Making a small sample should not be very time-consuming then.

Luthier lost many potential customers of the sequel when decided to exclude COOP mode from CloD. MP Add-In sample will allow community programmers to bring COOPs back to CloD without much time spent by the devs. This will bring some of the customers back and make them interested in buying the sequel afterwards.

This would be a really smart move to use community efforts to make more money for 1C and the dev team. I hope Luthier can make it. Maybe the dev team's future depends on it as COOPs made original IL-2 so popular and long-lasting (online wars, etc.).

PS. Community knows how to make single-player Add-ins now but they do not work in MP which was supposed to be fixed in beta according to Naryv. Now only a small sample is needed.

I have asked our programmers, they have no free time for this task now and they can't say when this will be done

We'll try to give a list
