thinking like your way.
So you don't care for a bug-free and accurate modelled sim. All you want is to boost your ego by "shooting out of the sky" someone who suffers the same bugs. Nice way of thinking
Hopefully SOW will differ from this and will be of best quality.

No it does not bother me either. Not even the facts that the Soviet big bombs
have almost 4 times the destructive range of the rest or that the russian guns do 2-3 times more damage comparing with the same caliber guns of the rest.
