Bad News

Of course it's bad news *if true*. You would end up flying against vanilla and UFOs and everything in between.

It's apparently via Kegetys' extractor. I am not sure if this would be picked up by VAC. Sure hope so or online dogfighting will go downhill fast.

What exactly does VAC check ?

[jimbop]

Don't know is the short answer but I understand it checks file integrity (could be wrong or incomplete): http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Anti-Cheat

The risk with enabling VAC is that non-cheaters would also get banned. Given the history of CoD development this would not be surprising and I think the devs are wise enough to realise this. I seem to remember Luthier saying something similar a few months ago, that VAC would not be enabled until the game was stable.

If Il2 didn't had stayed un-hacked so long, it would never had reached its ripe age.

Toward the end the hack/mods prolonged the end, but also split the community.

Imho.

Gents, let's not devolve into a mods vs. vanilla discussion OK?

That is not what this is about. We already know that mods will be welcomed once the SDK is released and the system for secure mod free servers is sorted. I have no issue with that.

This is about people making online UFOs and flying them NOW. On servers that have no ability to exclude them.

It's happening, it's real, and it has nothing to do with mod making. It's a group of juvenile delinquents ruining the gameplay of regular users.

Is there any physical evidence of this, something like a track? I know I haven't been flying much lately, but the only UFO's I am dealing with are Spit IIa's. Maybe I am just being lucky...

I play practically every day at ATAG and Repka dogfight servers and I have yet to encounter any UFO FMs, unless you count Spit IIa
