IL2 and Sound Modding

[Jumo211]

Thank you BSS_Sniper

How small is the planet earth , I was once for shorter period of time member of the very squad you're in !!
I was BSS_AviaS199 with also my friend BSS_AckAck that used to be there or maybe not any longer .
I didn't want to flame anyone , I didn't registered just to post this one reply ,
I actually registered at the beginning of December .
Just moved recently from Ubi forum to this one as I found this one much more interesting and funny .
My point was that yes , the so much hated sound mod alone makes me to buy the whole IL2-1946 version.
While nobody could care less what I think , I just wanted to let you all know.

Merry Christmas to you and your squad and all of you computer fighterpilots !!!

You know Jumo that as an offliner I find your point and post valid and I fear to have the choose between a new map (4.09) or keep the goodies we have now.

Merry xmas to you as well. This one may not be much more interesting, but it sure is a lot less moderated. Actually, I don't think its moderated at all. lol

I think Evgeny does a decent job letting things take their course. I've seen several instances where he stepped in when necessary. I also thought he handled it with dignity and diplomacy to the offenders. He got a lot of respect from me seeing that.

It's not babysat like at UBI, but there aren't anywhere near as many members here. My comments have nothing to do with UBI's moderating skills. I'd certainly hate to read hundreds of posts day after day after day with the sole purpose of moderating. It's not easy deciding the line and where it's been crossed. For the vast majority of issues I think they did pretty darn good..... especially when IL2 was putting out 3 and 4 pages of GD a day.

I am about to stick with 4.08 for off-line fun and will keep sound and other goodies .
There is no way for me to go back to old sound , I'm sorry to anyone who might be offended by people like me but after so many years , I can't pass that one for sure.
I have the utmost respect for on-liners and always trully wish for fair game to them and finding solution against anything that may give some kind of advantage that might be unfair to others.
I'm not in @ss kissing business , I'm trully speaking my heart .

IMO it would be great if 4.09 could be ecicively locked... That way folks who want the goodies can have them and those who would prefer hack free online play could do that .....

JUMO -- me too!!

I stopped at 4.04, but the now and future modding potential would be the reason I would upgrade to 1946. But I would like Oleg to "approve" of the modding first somehow. Its so far out of the bag, and apparently growing in popularity among FB/PF players, that I figure the 4.08 hack will turn into approved mods after 4.09. Just a guess.

Thanks LEXX ,
I'm glad that I'm not alone, who took since 4.04 wait and see approach.
Who can blame us , the 4.05 upgrade got so many horror stories that they were just too much to overlook having all the hassle after others did download software upgrade to 4.05
It got to the point that we would have to buy something that was almost guarantee not to work because of security piece added to it which happen to prevent many legit upgrades by not recognizing them.
In this case IL2-1946 is hassle free install and yet again worth for me to be a proud owner of IL2 complete masterpiece.
Yes , I myself failed to be patriotic to Oleg after my 4.04M version to carry on beyond with few maps and planes upgrade.
During time the 4.05 version was out , I took for the first time out of curiosity dive in to FPS world of gaming , bought all version of Call of duty, Far Cry and F.E.A.R , even tried demo of Crysis and guess what , at this very moment IL2 continue to be the only game that I play on regular basis and FPS games are all gone from my disk , I never connected with FPS games on personal level comparing to IL2.
IL2 will always have special place in my heart and I can't almost function as a human being without it .
I would never expected in a thousands years that there will be this sudden turn in IL2 franchise development that was done to this very point and I'm sure more is coming if we like it or not.
Oleg will never give blessing to this files tinkering madness , it aint gonna happen and he's surely offended beyond repair by all of this.
It's not all over and end of the world , for every action there is an reaction and I believe at the end of the day things will get worked out with some acceptable solution.
With all this recently amazing attention all over the world about IL2-1946 , this product is now even more legendary than ever before !
