Holy truth Bearcat , holy truth !!
There will always be the extra step and willingness by someone to do just exactly that.

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 !

Pretty much sums me up as well... with a few exceptions..

ain't happening, and as said many times those pro-hack claiming they'd leave 4.09 alone, within minutes of it's release they're at it.....

Did you expect different?......

To tell you the truth Billfish,I did.And yes,I am naive.And don't assume we are all 'at it'

Is this where the community parts ways........some folks choose door number one....some folks choose door number two...or do we just take door number three.

I'm a little confused about the issue myself. I too was hoping this would be the case. Although I do understand the desire to be able to have these great new maps and objects and still be able to use the really cool mods. It's a little confusing for me right now, I want a solution that will let the non-modders have a sense of security online but let the modders be able to do thier thing too. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution......

Its the normal situation with beta patches.Most will use 4.08 for general online use.Some will use the beta to fly with others with the beta.Best to have 2 installs of the game.

Naturally then you also believed FM/DM/Weapons/etc. would not be tampered with in any way, shape, form, or degree.....So tell us again.....

Once having chosen a path most follow it to its end......Call me a Cynic, yet the work of the modders of "all groups" (those posting here just a small fraction YET could of taken a leadership role, refused), and sadly the cheaters using their work has just begun.

While I am disappointed/confused over what is happening with 4.09mb I do firmly beleive that AAA will not cross the FM/DM/Weapons line.

[JG52Uther]

I don't know Billfish.I personally would not have a clue how to make a mod.Don't take me for having any sort of 'leadership' role either.I am just one person who has an opinion like everyone else.Obviously you visit the AAA forums a lot,so you have probably seen my posts there saying I would like 4.09 to be left alone.I am sure there are several of us that feel the same way.
And no,I have still not seen any increase in cheating online.
