would this mean that SOW rooms in Hyperlobby would have to be listed as opened or locked? It's an interesting idea, but given all the clatter about mods maybe it's best to follow Oleg's plans for add-ons?

I gota go with Flyby on this. I like olegs plan. I was enthousastic about it when it was anounced. IMO that's the best way to do it. Let's not further devide the community on this....before we even see what Big O has planed.

and before the spello cops come out...yeah i didn't spell/type check again so freakn shoot me.

The problem with this is, the locked version would not stay locked forever. People will try to get in from day one of release, IL2 was a locked game, look where it is now. You have to look at the mind set of people who do these kind's of things. They are the same type who enjoy making a virus, or leaving a paper bag on fire, after ringing your door bell. Besides 1C can not be expected to release two versions, at this stage of the game

slipball,
not to call you out or anything, but that's quite a statement to make about modders. I've seen youtube videos of some of the mods, and am impressed by some of the efforts. It does not strike me, nor does it seem to necessarily follow that (all of) the modders are the worst types that you portray them to be. I don't want to think that that such a poisonous viewpoint could be true. I think you are voicing your opinion, but is it really so universally applicable to all modders?
I guess I'm just asking for a bit of civility, and pointing out that such broad sweeping statements are unfair to make, imo. No offense.

I never said "modders", I'm talking about the original people that hacked IL2...those same types will start to attempt to open SOW upon release, I do hope that they fail

I stand corrected. You are not implicating modders. I've made an ass of myself by assuming... Can you mod without a hack job? I guess I thought the were interchangeable but I'm not sure now.

I thought that Oleg has already said that there would be, or could be, an online component with officially approved aircraft/maps/3rd party stuff, and a second component that would allow open modifications, and that the two types would not cross over.

Flyby
You are missing the point that I tried to make. That is: That someone will eventually hack SOW.

And yes some of the mods are good, but that begs the question are some people using game tweaks in competition. That's why a closed game should remain that way
