There are already many mutants in the stock sim!... There are many aircraft that are used as other types with lookalike skins.. For instance the CR-42 is used as the earlier version Cr-32 by many people, The Tempest has been skinned to look like the Typhoon for various late war campaigns, the Kate is used as a 'Battle' by virtue of a fake skin... All of these types are used with their original FM!..
If someone can take those same aircraft and modify them to look more realistic to the aircraft they are trying to portray without any FM change, there is absolutely no harm done.. The same aircraft are being used as another type anyway.. Why is this such a big issue with some people???

First of all, I'm wondering if anyone will even see it online. I think the concern however, is that before long there will be a million different frankenstein aircraft that are just pieced together with no ONE standard. Again, I don't know if it will make a difference if only the person that has the mod can see it. People just don't want things to get out of hand. For instance, taking parts and making them into a F14 lookalike, even though it has a standard IL2 FM. Things like that will kill IL2.
