Opinions aside try reading the user agreement you had to click “I agree” to install the game.
It specifically states you may not edit or change any file in the game. It further states they (UBI) own every file in the game.
Technically that means only someone that has been given permission by UBI soft (X-1/Comabt Planes) can edit, change or make an add on.

However, and this is IMO, the fact they left the game open to edit when they could have locked it indicates they were encouraging freeware modders to make improvements for prolonging the interest therefore increasing revenue as well as being able to claim ownership by the user agreement over such mods for any future use.

Well all of that is opinion (except the user agreement we agreed to, that is in writing) and it really would have been nice if UBI had stepped in and stated what could or could not be done with approved add ons even if it was not what we wanted at least we would have had something known as compared to SW and no comment from UBI and us never having anything but a constant argument that has no definitive conclusion.

Answer, Nada, Nothing , we don’t know and it seems likely UBI will never comment so we might never know.
