So after browsing the "Airplanes" section of this site. It is obvious that most "good" builds use mods. How can a game that has so many mod users not have a mod list on this site? I mean a real mod list. Not 3 mod related sections that don't have mods. Or if they do they are not easy to find. Also if modding is such a big thing then why not implement steam workshop? I only recently bought this game and have only been browsing the site for 15-20 mins. But it's very clear that some work needs to be done to make this site, and this game, community friendly. Like having a dedicated place for mods. With clear indication of what the mod is. I am interested in using mods just not sure where to get them. Thank you for your time.
@spotnick if you're interested in learning how to xml mod I could give you a rundown on the basics. But that would depend on what platform and OS you're using.
@TheLatentImage Ah my mistake. I guess I'm so used to games using mods haha. So it's mainly editing xml files. Interesting. I'll have to read the forums more. Thanks mate.
Most of the builds on this site are created without mods. Many users do edit the xml files of their designs so as to achieve the desired effect. A lot of users also use the fine tuner/scale tool created by @HellFireKoder. It is quite handy and I reccomend it.
There are some actual mods available, but most of those are game play mods that allow for new sandbox maps, lights, smoke trails, etc.
I don't have links to any of the mods unfortunately. Perhaps some other users will take the opportunity to post some of those links here for you.
