In fact we rather rely on players, namely mission- and campaign builders. We know there are lots out there and as this doesn't require any more equipment than the game itself, we think, its better to save our limited ressources for different topics.

Yes, I agree with this approach, from what I understand TD is a small specialty group for improving the core mechanics of the sim, and players are provided with the tools (i.e FMB, skins etc.) for making content. That being said I need to do some research before beginning to make a campaign.

That's what takes me longer than building the campaigns often... it's doing the research to make it an accurate and fun campaign.

+1 on SCW. We have the I-15, older model I-16s, early SB-2 and the R-5. All that we need are two-four Axis aircraft and two-three esoterics (ie. export aircraft that served in SCW but not WWII) and a map!

One of the real limitations of the Il-2 releases is that they lacked small campaigns or missions for aircraft introduced in patches (and often in new versions of the game).

IMHO, it would be great if we had a second team pulling together high-quality missions featuring the new aircraft that could be released as an addition download.

If need be such a team could work one tier behind using the publicly released patch (as opposed to the betas). I think it would add a lot if a 4.09 mission pack was being built to coincide with the release of 4.10.

Almost all my skinning over the years has been 1930's aircraft

More SCW would be awesome.

Sounds like something that a team of mission builders could be working on if they were to organize. Or it can happen in a disorganized fashion as well. I know quite a bit of the 4.09 content has already been used. Surely that will happen a few months after 4.10 is out as well. I was personally thinking about a short Hs129 campaign.

That's great to hear. As you say, there's plenty of talented and dedicated campaign builders in the community. Keeping your focus on stuff that only TD can do makes sense 100%.
