Just give us another paid add on to IL2

Well, as regards AAA maps, I like what they are doing, but nothing ever seems to get past the beta stage. The only finalised maps are reskins of current maps. There's a Malta map that's been beta for, like, months. The Slot is still beta as well.

Also, if you weren't there from the beginning, it's the devil's own job to figure out what you have to download before you can download before you can download the (beta) file you might want. I think a lot of the initial excitement is dying from the mod scene, as there are relatively few finished projects, and there's no easy entry point for newcomers.

Mmmmm..... do peoples at AAA start to realise that developping new maps with all that it need takes a looooooooong time????

.... Something known since years (since third parties developped new maps... starting with Ian Boys....)

Beta, Alpha, Gamma, Theta...

What difference does it make. I've always viewed beta as a software that is pretty well finished, except the author was reluctant to call it finished. Why, because it might fracture his ego or he might be chastised for announcing a finished product. LOL

Seriously, I've seen software in beta for years.

I suggest not to be picking on anyone at AAA. They are giving you a lot more than any of us could have ever expected and of excellent quality as well.

I luv it beta or zheta....

Not so, The Slot is full release as are several others including the Malta and Italy Africa Greece and campaigns are well underway for them. Reskins are plentiful, as you said but very well done.

I do agree it is tough to find stuff if you are new there, it is tough even if you have been there a long time but there are many finished projects and there is an easy entry point for new users, just gotta look for it.

Still looking forward to SOW/BOB though.

version 1.1 of the slot is out today, it seems.
