..any way we can have them come over to us, too?  As the original 
authors of their own code, art and models, they are legally able 
to dual-license their own work in IL-2 Sturmovik, under both the 
IL-2 Sturmovik license (EULA?), and, under the GPL which we use 
in FlightGear, which again means each IL-2 author is able to 
join the FlightGear community with his (or her) own work, 
without having to leave the IL-2 Sturmovik community. :o)

..welcome aboard. ;o)
