Dunno if this has any bearing here but I tried the Mod for a short time and all of it's many facets of fancy extras, Now in wartime pilots did modify their planes, they did put rearview mirrors on planes that didn't have them. They may have even modified or tweaked performance, but I digress. The truth is the Mods really are hacks and one can use them to gain an unfair advantage over other more responsible fair playing aviators even without changing FM/DM and the server side Check Runtime=2 is so easy to get around that most people probably aren't aware of how it's being done. Now that I know I won't use the Mods, as far as Offline play they may have a certain appeal but we aren't worried about that we want to be sure that our online experience is safe from hacking and cheating. The only way is to insure that joining programs don't circumvent the server protections that are intended to compare files and that ip's of people who join who can be determined to not have a Normal version of the game can be kicked from the server. This is going to take the work of smarter people than me who are aware of which I speak and get those joining programs to patch up the holes in them and a server side check which works no matter what OS one is using and only discriminates against Cheating and Hacked programs. The constant Bickering changes nothing, The arbitrary Goodbye Cruel Forum is getting real old and if your half as smart as you think you are when you think you have a solution and know how to Hack for good and not for Winning only for yourself then Dammit Do Something about it!
