What this reminds me of sometimes is like Prometheus. He stole fire from the gods and gave it ti man.... Now prometheus in the eyes of the gods was wrong and needed to be punished... and he was.... layed out on that rock with the bird eating his liver for all eternity.. Hower the gods with all their power could not take fire back from man... and man could not be faulted one bit for using the tool provided by Prometheus.

I hope that 1C will look at some of the stuff coming from AAA and incorporate what can be incorporated or at the very least give the nod to some of the stuff coming out of there... because it isn't all bad....

With all due respect, I think that you should consider resigning your moderator position over at ubi...condoning hacking is a no no for the staff

You want his job, huh?


Crack will never be legalized. You know that and you probably know several reasons why it won't happen.

The pure fact that it's fun to use and some people put a lot of work in it doesn't mean it would do a better job as a legal thing.

Bah. Bear is right in a sense -- some of these mods NEED to be in Oleg's sim from the narrow standpoint of offering the customers a more immersive product, other objections aside for the moment. Its taken 5 years, but we are finding that Oleg's sim is not CFS3, and that Oleg is not Microsoft. I just looked at the AAA forum, clouds specifically, and the modders seem to be making advances in the sim that could have kept Oleg's customer base more interested in his base product over the decade.

"If only" Oleg had added many of these AAA created features years ago, or better, offered modding tools without a hack required....many asked, and were called "cheaters" on another forum...well, as I always say: maybe for BoB And Beyond.

Come on now I dont agree with that at all,mods are allowed to have an opinion too,and it doesnt have to be whatever there'd told it has to be by the powers that be.

they aren't yes men,nor should they be.

p.s. and this isnt the UBI baords
