If they contact DT they can get all sorts of help. I've seen this process at work and it seems to be a very mutually beneficial relationship. There are some high quality MODs out there that I'd love to see become official in a future update... the Me410 for example is high on my list.

This way seems, for me, a little bit obvious. If someoders want want to have mods integrated inside DT stuff, or DT wants to integrate some stuffs from moders, I imagine contacts taken since a long time...
So, if it is not, there are probably good reasons and what I have read here do not open any doors to change something in this situation: few participation from moders and DT has not changed any behavoir with regard to moders...
Moreover, there are alternate choice about mod packages and it seems that this package uses, or will use, same format as native one, so, where is the difference and the fact that a lot of server use these package and not DT release as stand alone.
Choice is not done by a fact that a version is official or not, but by majority of users which are connected.
At to conclude, I imagine that on other web side, all needed helps can be found in multiple areas of moding, since, with regard to number of people involved, it is always possible to found a specialist either this specialist has found methods, utilities, by itself.

Why doesn't DT actively recruit modders whose work impresses them? That is, you contact them and ask if they'd be interested in cooperating. Many of the better modders seem to be very approachable.

Because we do have a real life, too? Means we don't spend our free time browsing various sites, wading through pages upon pages of threads to sift what could fit the bill and what not ... DT is a freetime thingy and not a way of life.

Interesting, where did you get that information? Its quite old stuff.
However, the extern model is incomplete, same as the cockpit, which is almost not worth to list here. It must made from scratch. BTW, to complete your information, Flakwalker had his hand on the cockpit too.

And... its Caspar...


EDIT: Man, this was 2004!!! I feel nostalgic...

Bravissimo,Xilon!

Very good info,do you know exactly what planes where intended for those AC?I know there was going to be the G.50,Re 2000,Ju87T (C?),Me-262T an Arado plane and BF-109T.

And why they can't be included?Aeronaval battles are awesome,european ones would be even better for a change.

If you have two things with the same efforts needed, one displaying real history, the other alternative history, priority goes to the first. If efforts are low for second choise, priority goes there. But this is not the case with the things mentioned here.
