I read the subject line of this, and my jaw fell.
I don't often get embroiled with 'popcorn' threads, but to be honest I have to comment on this and say I cannot believe anyone would post this topic!
IL2 was on it's arse when the modders got involved. Years of requests for flyable B-17's, smoke effects, better AI, etc, etc, and all we got from Oleg was we're working on SOW and when we reach a critical point we'll release 4.09.
If you'd posted about how many extras were in 4.09 (compared to 1.2/1.3), I'd have backed you, but seriously how lame a question you have posted!
These guys aren't paid to create these mods, they do it through enthusiasm and dedication to improve for us a flight sim that we know was good, but needed a helping hand to make it great.
I have talked at length with Monguse about 1.2 (and 1.3 to come) and the improvements are immense, as-well as all the new and free models that are being added. This UI is without doubt so-much more important than 4.09, it contains many things (one of which I can't say....but oh-my it's been an issue for YEARS!!) that will bring the game back to the masses of flight sims who want graphics, planes and realism. This Mod is an evolutionary step for this series which is FREE and paid for only in the gratitude we offer back in comments to the guys who spend hours (and 'Guse spends HOURS! as others do), answering questions and tweaking the crap they had to start with, to bring simmers the game they always wanted.
Wait until it comes out, THEN post this question once you have seen and appreciated all the effort that has been put in improving 1.1 and then make a post outlining how disappointed you are at the work they have done for no fiscal gain.
Salute the modders, MP.
