I am an admin at Skies~Of~Fire/Skies~Of~Valor -
www.skiesoffire.org. Our admins have recorded this incident also. The perpetrator AAA_Badboy is not a member of the AAA team
AllAircraftArcade. He is an imposter and has been banned from both of our servers. Here is his IP for all community server admins to document/ban:
AAA_Badboy - IP: 24.19.244.48
It appears the bullets of the Spitfire (Badboy) in the n-track are guided similar to the rockets for the Ta-152C. Possibly a hack for the guns to be similar.
We have also banned another flier in our server:
Daichidiki - IP: 76.22.62.154 (Daichidoku imposter)
This visitor to our server was observed flying an indestructible Lerch...when there was not even a Lerch in the planeset. I heard this also happened in a full real server in Hlobby. This pilot was banned from both of our servers also and has not resurfaced.
We do allow the sound mod on our servers as do the majority of Hyperlobby servers. Many allow it since runtime alterations are causing problems with various operating systems ie..Vista. Our servers are configured the way they were provided by UbiSoft in the latest patch. We do not promote the use of any mods, however we are aggressively monitoring the behavior of all the aircraft in game knowing many in the community have the sound mod. Many of us have flown IL2 since 2001 and are very familiar with most if not all of the flight characteristics in game. Any bizarre anomalies are met with removal/ban from our servers.
The guys at AAA have made a sound mod for the game to merely improve the quality of the sound. They have also made a couple of the bombers and a few other AI aircraft flyable. We have met these guys on our Teamspeak comms and know them very well. They have no bad intent for flight model alterations in IL21946. They are merely just making the game more attractive to potential new fliers within this community and kicking some life into this fantastic seven year old game. The AAA are very honest and welcome anyone to their website forums to see what they are up to.
I find it ironic that as soon as we recorded this incident (n-track above), banned the mod flyer and started discussing it, it shows up here in with an elaborate description of the stats, along with several people bringing this to HanzBlixz. This within a very short period of time....hhmmmm.....curious.
Thank you for reviewing my reply. We are doing the best we can right now to keep hackers with malicious intent away from our servers. Also to report them within the community so we can try and keep them away. Over the last few months we have had a strong presence in Hyperlobby not because of any game mods, but because of a dedicated hard working team of flight sim enthusiasts that just want the community to have a great experience. We have a wide range of great maps and various planesets to accommodate all levels of expertise. One server open pit and one closed. Please stop by some time and get to know some of the SOF community. See you in the Skies! ~S`alute
