IL2 and Sound Modding

[stalkervision]

Without icons it is extreamly difficult to see aircraft at a distance in the game normally. Much worse then real life. Look at it this way. Is it also fair for some players to have higher resolution and bigger computer monitors to see planes a whole lot better in the distance or faster internet connections and much faster computers and video cards that make their planes perform a whole lot better and further then someone that can't afford these things?

Just my opinion. When I use to play Battlefied 1942 on a slower computer and with a slower internet connection I got my butt whipped regularly by people who could afford as good equiptment as computer companies made. Nothing fair about that either...

I don't know where you got the idea that it is easier to see aircraft in real life. That is the biggest crock of S*** I've ever heard! lol Stalker, I am not trying to be disrespectful, so please do not take it that way. I am a real life pilot and flying aircraft is how I make my living. Some others in my squad are professional pilots as well. One of the BIGGEST things we comment on is how unrealistically easy it is to spot aircraft in IL2. We probably comment on that nightly. If you want an idea of something that is closer to real life, take a look at lockon. It is darn near ridiculous, the ease of spotting aircraft in this sim. I've talked about this to other RL pilots here and we all say the same thing; I will get a call from ATC giving me distance and direction of other aircraft and we still can't see them until they are close and I have 20/15 vision. Sometimes you may see the glint of the sun on an aircraft at a distance on a very clear day, but that is rare. One thing that is missing here is haze.

Also, if you didn't know, the higher your resolution, the harder it is to see aircraft IIRC.

Well, it has become abundantly clear the end goal regarding these hacks for some is to "level their playing field".....Though in truth gain a bit of an edge. Justifying something giving one an advantage because "bob has more money then I, therefor possibly better equipment, therefor I can do "X" as it brings me to par" is a poor reason/excuse.

Best part is it clearly states that anything to no matter what degree is not off limits. As today it's just to get to a "believed par", tomorrow because you had a bad night so tweak it up a bit more to be at your believed par....and in time you're naturally just the ace of aces due to your superior skills, as naturally everyone else is doing the same.

Sorry....Fact of the matter is I'm probably at the low end as far as equipment.....and to be blunt, I hold my own and then some against those with 2 of everything and all top end.

However Stalkervision, you do state the case for NOT allowing mods quite well whether you realized it or not.

Were you always this stupid or did you have to take a whole lot of lessons to become that dumb. I have to say one thing for you. You really got your moneys worth...

SV/ How so? you give no reason whatsoever for that opinion, you just ask us to accept this nonsense as is. No, I just put these examples out to show that the field wasn't level to begin with BF. Never has been. Btw, you have not answered my question either. Which would you prefer. A game with no mods or a sub-par low end system? Indeed, some il-2 on-line pilots cheat and they use their wallet to do it. There is no habicapping function in the game to fix that either.

SV/ Yes, indeed that is what the modders all intend to do.. Quote your system and we will see how low it is. How does your fps do when you have a sky full of planes? If your low end system was anything like mine when there were too many players it got very slow. It did pretty well when only a few players were playing though. How about your internet connection too?

However Stalkervision, you do state the case for NOT allowing mods quite well whether you realized it or not.

Sv/ Hardly and where you have gotten that completely wacko idea I have no idea whatsoever..

You keep worrying your little mind about all these spurious little mind affecting mods BF. I just hope BOBSOW comes out before you blow a fuse over them..

Wonder how they got the proper altitudes without knowing the altitude coding table in the game....
looks to me much more like "there should be hills there, so I put hills there... don't care if summit is 500m or 2000m...."
