David,it's hard to see the logic behind your words and their connection with the topic here.
Martin pointed out very well in pure English that DT's objective is not (and never have been) to compete with the mods.

I think here you are missing the boat by some inches... The moding community is competing with you... either by collective "free will" or not. A sign of it? Think how long it took to major mod packs to include 4.09final.

Ghandi had a saying...

First they ignore you... then they fight you... then you win.

Many simmers were against moding at first and passed through the same stages... now is your turn.
You are trying desperately to ignore them but, before you launch the new uber duper patch with triggers and the rest "announced but is not sure it will be included" (the old story) ZUTI's MDS will be far away. And guess what... when triggers do come into view by a royal patch... they will be cannibalized and modified and improved cause this is what "open source is" and this is how a distributed system work.

Then you will fight them... and eventually out of resources...

Like it or not... IL2 is almost open source... intended or not. You have your chance to collaborate and help IL-2 be better in this "brave new world" or... you can try to obstruct the new normal course and turn your back to what IL-2 fans had worked.

And this discussion is on topic as it is trying to establish your exact attitude in regard of moding community and they workings.

Everyone is free to discuss their work elsewhere.
As far as it goes to the topic,this thread is named "Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons" on purpose,I think.

PS:No hard feelings,since some people tend to think that I speak in offensive manner,my pardons to them.It's the way I speak.

What is it, this 'moding community'? What kind of competition do you mean? What is the prize?

He also said 'Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress.' But what does it have to do with anything?

You're wrong, we're trying to get some good mods into the patch alongside our own work.

Zuti is in Daidalos Team FYI.

That depends... what if the authors decide to protect their work? What will these 'improvers' do about it? Can they do anything on their own? I guess they can. And the ones doing it well are helping us out already. Simple as that.

What do you think we're doing actually? (You see it all in black and white mate... read some more Gandhi please.)

Now this is the question. Unfortunately, majority of the 'MODs' won't meet the standarts set for official contents.

Just watched the videos in the SimHQ interview again and I really can't wait for all those features. Thanks a lot for all your hard work TD!

This sounds great!
As looking at some of the stuff being made as mods, like for example a "new" Luftwaffen pilot, that stuff is just terrible! Who ever calls that progress, is dearly needing a set of glasses and a good look at some books!

I would just like to point out that what (we of the) the modding community is doing is illegal, and whether or not maddox games tacitly tollerates it doesn't give us the right to come here and hassle the team of VOLUNTEERS who have been given ACTUAL approval to work with the game.

I don't know where people like Zaelu get their ideas from, but they have no source in reality.

Bad Aim, spot on mate!
