Why CloD is NOT finished- the answer! ;)

Thats the important bit and the bit where it will get stuck and sink.

I'm ready to add content, willing (even to pay) and able .. all I need to be shown how to add new aircraft .. how to fix bugs .. fix faulty AI .. given blessing from 1C to do such.

CLOD is a new high detailed flight sim, of course it has potential, as long as the owners don't downgrade it to work on 8088s..

The new content will come with the next installment in the series.

I would not expect the SDK any time soon, and the source code, never, unless you are a hacker.

I suspect the pressure for release of the next iteration is pretty high from the financial backers, so don't count on the dev team pulling people off BoM development to push out an SDK.

We are just going to have to wait to have this theater fleshed out to any greater extent. Once the next title is out and established, then I would think things will open up for community content additions beyond mission building.

Just my opinion.

Unless things change with the announcement, they plan to release the map SDK with the Sequel. People have been calling the sim dead for atleast five years and they have been wrong for five years. They may eventually be right, but who cares. In the meantime the development continues, and as long as it continues, there will be new content from the community and devs, that could easily go far beyond what we had with the original series, which was the whole point in the venture in the first place.
