Well said. I personally don't miss anything with the original.
@ LEXX:
I agreed with csThors posts, because it says a lot about what is currently going on: As you can see with Bearcats statements, peoples minds change. It's no longer good vs evil, the unspeakables against brown-noses and the reason why you get in trouble when posting links to the mods is not because the mods are damned, but because the initial crack was and is illegal.
But while official sides remain silent, the so-called "brown-noses" made their decision or tend to test the mod sooner or later, the modding-community is still fighting loudly against windmills. And it IS just like csThor put it: This self-shoulder-padding of some people showing MG how easy it is to fix problems with IL2 (even on this board!) is just as misplaced as it is unfair. And this Rebellion against the evil Olegian Empire story is just ridiculous, sorry.
I've been active in the F4-modding-community for a long time, now, and though the modders did an awesome job making the game much better as it initially was, the idea of making the job better than the original programmers did themselves was new to me until this modding-thing with IL2 arose.
