IL2 and Sound Modding

[Brain32]

Jason you fail to understand only one thing, one VERY important thing. IL2 was not meant to be modded, I really like many of the mods I saw on "that place" but I don't like possible consequences of modding in general, that's it.
Now if the game was made from the begining with modding in mind it would be an entirely different thing, and we wouldn't have this discussion at all

OH MY GOD.......Winge ,whine ,moan, grumble ,complain.....give it a rest, no one has ever invented anything that cant be destroyed,broken into, hacked, modded,.....ECT,its the way of the world and it will forever be this way,if your all cheezed off about the cheaters ,,then form your your own tight nit sim groups where no one else can get in and you feel safe from all the booooogy men out there.
Ive played this game for years but the biggest dissapointment was the sound, ITS NAF,so I added a sound mod and WoW it transfomed the game for me, since then ive added a few more to make the game a bit more realistic, but never anything to give me an unfair advantage or anything that isnt aicraft correct, I could if I wanted to but I dont , I know enough about this game and its aircraft to notice when somone is cheating and I just dont play them anymore, I like the realism in sturm, thats why I play it but I accept that spoilers are allways lurkin in the near distance, its just a fact of life. By the way some of the mod sites are fantastic , there working realy hard to keep this game interesting and enjoyable for people like me and there free too, Dont knock it till yav tried it..........
Jafa.

In those...sims u mention it doesnt take much to "improve" the game since its crap

Yeah you're right! EAW, Falcon 4, Janes F/A18 etc etc...they were all crap! I'll bow to your superior knowledge and discernement!

[jasonbirder]

Name one other online WWII combatflight sim that can be compared to IL2

Well theres BOB II - WOV I enjoy both that and Il2

[ElAurens]

So, just how does BoB II stack up online vs. IL2?

[jasonbirder]

I'd say they both give me everything i'm looking for in an Online Flight Sim

That "crap" part was mostly directed at CFS1-3 since we are talking about online WWII sims, and European Air War is just..old.

CFS may have been "improved" by mods into MAW, but that doesnt change the fact that MAW is a piece of garbage. (in my humble opinion that is)

And im not even comparing it to IL2, its a peice of garbage all by its own, propably because its based on CFS game engine more than anything else.

No opinion on MAW myself other than some may enjoy it for whatever reason. The CFS core coding was abandoned by Microsoft long ago while Oleg continued to improve his. However, the anti-social forum behavior "garbage" insult fails to prevent people moving to the FB/PF mods, unfortunately unauthorized, and may even encourage mod use here by showing that hostile anonymous public server computer gamer social behavior is to be ignored.

Baron::

Remember offline is not the same as online. Online is what we are talking about, thats what all this is about.

Until we support Oleg Maddox ourselves by paying a Monthly Fee for cheat-free anonymous public server gameplay, we are talking about Offline players.

There was another way: Sharing our sim with Offline players through Maddox approved methods, but we declined this opportunity to help our fellow customers by trashing them (and other Online players) on the western publisher's forum, accusing them of "wanting to cheat online." Now we pay the price, and get what we asked for -- a hack that is growing in popularity instead of officially approved tools that Oleg could keep from being used on anonymous public servers.

That part is just absurd. So if I leave my car unlocked and some jerk steals it, I asked for it and he shouldn't be held accountable? C'mon. lol
