What you say is just a very theoretical and optimistic wishful thinking.

As a high ranked politician once said: it is the one who doesn't play by the rules who will always win.

If a cheat is possible there's always one who will do it even if the majority doesn't. And one cheater is enough to ruin a flight evening and experience (and not wishful thinking) teaches us that accusations of cheating are florishing when mods (or to be precise "hacks" because that's what it is) exists which is even worse.

Experience (and not wishful thinking) teaches us that mods will lead to a split server offer and thus reducing the choice of scenarios you and I can fly on.
During my IL2 time there have been a handful of servers that weren't empty and had full real settings. 90% of all servers on hyperlobby were not full real, 75% of the remaining full real servers were always empty. This left about perhaps 5 servers that were full real and with decent player numbers to have fun. And this was during the best times of IL2 when there had been over 1000 IL2 players online on Hyperlobby. Then came the mods and modfree servers with full real and with decent player numbers dropped considerably. And each of the remaining had different mods. I dropped out of playing IL2 and so did a lot of other players because when I checked a couple of months later on HL only half of initial player numbers were found on HL.

After now one year of IL2 absence I don't know where player number is right now but I guess that it is far lower now.

Fact is the community is shrinking. And you want to divide this community further just in order to have the Spit or the 109 you dream of. Have fun with it there will be very few ppl with whom you then can fly.
