You can keep repeating the same stuff until you believe that hacks are any good or you are already there.Doesn`t change facts one bit.

This thread has 39 pages but only valid argument brought by modders was ONE and by ONE user namely jasonbirder.All vanilla users aruments stand strong.




Oh yeah thanks you`re making a good example of what role vanilla users on these boards have.Clear misinformation, inform according to facts.

So I reply

the online host CRT=2 setting does not work.It was tested.

Myth gone out the window.

This game started out with a limited "Modding" ability (see above examples).

As Ivan said, "this is getting better and better!" (Sorry if I quoted it wrong Ivan).

One thing that is a fact is that every single other popular Combat Flight simulator has been the subject of extensive community and third party modification...
Every single other Combat Flight Simulator Community has embaced it, utilisied it and welcomed it...
Now i'm sure plenty of people will tell me that what applies in those games doesn't apply in IL2, that IL2 is completely unique and where every other Combat Flight Simulator has been improved by community/third party mods IL2 is being destroyed by it...
But really what is the difference...
IL2 is a Combat Flight Simulator like LOMAC and EECH
It has closed code like Falcon 4.0 and Janes F/A18
It is a world war 2 combat flight simulator like European Air War and Combat Flight Simulator 3
So what exactly sets it so far apart from all of those...

" then ask yourself why that is.. and you will have your own answer in a nutshell... It is a shame that it had to be this way.. but it is what it is.
