but....it's starting to set in that the cats out of the bag, as Bearcat says. Once Pandora's box has been opened....it's not gonna get closed. far too mnay mod junkies roaming the streets now to lock em all up. Now that does not mean i'm gonna be caught with a glass mod pipe in my pocket going "hey maaaan please let me just get one hit."

Ummmm Worf? Worf is one of my squaddies.... He has nothing to do with AAA except for visiting the site.. Don't you mean
Wolf?

I agree for the most part.. but the fact that the modding apparatus was
so open didnt help either ... One of the differences is that here... we have a history of sim integrity... in CFS that was not the case.. When I came to the Zone in 2001 modcheat paranoia was going full tilt and justifiably so.... This sim was the only un modded sim available that was any good.. I think that was one of it's biggest selling points in light of MSCFS... I believe that most of the modders.. at least the ones at AAA (I cant speak for any other group..) want to maintain the integrity of the sim... thats why most of their mods are enhancements... that's why they take the steps to not promote FDW mods... They will happen.. and they would be happening if AAA existed or not.. but i think that since the sim was hacked years ago.... and that fact wont change it is a good thing that there is a place where people can get mods and not have to worry about the darker side of the issue.. As I said I am sure it exists... that potential has been since the sim was first hacked.. back when the only ones who had it were a certain Russian squad whose mane begins with an R... but I wont deny the good stuff coming out of AAA becuase of that.. and since once SoW comes out things will begin to shift.. I want to enjoy this sim as much as I can now... there are bigger moral issue on my plate than whether or not to use mods in a flight sim that I have paid thousands of dollars to enjoy over the past 7.5 years..
