VAC is a server side setting. Recently servers started to use it.

However VAC needs correct definitions to catch cheats. Please if you are concerned about cheaters and VAC contact Steam and inform them of some methods of changing game files (e.g. send them files from the mod section of the forums). If you did not inform Steam I am sure they will not be looking for CloD cheaters themselves. This is how Punkbuster works too: players report cheats to them and they add them to DB.

No point to post about VAC here IMO.

well ataros,...if you have an idea, why not start yourself and inform steam?
i for example have no clue how they do it, and i bet im not the only one...so in my opinion there is a point in discussing it here...

but on the other hand,...ive seen some threads, which refer to very good pilots and the suspicion of cheating....fact is, there are aces out there who will kill you within seconds, too fast that you realise what your mistake was...

Yes. I haven't played CoD online yet, but I used to play FB/1946 online a lot. I never cheated, but was accused of it many times. If you play well, keep up your speed and energy and use height to build up power and have a good eye for a shot you can easily be called a cheat. People should be careful before they accuse someone of it. It is very unpleasant to be on the receiving end of such an accusation.

[David198502]

yeah ive been accused of cheating as well many times already in cliffs of dover...
its really unpleasant, as you cant really prove your victims wrong...especially when cheating is possible...

I have no idea and do not think cheating is a problem (yet). Those who do think it is should provide any proof and report it to Steam. E.g. someone in that thread http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=35197 mentioned he flew with 109 and Spit mods online with his 2nd account. Mods are posted on the forum in the Mods section. I replied in that thread that he should report this case to Steam if he wants it fixed. Anyone can try and do this if wants to, otherwise these discussions are only promoting cheating (as potential cheaters learn from them that they might be not caught) IMHO.

well you seem to ignore my posts, and what i was acutally saying....

the video i linked is a proof that it already happened, so its definitely not a pure rumour like you suggested...

i posted as well, that there are many false accusations, of people who just dont want to understand that there are better pilots out there than themselves...
so you are talking to the wrong guy here...

i fight almost on a daily bases most of the people who are suspected by some to cheat, and all i can say about them is, that they are just damn good pilots, and that its good fun to fight them...S! you russian aces

and furthermore, im also of the opinion, that its not a real problem like it is right now...
just like notafinger said,....ignorance is more of a problem than cheating right now.

Sorry, did not watch the video, short of time a bit. Is it VAC protected server? What settings it has? Latest version? It could be a privately run modded server? If you have any info please report to Steam. I do not know the procedure but it should be the same for all Steam games.

Cheating was possible in Il-2 too for many years(although denied by MG) but all cheaters I have heard of were just good players. That is why I do not think it is a problem yet.

ATAG set VAC on only after recent patch IIRC.

[David198502]

well interesting that atag just activated it now with the recent patch....why didnt they do before?
because of the beta patches?

[addman]

Just because some people haven't seen any cheaters doesn't mean that there are none. Anti-cheating protection should be a top-priority in the future il-2 games, considering they'll probably will be primarily online oriented titles. Clod, as we all know, is a lost cause ATM.
