IL2 and Sound Modding

[Beowulf]

4.09 is in the works. Oleg hasn't abandoned this series, yet. SOW is still vaporware IMHO and may never happen!!!

Even the mere discussion of this stuff here is supporting the Hackers and making their Napoleon complexes grow.

Stop the madness, Stop talking about the Hacks and let 1C and Maddox do what they need do to put the AAA site out of commission.

The community ought to start a global list of anyone flying in the AAA server and post up the thread for all to know who supports hackers. If your a Offline pilot what will it matter since it is the Online that has the chance of being compromised...

Beowulf,

Your proposal sounds vastly exhaggerated. I'm an online pilot and I don't feel threatened at all neither by modders nor by people flying on AAA. Let proscription lists where they do belong .... the sewers of humanity.

Oleg has said he is dropping the game. He just has one minor patch in the works and it is by-by for him. The only people that are getting their panties in a knot are the on-line dweebs that cry like little girls whenever they get shot down. Then they call...CHEAT!!

Dear All,
Quite honestly I don't have an opinion about hackers. All I can say is as I see it, in England a man's home is his castle. When you buy something it is yours to do with what you like. I cannot personally get used to the idea that you buy something that is actually still not yours even after you pay good money for it. Once you have paid for it the makers have their money and let's face it they even set the price for it.
With regard to the arguement about 'cheaters', if people know each other then why should they cheat?
Best regards,
SLP

With all due respect. You pay a few bucks for software that has taken countless manhours to produce and develop and you actually believe its yours to do whatever you like. Maybe in your own home, were nobody knows or cares, but the problem here is people are taking out on the web, etc.

[ElAurens]

The folks who did this and the one's who use it should be quashed with every legal means possible.

End of story.

The fact has no influence on the law whatsoever.Funny how you people don`t like others calling it by name: crime.

The only people that are getting their panties in a knot are the on-line dweebs that cry like little girls whenever they get shot down.

A bit more complicated I`m afraid.The issue is not online/offline related. It is EULA/intellectual law related.
Anyone saying that Oleg Maddox doesn`t care about his intellectual laws being broken is either stupid or has an interest in saying so.

Then they call...CHEAT!!

Nice thing about trying to picture those respecting Oleg as people with psychical equilibrium problems.
It`s quite obvious that folks blaming Oleg for the whole thing let alone ingoring his personal laws need some help.

Everyone`s freedom goes as long way as it does not offend anyone else`s freedom.

A standard rule for every of today`s civilized society.

The weak link in your analogy is that you didn't hack a file for your own personal use. If it was just that there'd be no problem. It wouldn't possibly cause problems on line.... It wouldn't cause a schism in the community. Your house would stand fine.

Someone else hacked the files and supplied the means to that hack for other players, thus affecting more than the 'house' you bought. It's caused a mentality and aura of suspicion. it showcases arrogance by the hackers blaming Oleg. AND if memory serves me Oleg said there would be possible 3rd pparty measures for the fututre of IL2. (Not positive) So it potentially affected his income.....


I have no personal opinion on any one who uses it, but I wish the persons who hacked the game would be honest and just say they hacked the game because they wanted to, NOT because the sounds were bad. That's the excuse. Not the reason

Hell if you're gonna hack.....fix the damn AI.



EDIT: I should say IMPROVE the AI. For a 6 year old game that started with a limited plane set and limited objectives, it's done fairly well. But I'm expecting more.... MUCH more with BoB. TYVM.

Rgr me too.... and I think that hacked it not because they wanted to alone but because it was a challenge.... this was the only unhacked cfs ion the market.... and it stayed that way a long time.... but it first got hacked @ 2 years ago I think... it wasn't a major thing until it was made public.... then AHBL..
