slipball, how can this be a burden to 1C? Oleg has already stated that he needs to turn his attention to BOB. 409 is way down on his 2 do list . and if you think he still is ,how long does he want from beta release, Its been a year maybe?
anyway AAA have done a good job with keeping things above board as much as they can.. Also food for thought , the code was cracked and released by a russian . go figure

Hmmmm what do i think about the Mods.
I think they suck. 1/2 @ss done trash by ppl who have next to zero idea what thier doing. the majority of wich are passing out cheat files in private amongst themselvs like thier halloween candy. All under the guise of "we're making the sim better". then they're asking for "DONATIONS" to thier web site. they are taking a profit off of other peoples hard work. thier bleeding the life blood right out of the sim while at the same time draining Olegs pockets dry. and most of the garbage they've put out would never meet Olegs high standerds. Not to mention they have even further devided a comunity that was already splinterd. If you choose to fly a CLEAN install online...good luck finding a server or a coop in with to do it. You can literally count on one hand the servers that specifiy they are mod free on one hand. and lets face it. not all of them are tha golden angels they claim to be. there are a great many of the mod users who are just out for the exploits and mod files so they can pad thier kill counts and thier egos. CFS2 died becuse of BS like this in case anyone cares to remember. (not the only reason i know, but it was the contributing factor in it's down fall.) As of tonight however it seems that thier web site is down. one can only wonder if it's due to thier web host shuting them down for failure of payment for the monster fees they have accumulated or if Oleg finally has had enough and had them shut down due to infringment. Whatever the case may be....good ridance. don't let the door hit ya in the @ss on the way out. that's what i think about em. While ican't say that over at the UBIzoo anymore with out being threatend witha perma-ban...i can sure as heck say it here. as for what Oleg thinks about it....was posted on another thread here.

wow copperhead, such strong views there m8, As i am a regualer flyer on HL lets point out some facts .
1) most of the people who fly Il2 are of an average age of 45.(our oldest memeber in MD was 86)Infact one our our members is an university lecturer. Unless they have some serious issue`s with their personality why would they wanna cheat? I For one am 34 , I DO NOT CHEAT nor do i have the desire to cheat. 2) The people at AAA have strong views on making sure that exsiting FM or load out is NOT changed .And that Mods that are introduced are HISTORICAL with factual evidence 3) The aaa have introduced a "unified Mod Installer" which if everyone downloaded , servers could run at Check time =2 3) The mods that are available on the aaa website consist of the following: cockpit re-paints, mirrors , ai cockpits, exhaust stack smoke , tyre screech, bullet impact sounds, new planes to name a few.. Copperhead, im not trying to covert peeps, but saying that quote"I think they suck. 1/2 @ss done trash by ppl who have next to zero idea what thier doing. the majority of wich are passing out cheat files in private amongst themselvs like thier halloween candy."is rather rude and slanderous, where is your evidence man? If also i could offer some advice? If you having trouble with cheats, fly smart. Cheaters usually come in the form of spotty faced kidz(sorry for the stereotype here) who cant be bothered to learn the hard way.These types of people usually fly low `n` slow in TnB fights.. Easy meals mate.

Christ, Copperhead needs to calm down; does anyone have a valium or something for him?
 I can understand your views on the mods as being a "threat" to the online community, but I dare you to say "1/2 @ass trash by ppl who have no idea what they are doing" if you take a tiny peek on their site or the videos of modded IL on youtube And just as an afterthought; sorry for spoiling your rage dude, but the modders have IMPROVED on many of the aspects of the game that have been complained about for YEARS without MG ever doing anything about it in a standard that in some ways are better than the standard of the game itself. (better sounds, tire screech on landing, exhaust flames on ignition, new maps, new flyable planes, the infamous Fw190-bar, the REAL differences between the Bf109 models, gyro-sights for the planes that actually had them, and lots more that I dont remember right now) do yourself a favor and atleast check your facts before you start calling names and pointing your finger just my thoughts on the subject.. |

Maybe the question was already posed. If so, excuse me, please.
Oleg is the owner of the game. He is contrary to hacking and mods. So, hacking and mods are an abuse, and it doesn’t matter if they are good or bad, if they IMPROVE or not the game. Can anyone tell me where and how my reasoning is wrong? |

