Abstract

This short paper reports about the software process used for the development of CFS2 mods. CFS2 is the latest version of MS Combat Flight Simulator; a mod is a modification of the game that adds new features, fixes existing bugs, or enhances its performance. Mods are not developed by MS; indeed there is a wide community of enthusiastic fans of CFS2 — and smart programmers — that provide free mods through the Internet. This community is a completely anarchic one, but, if we carefully observe it, we discover a repeatable software process. The paper provides an inside report of such process and proposes several discussion issues about the differences between this particular context and the more known industrial one.
