`Oh please ... give your big mouth a rest , not only do you have no idea what your talking about or who your talking to but going for one joy ride and a spectating at airshows dose not make you an expert on jack but what you clearly are is just another arrogant anorak at 1c , now run along to wiki little man and prepare your retort. :rolleyes:

I for one truly hope that the amazing efforts by jafa and tiger to improve the sounds in IL2 will become in some form, part of an official update by TD. Then, I'm sure certain whiners will be posting here telling us what a great improvement to the sim it's inclusion has been.

Why do you come to advertise your mods in thread called “QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons”. Was your post intended as a huge middle finger towards Maddox Games basically saying that “haha, I stole your code and intellectual property I and can do better job than you”?

Exactly how many hours have you flown with these vintage WW2 fighters, so that you are qualified to say what sounds correct INSIDE the pit with proper headgear on? I personally have zero hours, but I can get you few opinions from guys who know what they are talking about. I have already heard one verdict and it was pretty much inline what ElAurens already said. Stock is less wrong when inside the pit.

d We all know you make mods, but besides that, do you think it's appropriate to come to the official 1c forum and post this, I mean what kind of reaction did you expect? Sorry but I have no patience for people going "internuts", and no desire to see this forum turn into trash talk. Please respect this forum and if you don't like a certain comment, step up and try to resolve the issue constructively or don't answer back at all. We're all trying to have fun here, so don't take things so seriously.

LOl. thats normally how it works here.

I think the reason he posted is not to "advertise" his mods, but to show what can be done. It's not like he's getting paid for them after all. That said, it's a bit in poor taste to come and "flaunt the wares" in a thread were it's specifically stated in the title that only official modifications are supported.

In any case, just because something is an unofficial mod doesn't make it more wrong or right than something that is an official mod. That's what patches are, official mods. Some things are better with the stock game, some are better with the modded game and all this is a matter of taste. For some "better" means historical, for others "better" means "what i saw in the movies as a kid, the same movies that made me interested in aviation". If people are free to decide if they want to fly with wonder woman view and unlimited ammo, then they should be free to decide if they want to fly with realistic sounds or hollywood sounds, no big deal.

I'm glad SoW will have built-in support for this kind of thing so that everyone can load up whatever they want, then maybe have each server enforce its list of approved modifications just like it's done with the difficulty settings.
Then we might be spared having to explain at each and every turn that game customization does not necessarily equal cheating. :rolleyes:

If anything, it gives people more stuff to play around with in a 10 year old simulator and that's good for the developers too. It's about being able to separate what's positive and what's not. Cracking the game code? Bad. Customizing the game through use of said code, so that people still keep flying IL2 after almost a decade? A positive side effect of a bad thing.

The thing is, as much as i like IL2 it's getting a bit long in the tooth and i'll take anything i can get to spice it up. Just because i like to fly full switch doesn't mean i won't try out something else once in a while. In that sense, i'm happy both for the officially supported work of team daidalos as well as the unofficial work done by hobbyists in the community.

Nobody's forcing anyone to use something they don't like after all ;)

Agreed. Some of the best games that have the longest "play life" are games that are easily modded. As users, we start thinking "Good game, but it would be better if...". And then we find that some modder had the same thought.

I've played in a lot of competitions where a "mod" was the standard for the competition (and reduced cheating). Mods can also fix obvious mistakes in the original.

Awesome! I had no idea this was underway. DT never ceases to amaze. Thanks for setting us straight :).

@EL Aurens, Fireflyerz, Viikate, etc: Oh my god...What have I started? :(

Cheers,

I mean no disprespect to anyone, but we all know what the mods sound like, I have a mod install on my machine. It's OK, mostly because of the array of aircraft that are flyable.

Is it the best thing since sliced bread, no. It's an alternative and nothing more.

Jaffa, your personal attack on me just proves my point better than anything I could write.

And no, P40s do not trail black smoke. Only restored Bf 109s that are run over rich to save their irreplaceable DB engines show that, and B52s and F4 Phantoms of course.

If you think my info comes from wiki then I suggest you know even less than you purport to.

Have a nice day.
