Neg, sorry, but that comparison doesn't work. I have been burned by these so-called "improvements" twice in my gaming life and these experiences (along with reading Il-2 message boars for years) have formed my opinion on user mods in combat flight simulations in general (= people aren't mature enough to be given access to any core data and mods tend to be prybars which split communities). That the file protection was hacked (an individual act which I consider disrespectful to the extreme) just made my resolve not to use any mods even harder.

I do not agree with everything Copperhead posted and I don't think his tone is helpful. However the provocations were started by a few selected mod-proponents - at least as far as I know - and I am convinced they have been started precisely for that effect - to undermine the "reputation" of people opposing the mods by luring them into posting inflammable comments. I do not know why these people took that road or what exactly they hoped to achieve, but I believe that these few individuals have made the rift between pro- and anti-mod much wider and deeper than it would have been without them.
