You do have a very strong point there, SaQson. All the material should at least fit the minimum quality standard. The nice B24 cockpit is pleasing to see but horrible when you switch on the instrument lights. The B17 cockpit has a lot of the textures missing. Most four-engined planes have and no (working) gauges for engines 3 & 4, a lot of gunner positions are borrowed from the B25, etc.

And of course NG related stuff is always out of the question.

Amazing what people read when they genuinely want to believe someone's out for their fur. Gotta love that paranoia.

Look, I don't give a damn about what you do in your freetime. But it was you who read a lot of things into SaQSon's statement, none of which are real except in your overly active imagination (although I know where the thought comes from - and I find that highly amusing). All he did was to outline (again) the basic rules for cooperation with TD, which have been there since TD became active BTW, except that he didn't bother with diplomacy. But that should not surprise anyone.

Le0ne, frankly I really do not believe, I give a sh.t about you, or Hades (whomever that is) or your lame opinions.

That was clearly a personal oppinion of SaQSon.

EDIT: A typical one.

I am for honesty and truth. Even if it hurts.

The truth is that, all the available IL-2 ModPacks give an unfinished/experimental/buggy/hobby/arcade feeling to IL-2. And this becomes more apparent the more you play them.

There isn't a single ModPack out there, that is conservative, that acts "like" an official patch. Improving/adding only what is really needed and only with very HQ stuff.

Instead all the ModPacks have loads of unnecessary changes that mess up the game and destroy the good old IL-2 feeling that we are all used to, while also introducing rookie bugs and incompatibilities.

I think that if there was a more serious patch-like-modpack, the situation would be better. But there is not.

However, I must tell the truth, there is some great and very polished mod content out there, that is a shame it is not official. But imo they are the exception and minority.

Because, a) there are lots of stuff still left out for the WWII; b) no one yet did a good enough (at least, comparable to the existing WWII subjects) simulation for the jet engines and avionics, sub- and supersonic FM, helicopter FM and so on. Who's going to do that? DT? Doubt it. Plus, how many planes for this era available ATM? One or two? What about ground units for the period? And so on. Without all that the 1956-66 planes are out of place in the IL-2 game.

Same questions, as above, plus there is already ROF, which is much better, then anything, modders or DT can suggest in this area.

This place is already hot. Just a few minutes after birth already 41 post. Better have thick skin.
