IL2 and Sound Modding

I still keep thinking back to the no cd/no dvd files thing. If nothing else then putting them into my game folder made me a hacker in the true sense of the word.

Well from what I have seen the only mods that I am even interested in are the ones thatare acually more like utilities.. the one that might add a new map or two.... or three etc... or the one that will let you change default skins.. I dont know how it workls but I was told that it changes the skins for the static planes.. which is something that I have wanted for a long long time in here.. but.. as I said.. I am still in wait and see mode... I really would have no need for a lot of what I have seen coming out from AAA.. I only fly a handfull of planes in here now as it is.. and the stock sounds are ok to me... I really really hope that Oleg takes a bit of time for a few days to at least say something about this..

was that not a genuine fix for a problem, issued by the developer and publisher?

Oh? I never saw an official release announcement about that.Up to about 2 weeks ago it was a banning offence to mention no cd files on the ubi forum.Still might be.It was considered a hack,even though the majority of users had it.

No, it was official......meant to help those with cd/cdr drive/software promlem's

It became official quite some time after it was originally released...I guess UBI thought it was too late to shut the stable door after the horse had bolted! But for quite some time any threads mentioning it were deleted and users discussing it suspended.
Same thing with the removal of "securom" copy protection that was bundled with Pe2.
No-one within the IL2 community raised any objection to modding the game in these respects...though in terms of financial impact to a company - any software publisher is going to treat bypassing copy protection/anti-piracy methods far more serious than user-modification of the game for gameplay purposes.

LOL....I can assure you that it was alway's an offical patch/fix....not a hack, adopted by 1C/UBI
