To Oleg or Luthier: 4.09 / mods question

[LEXX]

Falke::

Accordingly there is a forum for the mods and official forums for the game. If you really insist to discuss the mods here amongst people who may not like it, will I have your support when I start a thread at the mod-boards where we all keep reminding ourselves that the crack is illegal? Wouldn't that support your idea, too?

Yes, the mod boards are where the active community is now. If there were frequent detailed discussions of specific mods here, it might cause: "Oleg my mod don't work, plz fix game." But, no real mod discussion is found here except for the occasional Abstract Mod Theory discussions such as this thread. Since I myself don't use any mods, or Oleg's sim anymore, I can only abstractly theorize about modding in this sim.

You were offered an alternative in a friendly manner. Other than that, we can't help you.

To get it back on track, where the hell are all these mods people are talking about?
I do not have tackir so i cannot use that one. I understand there is a sound mod that helps you hear planes on your six? but bugger if he gets on your six, then hearing him is not exactly going to help, unless you can dodge 30mm cannon shells...
and as for the so-called speed mods they are easy to spot. And the day a Me 109 out turns my i16 then I will really be concerned.
Hope everything is back on track now.
And ps anything that makes a game play better is a good thing. Play Armed Assault and see the difference the sound mods make.
That said, I still do not know where to find them
And lastly online is different from offline. Offline you are modding your experience, online you are affecting other players. Most games have strict no-tamper policies in place online, punkbuster etc so why all the fuss. When you play online keep it standard, and when you go offline let your hair down.

Shucks, I don't even have sound on my computer. No speakers, nothing. I jam stereo. It helps me relax during the Dogfight. woof woof

That little exploit is built into the vanilla Il-2 game. You can try to dampen it's immersion killing effect by setting attenuation to 0 in your config.

As others have said thats not a function of the sound mod, the sound mod people discuss was the first mod to come out and had improved engine and gun sounds, the mods have expanded far beyond that but everyone refers to the sound mod only cause that came out first. You can read about the mods at www.allaircraftarcade.com , and learn whats going on there and decide for yourself.

Hello,

I would like to take a completely different standpoint on this whole mod issue that matter to me the most.
While we have also 15, 17, 20 year old guys around who may be enjoying photorealistic brand new spanking WW2 flight sim maybe thirty years from now , for those of us who are over 40 years old , clock is ticking , I may not be here thirty years from now , that's why I couldn't give the slightest damn anymore about the way AAA mods were incorporated in to the game .
What is out there ahead of me ? should I take it or not ? , hearing more realistic engine sounds or not ? craters , less and more realistic dust , new maps etc. ?
Answer is pretty clear for me , I am gonna live my sim to the fullest and will be enjoying any current and future immersion improvement that is not looking arcadish .
My point is , that when there will be someday finally some really @ss kicking WW2 flight sim , I may not be here to enjoy it , so who would blame me that I did take my chances with those AAA mods and am now truly happy .
Just to those younger fans here on this and Ubi and other forums , wait , hold on , stop crying , you may get to see brand new generation of WW2 sim toy to play with..... and your IL2-1946 game with or without AAA mods ? life goes on ......................
Believe me, some people are thinking just like me even if it may sound to some as a little bit extreme.

AFAIC the bottom line is this... These mods are good mods. I haven't tried all of them... No need .. but the ones I have tried are good mods.. and there is nothing I repeat NOTHING out there to top this sim. This sim stock out of the box is still the absolute best WWII combat flight sim made to date.. bar absolutely none. But these mods make it even better... and if it isn't for you then... no problem.. if it is for you then great.. but they are here and they are not going away. You can debate the "issue" till chickens play trumpets.. but in the end.. the mods will still be here.. For me they brought the sim to another level, which I didnt think was possible. The fact that there is not a bunch of rampant cheating online, at least not in the coops i fly in as often as I can, says something about the modders, the mods and the IL2 community in general. All the tension was because many f us , myself included expected the worse.. which never happened, we didn't get the cheats, we didn't get the chintzy mods, and we didn't get the BS mods. Most of the mods that I have seen, even if I didn't try them were practical mods. If you go to the mods Download section there arent a whole lot of nonsense mods.. just things to add flavor to the greatest sim to date. Oleg & 1C couldnt get to it.. NP... Some of those maps are great... and the fact that it builds on 1Cs work.. it is not another sim.. it is IL2 on steriods.. bring it on... I cant wait for BoB.. a whole new engine, better everything.. but i can still enjoy this sim... and I will.. AFAIC 1C gets my $$$ sight unseen for any flight sim they make until they produce a dud... but this one will always have a special place for me, and that place is made even more special by the recent mods.
