Team Fusion news:
With Friday comes another Team Fusion update, skilfully crafted by Mysticpuma, all taken from a private online dogfight server that ATAG runs for testing. It's looking very nice, including (in a first for a combat flight sim if I'm not mistaken) reflective glints from aircraft canopies that might aid in spotting aircraft at a distance, particularly if they are below you. A realistic and helpful addition to the sim.

However, there is a darker snippet of news to report on, in a recent interview with LOFT on the il2sturmovik forums, this question and answer occurred:
Quote:
7) Now enthusiasts from ATAG themselves correct CloD (copyright for this game belongs to you). Whether any cooperation with this team?
So far none of them have tried to contact with me (or with anyone else from 1C-777) and discuss this possibility. This is a bad sign. They don't respect us. If there is no respect for other people's property, any dialogue is impossible. I hope that this is due only to the fact that this boys don't yet know what they want and what they have done. Therefore, they are shy.

This smells bad to me, of sour grapes because Team Fusion are doing work that 1C-777 don't want to do, and if CloD outperforms BoM because of this then I can see things getting very nasty between 1C-777 and Team Fusion...but I really hope that this isn't the case. We will see, however I do recall Oleg stated early on that he would be very open to modding of CloD, and I see no reason why this should have changed, even though despite what was promised, no modding sdk files were released with the game.
Still, time will tell, in the meantime though, I'm going to hop on to ATAG and hone my aircraft spotting skills.
