You do have a point about all the 3rd party aircraft. I remember a corsair I enjoyed that was starwars. The darn thing could shoot down enemies at 3,000 meters, fly at 600 knots and all you had to do was half-way target the enemy for kills.
Oleg, did turn up the whole air combat situation a notch with quality standards for online play.
I remember the MSFT Zone as a wild west anything goes online action. All influenced by no quality standards for online play. I gave up on the Zone faster than drinking my first spoonful of Cod liver oil.
Still, I think there are ways to do things... and there are ways to get things done. Certifiable aircraft for online play could probably be handled by some 3rd party group similar to a TD that doesn't actually furnish aircraft, These groups would have a look at your 3rd party aircraft and suggest compliance changes for meeting online compliance standards.
These groups could be advisory to sites like hyperlobby before admitting specific aircraft to participate on their servers.
I'm saying... there are workarounds, but legitimate companies will have to satisfy their own thinking about risk vs. reward to determine just how far they will go.
