And that's the rub. You can play pretend airplanes with arms outstretched in your back yard and call it a perfect air combat simulator for all anyone cares or should care. It's a free world after all. But on-line is different. Would anyone even consider playing chess against a human opponent if they did not know their opponent was using the same pieces and following the same rules? Obviously not.

We owe Oleg and 1C a big thank you for enabling the on-line community that existed a few years ago before the game was hacked. TD are now the keepers of that particular faith.