I disagree.. I agree in principle.. but considering that : There has been a small group of people that anyone who has been around here for any length of time knows about, who have had the ability to hack the sim and kept it to themselves.. as far back as 3 or 4 years ago. Oleg said that he wasn't going to be doing more work on this sim after 4.09.. that all his resources would be dedicated to SoW. and the real kicker.... Like or not, the sim has been hacked... to act like it hasn't been instead of dealing with that fact is just plain stupid. To vilify those who have decided to use the mods that are now out there who have no intention of cheating, or to criminalize those who have taken advantage of the fact that the sim has been cracked and have come up with some really good things... some of which were asked for since the sim's innception (This is NOT to fault Oleg or 1C in anyway for not including some of these things into the sim at all, just a statement of the facts.) is wrong. More wrong than using the mods.... To DENY that some of those mods are very well done, (that Italy Africa Greece map is a thing of beauty... ) or to keep harping on the widespread cheating that we all, myself included initially. thought would come from the hacking of the sim, that never came to pass is equally stupid, narrow minded and again... just plain wrong. Now I cant deny that the initial hack was wrong.. and I sat on the fence with these mods for quite some time because I wanted to see for myself how things went. If the widespread cheating scenario we all feared had come to pass I would not have touched them... but my position on this has always been the same since this all started except that I have come to realize, and I cant help but think it is either a testament to this community, Oleg & 1C's creation or a combination of the two, because he did raise the standards to a new height that cheating and modding are not the same. In spite of what I have seen in other sims and heard of in other online venues (Simming is the only thing I really do like this... ), this time around the cheats have not taken over. I have yet to be on a server where I questioned my getting shot down or could attribute that to anything but either a better pilot or me making the last mistake. Quote:

Copperhead that is why you got banned from UBI. That attitude and that caustic, demeaning insulting brush that you so liberally want to paint anyone who has found some enhancement to the sim in the mods. You can think what you want about the mods, but you go around on your high horse slinging $hit in peoples faces and insulting them like you are some kind of pillar of moral authority. You are talking out of your behind. You don't know what you are talking about. Some of those mods ARE good. VERY GOOD. This community gets splintered more by the vitriolic pap that you are spouting than by mods. There is a reason why unmodded servers are getting harder to find. And it isn't because the entire Hyperlobby community is clueless, or cheaters, or hack kiddies or liars or thieves or skill less. It is because some of thos e maps are fantastic... and if you take out the new planes for the most part most of the mods are effects, or feature enhancements. The 6DoF mod alone is a thing of beauty.. I can now hunker down on my gunsight in my razor back jug instead of having to hit SHIFT+F1. What few graphic glitches there are pale by comparison to the stability and quality of the mod. That is a fact. You don't know what you are talking about man. Being able to zoom in and out on my map? Great!! Having bi directional radiator controls now? FANTASTIC!! Being able to set my speedbar to default to MPH... or KIAS... or whatever i want is great. Being able to customize my default skins so now when I fly over Ramitelli airbase... oh.. did I say Ramitelli airbase...? I see dozens of redtail aircraft parked on the side.. or being able to customize me splash screen.. or put Mamabear's picture in my P-51 cockpit.. yeah.. it is good. Sure there are some mods out there that are not well done. Yes there are cheaters.... but for the most part they are few and far between, and thier presence does not in my opinion warrant me disrespecting and insulting guys I have known for the past 5-7 years, because they use mods. Sorry that dog just don't hunt... Cheating and modding are two different things man. You canh keep your head in the sand or up your backside or wherever you want to keep it.. but you need to stop with the hostile rhetoric and you need to look at the people who are using these mods and aske yourself if you think they have no character. |

By Oleg's own admission in posts at the UBI Forums several years ago, the "On-liners" comprise no more than 5% of all IL2 series purchasers. They are, of course, by definition the most active on the internet and also most active and vocal on the various internet Forums, and thus they appear very erroneously to be the overwhelming 'majority'...they are not, by any stretch of the imagination.
Those 'on-liners' who "Cheat", as noted in an earlier post above, are clearly the very immature element who likewise are in the even more extreme minority, my guess being less than 5 in a hundred...which equates to less than 1/4 of One percent of all the purchasers (customers) of Oleg's IL2 series of products. This miniscule segment of the customer base, and also those who are obsessed with preventing their "Cheating", have wagged the tail of Oleg 1C's company for far too long...and I think he finally realized it. Oleg could have extended the life of his IL2 series product line and made a lot more profit/money by welcoming the Modders into the fold, perhaps even hiring them to produce such improved Mods for sale under the umbrella of 1C's production efforts, rather than combating/resisting their MODding efforts. The MODs have brought a whole new Life to the IL2 series, in spite of that resistance, winning many new Fans (IL2 CUSTOMERS) and thereby expanding the potential retail customer base for SOW:BofB....far moreso than would be the case resulting from any continued catering to the wagging tail. imho |
