I think people have jumped to the wrong conclusions regarding exactly what the situation will be. To say it will be 'moddable' in the sense that il-2 has become is wrong.

What 1C are going to do (as I understand it) is provide a set of end-user tools to enable third parties to provide additional (small) maps, vehicles, and new aircraft - but all of this will be to tightly specified standards, and ultimately under 1C / Oleg's control.

It will not in any shape or form allow anyone to modify such deep game features as fire effects, smoke, clouds, AI, etc.

Also, to talk enthusiastically of modding the game when it still has 4 months to go before release is crazy!

And regarding the smoke could I remind people that it is still BETA!

edit: other items to be fixed:
glare from the sun
collision model for the trees
+ probably a few dozen others
