Oleg, what about SoW and DLC?

[The Kraken]

Oleg already meantioned that he doesn't want to follow the RoF model with single plane downloads. And it does have the problem that once the more popular models are covered it will get difficult to fund further development.

On the other hand it should be clear that we have to spend more money one way or the other if sim development is to continue. Rising budgets and falling income on a shrinking market don't go well together.

IMHO

There is nothing wrong with the old system in IL2 1946.

Whenever an addon was released everyone bought it (online pilots) and everyone was compatible for online play.

In fact the Western market pilots demanded the release of the Russian PE2 (Peshka) addon be available for them, this arrived in the form of Bootny Box from UBI and caused a lot of "problems" for many.

The latest trend to remove your hard earned cash from your wallets is the DLC mugging system, my kids and their friends pay for new maps, weapons and other "essential" items to continue their endless virtual massacre of the universe and these items run into the hundreds of pounds not just a few quid here or there.

For The new Sim........

Keep the old system it works best for compatibility

S!

With Alpha on this DLC is legalized scamming in some cases and a way forcing players to get that extra thing to game to be an even better "boom headshot" or whatever.
