VAC should prevent this...

Don't really see this as a problem. Servers would need to run these "FM fixes" anyway and i don't see that many CloD servers that would run horrible wrong mod packs like these.

This sim is already dead, unless you've noticed.

Then i don't get why you're worrying about those game "improvements" anyway.

Especially in MP, it doesn't look that "dead" to me.

My only problem with mods is that they split the community and no one ever agrees with FM's so mods only breathe extra life into a product nothing else..

Ideally the mod tools should be available to everyone, and the servers should have the ability to exclude players that don't have a "Repka mod pack" or, possibly, a slightly different "ATAG mod pack" (to address and respect any small differences that the respective Server Admins have decided what FM mods best fits the needs of their respective community).

So offline, a player CAN have a "Mach 2 Hurricane" -- with 8 cannons if he so wishes -- yet to fly on an online server only a server-approved/designated mod pack can be used. I don't know if the files.sfs folder can be pre-screened by a server at this point.

I agree with snaper

In my view the CLOD is the simulator more realistic in terms of FM along with XP, do not have another SIM that I can compete with these two simulators.
In addition We can not let the CLOD die, if the speculations are certain negative.

Please release in a timely SDK!

thank you

If parts of the rumors are true about a "modified" business model you'll never see an SDK.

Talking about FMs is weird anyway regarding this topic, because modding the FMs is possible for months already.

This is not going to happen boys and girls. No sense to even go there.

If the source is released it will not be until the devs are sure there are no possibilities to sell the source to someone else or the code is hacked.

That will take time, or some risk taking persons to take chances. The code is proprietary and that has protections.

Pretty much accurate.

However, if nothing else this forum has taught me that no matter how dead or redundant or historically buried something is, there will be a devout core of believers...not only believers, but a whole meshed network of discussion centred around various absurd fantasies.

So...you have a dead game, driven by a bandaged engine, officially pronounced dead even by the devs themselves...and people arguing the theoretical toss about likely fall-out from code modifications on an engine where the code is not only reasonably inept, but unavailable to boot.

Marvellous

Add to this some hope, die-hard fans, and hard-of-hearing Mod activity, and you have...another haccident-waiting-to-happen

Marvelous, bleeding marvelous

Only here.

I guess you have not played DCS.....

If the SDK doesnt get hacked or released, CLoD will die, no doubt about it. On the flipside, if it does come out, will there be enough talented people still around to do anything with it?

Until then, i'm having a great time in ATAG servers, with amazing missions, stats, lots of great stuff.

Everybody dies someday...
