There are no new arguments to this from the mod supporters`.I understand that you have an obvious interest in diminishing the past experiences with such mods and misinforming.
You question the reality which is online play in combat sims like CFS.They are dead.

cars CAN kill...but that doesn't mean everyone driving a car is a killer...

Does one car crash cause whole cities to stop functionning?
The analogy is clearly flawed.

I have been using the mods for months...and am very active in the AAA forums.... I am certainly not lacking in intelligence (IQ=140)...but I do not see anywhere how the anti crowd can claim that it is EASY to hack the FM.... it is certainly not right there in front of your face.... you may have to go looking deep in the files to be able to do so....
|
That is a lie. More misinformation.
I inform those reading:
Changing FM/DM is very easy as it is based on the same way of modding as the sound plus changing some parameters.
There is no need of higher math information or special PC info. A single user able to switch between two IL2 versions is perfectly able to mod anything the game is, especially the FM/DM as the easiest parts.

and to make those kind of changes requires the use of 'Qtims sfs extractor tool'... which is NOT a part of the mod kit...and has to be got from another source...if you want to use it
|
It is easily accesible on multiple forums aswell as on all the online applications used to play IL2 online. The tools are widespread, easy to use.

I believe that MOST of the people using the mods have just downloaded what is available from the AAA site...and are not interested in making their own
|
Thses folks are supporting the mods - sums up their respect for the agme let alone the maker of it.There is nothing respectable in that and it is time you admit it.
More information on the issue: the hacking tools have been already downloaded in a number of about 10000 samples. Add to that a simple player to player exchange and you got a plague.

To label everyone who uses the mods as cheats is ridiculous...

It is a logical consequence of the past expereinces with open code modding and part of a defense mechanism as:
1) the cracking of the code is illegal
2) the modding has no acceptance from Oleg Maddox
3) there is no way to prove that anyone is using the mods online against the server administration.

But for those who adamantly deny themselves the use of the mods..... you are very soon about to miss out on some of the most interesting work which has been done.......
new maps are in progress.......the Aleutians..... The Slot..... Truk .... N.W.Europe ..... Malta.....

Not one minute have I been interested in those. Everything from the site is benefitting from doings that are against the developper and is offending his laws.
The " interesting work" has therefore no value whatsoever.
