Thanks for your answer Caspar! I got the point!

Indeed. But in fact some features need their long time development to be working to our standards... like 6DoF.

Well good on TD for that. I appreciate the thorough approach your team takes.

But one lingering question is how much do you learn/take from the modders and develop on your own?

And this matters why? As long as I get exhaust flames

I'd say, its a value of 5:95 %
The 5 % is work from 3rd party, which, if existant before as a mod, had to be reworked partially or completely in cooperation with us.
No mod ever was good or correct enough to be implemented right away. And in most cases, developing a feature on our own has proven to be the best, savest and fastest way.

Thanks for posting an answer. Just to be clear, I just wanted to know how much the modders influenced what was being made officially. Also, since we are getting the long needed "Drop on my command" radio call, is there a plan to modify formations of bombers to be like their real world counter parts?

I think this is worth some investigation.

I'm just really surprised ubi$oft hasn't stepped in and tried to take over on your developments for DLC?

UBI is NOT the developer, why after 10+ years don't people understand that yet.

UBI is merely the publisher for the West.

They have no hand in day to day operations of Maddox Games or IL2 in any way.

We are better off if they just maintain their current "hands off" position reagrding IL2.
