No apologies needed from what I've seen. As it is, my comment was certainly not aimed at any other poster in this thread specifically, but rather simply input on the topic under discussion.

I agree with you that what ED are trying to do is easier than creating a complete new product from scratch.

I'd also say that whilst making aircraft models as "plug-ins" for an existing envronment and game engine is potentially an excellent business model, it's not without it's dangers...... Some of which are highlighted in posts on this forums regarding the P-51: The plane is great..... But what can you do with it?

ED need to be very careful about how they plan their releases to avoid them ending up with a sim with a whole load of aircraft modelled in the highes detail that have no relation to each other. While flying a Spitfire or P-51 against FW-190's or Bf-109's is immersive, flying them against Su-25's is not no matter how realistic the aircraft model may be.
