It's silly, in my opinion, that 1C refuses to recognize all the AAA MODders for having saved his IL2 series....throughout 2008-2009 at least, while he dedicated his efforts to other profit-making Games and to SOW:BOB development. This 4.09 patch should have been finalized hand-in-hand with the AAA (UI) MODders...

A smattering of new Eastern front and Italian and Czech planes, and some minor tweaks here and there such as of the QMB, will not induce me to delete all the wonderful AAA-hosted MODs. imho

Would you recognise anyone whole stole something from you ?

You need to read the interview to understand what's going on.

You have a point there Bear. Besides Oleg didn't approach modders. Team Daidalos approached Oleg with this issue and most of the team members are old 3rd party developpers who had already done planes & other content for the previous patches/releases. So in a sense we only tried to continue the old 3rd party dev thing while keeping MG's workload at minimum.

Also I can't see how the nice little hand-in-hand thing with the AAA could have been possible with the "Old AAA". Single post about another team and result would be quick delete & ban. Some of Team Daidalos members were cast out from AAA. I myself was banned until very recently.

However now like the interview said, Team Daidalos is seeking co-operation with any mod makers to include quality work in something that will follow 4.09.
