The Future Of CFS2,

yearly update

Hi folks; I have been in and out of CFS2 for many years; have created a plane and scenery and missions; what I said several years ago was that I would love to see a yearly update compilation, where a select group of the best of the best CFS2 developers knocked together a nice package of planes, scenery and missions into a consolidated update with a release date; then we could all install it simply and quickly, and we could all be experiencing the same update package and sharing our experiences together. It need not be all new, but could be a compilation of the best in a given theater, and organized so that an install would be a simple and fool-proof process. if this idea got going, then future releases could be in an organized manner, focussing on theatres, etc; team members could work on projects in a more organized way.
As a user I tend to get immersed in the individual updates themselves, and doing my own tweaking, with little reference to the outside community. [Of course, the other side of the argument is that it is better this way, with each of us doing our own thing and sharing as we are able.]

the other thing that I would love to see would be an interactive bulletin board type of interface where the collective knowledge and wisdom about working with CFS2 could be gathered and expanded--in fact a WIKI type of environment. So much that is valuable is hidden in the threads; but if it could be recorded in a structured manner . . .
I still think that CFS2 is the best we have for now and the future, lets focus in a way that makes it more enriching for all of us together.
Best to all!!

PS a big air show in Hamilton Ontario on June 18, focussing on WWII craft.
 
I agree with what Talon said. Also CFS2 has come a LONG way. Sure it doesn't have some of the nice graphics or features of IL-2, but the excelent quality of addons created by this community make this in my opinion the best WWII flight sim out there. I still plan on flying this sim for years to come. If people are really seriouse about wanting to add new features to CFS2 they should look into way to do it.
 
Suppose . . .

. . . a new combat flight simulator came along. Can you imagine how detailed and inclusive it would have to be to be as good as what CFS2 has become. And, if it were not so detailed and inclusive, how long do you suppose it would take all of the combat flight simulator developers to modify it so that it were? Could this be why a new one has not come along from Microsoft?
