Been a while....

Rama::

IL2 online is almost dead... not because of cheating... but because almost nobody plays the same game.

Hint -- they may not wish to play with you. I always said online play is *nothing* more than social interaction. Yough BEAR you remember that. Mods have allowed people to freely associate and break free from the snotty behaving "online" gamer minority that was allowed to dominate the ubi forums for years. You see the same behavior in playground bullies, and then you see them get "mad" when their rule over the playground is threatened. Basic behavior seen in children and poorly socialized adults.

SaQSoN::

ALL mods for the IL-2, so far, are LAME.

I dunno. Some 3D model makers on Oleg's team hope to independently mod BoB And Beyond.

"lame" -- Well yes SaQSoN you are mad as a little playground bully. Many of the new mods are more advanced and more liked than some game content you (or others) made when working for Oleg.

Time for Oleg to build a new team?

i think it more human competition than anything else

Exactly! Social interaction includes Human vs Blue Side competition as a subset.

Oh, well, they sure HOPE to do so. The question is, WILL they do it actually in their free time, after working all day for Oleg? Oh, well, we'll see. Anyhow, if those guys will fulfill their plans, their creations will not be lame, at least.

Mad? Oh, no. I am just a man, who doesn't wear the pink glasses. A mere observer, so to speak.

That's really funny. All the mods for IL-2, the public had access so far, are unfinished, bug-ridden, poorly done and unbalanced in many senses. Lame, to be short, which I pointed in the first post.

Oh, and "more advanced than some game content you (or others) made when working for Oleg" are, probably, those "Frankendick" planes, slapped together from other (stock) plane's parts, eh?

Let me guess: you suggest for it those guys in T-shirts with "Lamerz alive, join us!" logo? A proud owner, by a chance?

I don't know where you fly but there's 800-1000+ on hyperlobby every night, the same as there was before the mods, so the whole "online is dead" bullcrap doesn't hold water. It didn't hold water when the mods first came out and it sure as hell doesn't now that they've been out for over a year.

Where are you getting your mods, close that site and never return....

Off-line play will never compare to organized on-line wars until the AI can compete and communicate with human players. I don't see the AI becoming that good for sometime.

Some of the mods are interesting with decent maps but they will always be limited by the IL-2 engine. Il-2 will soon be a small part of the community when ROF and SOW are released in the new year. Most modders will move on to the more comprehensive modding tools of the new engines.

Hyperlobby dead? Still a 1000 people on it when I'm on,same as there has always been.

And,just one example Saqson,do you really think the official 1C P47 cockpit is better/more accurate than the modded one?
