The community will get it when black shark is released. ED don't have a say over its future because they'll love it for sure, we can all safely say its a vast improvement over the current model. Gys is being modest.
There was no intention of 'peeving' people off, its for the community and the game.
The benefits are that the model is packaged with the game properly, people needn't ask 'hey, where'd you get that model?' and the author's name goes in the credits and he helps promote a great game by adding additional content to it, and that means a lot to people.
I might be intrusive with this next comment but you yourself Troffmeister are guilty of peeving others off. Your excellent Tupolev model didn't get finished because the community was unable to help you (which was a shame) yet you still went on to make a theatrical tragedy of not being able to release the model and would have to hand it over to a better more appreciative community (namely ArmA). That is your choice and it is fair, but many of your posts make a point of reminding us of our loss over your model so don't accuse others of peeving people off.
