Steam shouldn't be a problem for mods, I've used racing games on there with mods, no problem.

Do you play them online or offline?

For the sake of a fair online playability I really hope so decent, the sequel sfs files will be crypted far off the standard Il 1946 encryption.
Otherwise we will have the same modded situation, we got the past 3 yrs of Il2 1946.

First wills are good for sure, but at the end this finalizes again in a customization of FMs as everyone thinks is correct or prophitable for himself.
I for sure dont blame anyone sneaking into the sfs files, as it is a childsplay to change and load em ingame, at this point MG must be blamed for not crypting their files properly.

Btw isnt changing the files versus MG genreal terms and conditions? Never read them to be honest, but i can remember there was a big disput in early time with Oleg regarding modding and opening his files.


However....Pandoras Box ........

Please can someone mod the trees and landscape to start with?!? I have no idea how to MOd but this kind of mod will not affect anyone except it will look better. Doesnt give anyone some sort of advandtage... I read that the trees have an extremely high resolution. Well i understand that if the game would also be made for ground vehicles but since that is not the case can somone lower the tree resolution to 512 maybe instead of 2048...(if i remember correctly) I dont think we will see the diff when we fly at 500km/h...
This might lower stuttering and increase FPS...

What if someone modded their ground to be a blank white texture? They would have much better spotting than anyone else. A change in colour for one person might mean better spotting- this is why CloD uses VAC so that modified files get bans (I dont know if VAC is live on CloD yet). If people are going to play online they need to be seeing the same as everyone else to a large degree.

Similar problem in ARMA when people turned off grass so people in bushes were just plainly visible.
