I basicly quit flying IL-2 on-line when the mods came out. The mods weren't the main reason, it was just one more nail in the coffin as I was getting bored with the game anyway and ready to move on to SOW.
Out of curiosity I downloaded the unified installer, Canons BOB beta map, and Biggin hill campaign. The mods were interesting, but buggy, as expected from beta's. I'm also very interested in seeing the release of 352'nd BOB map.
I do get a laugh out of some forum members at AAA who declare that the community doesn't need Oleg's team anymore. The people actually doing the modding have even more respect and realize they wouldn't have anything to mod without the developers years of hard work. It seems that the only detractors of Oleg's work are those that couldn't find their @ss with both hands, let alone develop anything themselves.
