CoD+Skins=ban?!

[checkmysix]

Hi Guys
I dont intend to Play on-line BUT I do want to use Third Party skins for
making Machinema Movies and posting on Youtube.
Is this likely to get Me banned,also are these skins detected in my Steam account anyway or ONLY in Multiplayer?
I would also like to add Swastika to Default German Skins and again will I get banned if used
I see that Guys have posted Images and Downloads of their Modded
Skins on this site and was wondering if anyone has had a Ban as a result of this?
Sorry for so many questions BUT better safe than sorry
Regards
Keith

Good lets scare the crap out of anyone that wants to mod the game. This will never get to the size or status of IL2 with this going on.

"...but Ive read too that using these skins will get your steam account locked? what the heck?..."

This is probably at the very edge of legality.
It would be a good thing if a lawyer looks at the situation with a nasty eye.

I'd say hacks (what some call mods) rather destroyed old IL2 (remember, what you call mods in old IL2 is based on leaked hacked code) than really added things. A few planes more? Some additional maps? Great! Most of it was there before the hack.

Now we have infinite number of old IL2 versions making it very difficult to fly together online.

I know how old IL2 was before hacks and the content was there well before the hacks (people seem to forget that the huge amount of planes available in old IL2 came with patches from the dev team without any addition from modders. Same with the maps). IL2 was huge well before the hack. So "Ehre, wem Ehre gebührt" (Honour to those who earned it).

To the initial concern on skin using:
I use some custom made skins offline and had no problems up to now.
