Any plans to finally get a re-crypting?

Sweet, we're turning in circles.
My offer stays valid: Show me how you cheat with your modded game on a crt=1 or crt=2 server and I'll come back here to tell the world you're right.
No need to go on arguing FC, just show it.

Until then, my word stays: If you want to play online and assure that you're not sorrounded by others using mods (i.e. you prefer "vanilla" unmodded IL-2), join crt=2 servers only.

Storebror, I think cheaters unfortunately have more ingenuity than you think. From what I understand, the most widely complained-about cheats nowadays seem to be memory hacks. CRT probably just checks the files in the game folder to make sure they are the same. As an example, do you think CRT can detect someone using San's FOV Changer? It's not a cheat, but it's the same principle. Anyway, why the hell would FC tell you how to cheat on a public forum? It's not information that needs spreading around.

Hahaha, this thread is hillarious. It is great news that there are no plans for re-encrypting this game but to think that the lack of it is the reason the online community is dying, is complete bulldust.

Il-2 is a 10 year old game. It has done well and despite the best efforts of DT and the modding community, it is eventually going to fade out into a small dedicated community (or in our case, a dozen very tiny communities that support a plethora of incompatible subversions and modpacks)

Yes, IL2 is a ten year old game. I am of the mind that says, if a game has been going strong for 10 years and only strengthened as time has passed, it will only continue to do so in the future. Flight Sims are not like other game genres, something better doesn't hit the shelves every two months. The players range a very wide age group, people who started flight sims at age 14 will most likely still have an interest at 54. Unless the successor to CloD is as multi cultured in scope as IL246 is today, I will still be flying IL2 for a while after. I really think history will list IL246 as possibly the greatest combat flight sim ever made, but only time will tell. Even allowing for the fact that the political environment in the community would give the folks up in Washington, DC a run for their money, all in all everyone has the same goal in mind, for people to enjoy the game. That right there is what will keep us together!!!

I think this thread is useless, we will not encrypt, end of the story.
For sure we dont need an "hight risk of flame thread" like this, i saw too much forum war in the past and too much good modellers/modders stopping work on Il2 for this stupid things.

Well... I for myself like to check occationally, how public oppinions have developed over the time... so threads like this one are still interesting to me (if you can read beside the harsh tones).

To be honest those players like myself that quit online play at least partly because of the hacking (in many cases the player was probably already thinking of quitting for other reasons and hacking was the final straw) are unlikely to come back now even if encrypting was reintroduced.

Ill two cents but you have to sort the meens out yourself since I don't know a what encryption does to the game.

I and my fellow Sqd mates in EAF like to fly Scorched Earth campaign.
(I might be overexplaining this to much. Sorry if I sound condecenting)
This requires us History mod (HSFX), since the database behind the planning website need to 100% combatible with objects in IL-2.

Most of us fly Ultra Packs as well.

We like features that enhances realisme. To most of us the work of Olegs team and Team Daidalos are the soul and groundwork behind all the mods we fly.

We all have the install dance; Some because of their lack of computer skills and some because we have to use non-flying time to keep them flying

I wishes where horses I would wish for a perfect game where the Sim was updated automatically over the internet and mods was simi-automatically installed, just as it was in the FPS "Joint Operations" by Novalogic.

I would wish for a Sim that had a campaign system like Falcon or Enemy Engage. Grapihs like real life. Full size maps. A campaign system like SEOW.


But I guess I will have more luck by wishing for peace on earth
