A small plus with a big minus added.

To me it's a big plus with a small minus added, there are lots of regular joe's who like to make screenshots or movies from their online encounters.
And the guys who want to cheat in online campaigns will be cheating ingame anyhow, aswell as run secondary boxes that intercept and decode every package to display icons on a map or similar.
It's what happens in every competitive game sadly.

Ofcourse this could make it easier for them (in the case they haven't made such apps+ingame cheats allready..), but what do you expect when Maddox Games refuses to add a toggle where full switch servers can choose if tracks have external views. Especially since it's something everyone was used to and loved from the old IL-2.
The community takes over and adds functionality themselves, with positives and negatives to them.

So will it or won't it work on different servers?

Wow Doggles, couldn't you at least try to phrase that a little more politely?

Good Grief.

Oh, now that HURTS! LOL

By design, it will not work on other servers, not even in ATAG's server 2.

Again, fog of war should not be a problem as your game client only records what's close to you. In other words, it records only what you already can see.

Anyway, if someone is found to be abusing this in any way, access to the tool will be stripped.

If there's too much wining about it (as it appears to be starting already), the utility will be removed completely.

I guess emotion doesn't convey well over text. When I wrote it I had no ill/angry thoughts in my head whatsoever.

Sorry it was taken as rude; wasn't at all how I intended it. Just looking for clarification.

How would you prefer I had phrased it, Dutch?

Fair enough mate, no worries!

(I'm sure I don't have to make suggestions as to alternative phrasing!)

ATAG movies will be cool!

Colander has now updated the utility to allow for any types of skins, originally a problem.
