4.12 development update discussion and feedback

I've always thought we should create characatures of NG planes--really ugly, waddling, nasal-sounding ones. When you fire the guns, the wings fall off.

Maybe possums for nose art....

Folks have suggested implementing facsimiles like "Gormann Revenger" to get around the litigation wall. Unfortunately, that would compromise IL-2's reputation and responsibility to serve as an educational tool.

As far as I am aware, there's nothing stopping other modders from making pits to some of these aircraft. It would be nice if they were of the same consistency and quality as DT's stuff.

Exactly. The best argument for mods is that "crowd-sourced" copyright violations defeat unjust copyright/trademark laws since there are no obvious players or "deep pockets" for the corporate lawyers to take down.

The only problem is that TD is arguably the best modding team out there, so it's hard for other modders to reach their standards.

Not always. DT often work with other individuals and groups in order to get content included in the official release.
