I've just observed things until now, but hello.
A statement of intent in a sticky may be a little helpful in cooling off the attitude against mods in IL2. But there is ultimately very little that can be done, the most effective I feel is modding to improve the game and showing by example how much mods can improve a game. There will eventually be cheaters, it happens in all games, but allowing mods has always kept games alive and brought in more players.
Maddox games has always been slow to implement new things and dead set against some content (for legal reasons in PF and their tastes) modding frees that. With map modding, how long will it be before we will be able to fly over the solomons or aleutians? or any other area not represented? the possibilities are endless, we could have a spanish civil war mod with actual spanish terrain, air forces and all.
I'd similarly lost interest in IL2 a while ago and with mods I'm into it again. So glad to be able to fly the moranes and hawk for the finnish, and use her at pearl harbor.
One thing thats not quite clear, its good to see a stance against FM and DM changing. But what of new planes or historical variants of others? (ex making a P-40F, Or a boomerang for the aussies
