Well, as Trooper said in another thread this is a modders forum - that's what it's here for. It's not concerned about the 'purity' and 'reputation' of the online game. Sorry, but that's the case.
Personally, I'd prefer that Ranwers concentrate on just a few easy-to-achieve projects that would find wider acceptance. (The Typhoon is quite ambitious and it's not yet determined whether a good result can be achieved).
If we keep demanding this and that, Ranwers' energies will be dispersed. It's entirely his call, but I feel he (and we) would be better off perfecting just a few projects. Get the standard up - then, look to other things.
Maybe Jolly could set up a section for 'plane mesh modding as he has for map modding? So far, there's only one person here who knows how to do this, and he's still developing his techniques. There's not much evidence that we're going to be deluged with offerings, but the quality might improve more quickly if the art had its own development section - assuming the interest is there. People need to learn more about this and exchange ideas.
