imho, the answer is very easy : a fresh set of eyes always helps a LOT
if your a dev then its 100% that you already looking at the game since year(s) before release and you didnt notice many thing becase youre concentrating on the FM for example (maybe because your original job is an aviation engineer
)
currently AAA acts as a big, virtual game designer ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_designer ) , hard to compete with as a single person
so basically limited open source via internet is the way to go for every software in the future, especially games, theres a big movement around this and our il2 mod project could be considered as part of this idea
