Brain32, you are correct that we are guilty of throwing all anti-mod people in with the mods=cheat crowd, and for that I apologize. I've said before that I understand and respect the position of those who have thought it out honestly and still don't want to partake. It's the ones who spread flames, BS, and lies and do it loudly and with much venom that I rail against.
But to suggest that there was no cheating before the mods is ridiculous, I know you've been around for some time, I'm familiar with your handle, you should know better, there have been cheaters since the original il2. There has always been the suspicion of cheating as well, anytime I was on teamspeak with a group of people (way before the mods) and there was a person or a group of pilots that came in and started owning the whole server everyone in there would scream "cheat!" and start speculating about how they are cheating. Actual cheating and the suspicion of cheating are nothing new in this sim, it's always been there. Perhaps suspicion is up slightly but the actual cheating hasn't increased as far as I can tell.

What's funny about all this talk about cheating its not as wide spread as some of you would like to believe. The guys that have been able to get past simple server settings don't last long and are booted. In addition this sim for the most part appeals to older guys which aren't into cheating. The young ones are the trouble makers and are usually dispatched as soon as they are found.
The good news is there are several guys in the mod groups that are working hard on making sure cheats aren't spread or encouraged.
