[QUOTE=Bearcat;43751]The mods are not clandestine... they are being done in the open... and as I said.. there may be some not so good stuff in there.. but what I have seen and experienced has been well done and beneficial.. from the toned down dust to the toned down nav lights, the flyable AI AC... The way I see it.. if I could use Pe-8s to simulate B-17s in IL2... which we did.. then using B-25 cockpits for B-17s is not as much of a stretch... and while I still understand how many feel about the way the mods originally came about as I have said from day one.. and it has proven true. These mods are here.. and they aren't going anywhere.
Just for the record... I have tried the mods in case anyone failed to read between the lines.. and I am glad that I waited as long as I did.. I felt that I had to see how all this would pan out before i put my toe in that water... but I have sen no crocks, no fins floating in the water.... no little brown logs and no yellow water... so I jumped in and having tried them I have no regrets. I watched and read at the AAA site for months.. just to see where this was all going... and again.. as I said in this thread.. there has not been rampant cheating .. the sim is not "ruined" and frankly I think that the sim will actually benefit in the long run. There are still new folks coming to UBI every day.

I think, that this game should be opened for modding legally. It would be moneywise too! Lots of people would buy if they could add new maps, buildings, vechiles and yes, even planes to it. What about official "Mod addon" with maptools, 3d converter?
Almost all the new games comes with somekind of possibility to add mods. It is not Filthy, it's progress.
We need open conversation about adding new things to this best flightsim ever. We can make it even better.
PS New maps looks great. Be sure
