How about some more content for CloD

And soon the modders will get their hands busy at creating more free content, like it has always been.

There won't be any more planes added in patches for CloD, luthier has said so himself. Modders? You mean modders as in UP modders? No thank you. I want MG tested additions like it was before modders cracked and flooded il-2 46 with horrid looking models/cockpits (some are nice I admit that).

Listen, the system I want is the pre-hacked il-2 46 system where a 3rd party modeler created a 3D model of a plane and/or cockpit and sent it to Oleg, they checked it at MG to make sure it was all good and then approved it for the next patch on the schedule. That's all I want and I'm willing to pay for add-on planes if it speeds things up because now it's been over a year since CloD was released, how many 3rd party planes do we have so far? nada! and I'll bet another year will pass before we see the first one rolling out in a patch. 1 plane every 2 years? I'll be middle aged (no offense to the elders of the forum) before we have even one complete planeset for only one theater.

Ok, so he said there will be no more aircraft in patches for CoD, as they are working on BoM now - but who is to say this will still be the case a year or two down the hill.

I see your point about aircraft or content being submitted, but only the most dedicated modders will ever see their stuff included officially - that's a fact because not everyone will meet the 'standards' or 'expectations' from 1C or someone like you. On the other hand, I would rather have 10 aircraft from mediocre modders than 2 from a team of guys who meet the requirements.

And simply, if you don't like it then don't download it - besides once those aircraft (3d models) are submitted, FM's and code will need to be written, whereas is these tools were availible to modders in the first place then there is no reason not to expect or look forward to hiqh quality work - especially after what MG sold to us.

Even if 3rd parties sent 3d models to Luthier, these if done by a team or a proffesional should take no longer than a few weeks (Full time which is never the case) and the other FM & Code work required will take forever! Because 1C will alway be working on what they want and any 3rd party work will be of a "low priority".

If 1 plane takes a year to create then why are you asking for DLC? Are you going to pay them before they give you what you want? Otherwise how else is money going to progress content faster, if the people working on it are limited by time...

If there is going to be no more content for CoD in Patches, then why are you even asking for DLC?

Ugh, I don't have the energy for these types of arguments anymore. We have different views at DLC, I give up.

I would not expect any new content for Clod, as there is no money in it. They're more likely to save any new models or maps or features for the release of the ... ehem.. "sequel" since they will be charging. The more it looks like this "sequel" has to offer, the more they will sell.

The same goes for SDK and modders - they will not provide the tools for us to make certain content until they're done charging us for similar content. Why would anyone pay for it when the modders give it away for free?

Err ... because 90% of the "mods" aren't worth the time it takes to open the browser, enter the address, look for the link, download it, install it, check it in-game and then throw it off the HDD again?
