That's like saying: "I got a shiny new car! All it needs is an engine, transmission gear, brake system, electrics, suspension, and a few other minor details."

:grin:

If they fix the base CloD game with the Grail Patch(tm) there is a long list of planes that I would happily pay to fly like in RoF where I have bought all planes and few of them at discount... And I don't even fly RoF ;)

A DLC price list of flyables like this would make me buy them all on day one:

$15 - Wellington
$15 - Westland Whirlwind
$15 - Beaufighter
$10 - Flyable Defiant
$10 - Fairey Battle

Oups, that's more than I will pay for BoM when it gets done :)

I bid 15€ for a flyable Cr.42 and 10€ for a flyable Walrus. I don't care if it will cost more then the BoM expansion, I'm more interested in above mentioned aircraft and I am therefor willing to pay more, it's called supply and demand i.e I'm willing to pay premium for what I consider to be premium. I don't really want an eastern front expansion just yet therefor I wouldn't want to pay more than ooo...maybe 12€ for it. Who cares about what I want though, it's all about catering to the Russian market right?

IMHO the DLC means totally different system (Like RoF). The BoM is a standalone, complete game, which compatible with the previous versions. It contain totally new features, and -of course- DLC like content too.

same thought :grin:

Wellington engine CEM, cocpit 3D, cockpit animations, cockpit sounds, unique equiptments programming, crew positions programming, cameras programming... IF the AI FM is simplified like AI CEM, then complex FM programming... hmm... good luck with the flyable MOD ;)

Airwarfare, run by Gamekeeper from Mission4Today, so I don't really I understand what you want. And apart from missions, paintschemes, what other mods or community created content is there?

As for DLC, it's not gonna happen. It's not the business model for CoD, and asking money for more content won't make it arrive any faster! You are going to get it for free, although feel free to donate to Luthier if you really feel that you 'owe' "them" something.

What will I get for free? New planes? Luthier has already said there will not be any new planes for CloD and BoM will cost money so I'm not sure what you are talking about here.

I want it accessable from the steam workshop instead of having to search for it on various websites.

In patches there will be more content added for free, just like the original IL-2.
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.
