MODS discussion is the correct section here, i believe (or possibly spray and pray);

there's nothing to stop you going right ahead and posting requests. Feel free.

Some people simply find it a bit rude to keep putting up various requests for various aircraft given that it takes a lot of time and effort to even create the basic model and then you have skins and FM and Damage Model and damage textures and weapons and sounds and... etc etc, especially if you're simply asking for an aircraft and not really able or willing to help (or try yourself).

Some modders also find it slightly annoying when they get multiple "build this, i want to fly it!" requests for pretty much the same reasons. And of course since there are not many people with the skills to mod properly, most have many mod projects going at once. These mods are made at the good will of modders and in thier own time while they deal with life on top of it all; they then release the mods for free to the community. Sometimes the requests they get make them feel that people are either taking the modders for granted (especially if the request takes the line of "i think these planes should be in the game") or don't really understand just how much effort goes into even a relatively well documented aircraft with an abundance of sources to give info and make the plane accurate.

You're welcome to request and if you're polite and don't make repeated or difficult requests you shouldn't get any hostility at all. Of course, modders tend to do the stuff that interests them -- you can air the idea of yours, but whether it'll get further than your request thread depends on the modders...
