Il-2 MODs

[311thCopperhead]

Hmmmm what do i think about the Mods.

I think they suck. 1/2 @ss done trash by ppl who have next to zero idea what thier doing. the majority of wich are passing out cheat files in private amongst themselvs like thier halloween candy. All under the guise of "we're making the sim better". then they're asking for "DONATIONS" to thier web site.
they are taking a profit off of other peoples hard work. thier bleeding the life blood right out of the sim while at the same time draining Olegs pockets dry. and most of the garbage they've put out would never meet Olegs high standerds.
Not to mention they have even further devided a comunity that was already splinterd. If you choose to fly a CLEAN install online...good luck finding a server or a coop in with to do it. You can literally count on one hand the servers that specifiy they are mod free on one hand. and lets face it. not all of them are tha golden angels they claim to be. there are a great many of the mod users who are just out for the exploits and mod files so they can pad thier kill counts and thier egos.
CFS2 died becuse of BS like this in case anyone cares to remember. (not the only reason i know, but it was the contributing factor in it's down fall.)

As of tonight however it seems that thier web site is down. one can only wonder if it's due to thier web host shuting them down for failure of payment for the monster fees they have accumulated or if Oleg finally has had enough and had them shut down due to infringment. Whatever the case may be....good ridance. don't let the door hit ya in the @ss on the way out.

that's what i think about em. While ican't say that over at the UBIzoo anymore with out being threatend witha perma-ban...i can sure as heck say it here.

as for what Oleg thinks about it....was posted on another thread here.

and for those hack kids who seem to be deaf dumb and blind to olegs opinion on all this, in spite of his other open statements he made showing how damaging all this hack nonsense is.

from a recent russian forum post by oleg...

"В общем так. Будет 4.09, но не знаю еще когда. Там будет защита от хакеров нового типа. Вопрос в том, что это может иногда ухудшить скорость передачи данных. Мы могли это сделать и раньше, но не делали именно поэтому.
Мы могли вообще все на компьютере юзера проверять, но это было бы противозаконно (хотя наиболее просто и действенно...).
В общем мешают нам нормально БоБ-ом заниматься... Готовились только дополнение выпустить, а теперь придеться отложить... пока не сделаем, что сказал.
Не люблю я читеров.... И Ил-2 не предназначался для моддеров... Поэтому так долго и живет в онлайне..."

roughly translates as.... (ivan can maybe be more accurate)

"So - there'll be 4.09 patch, don't know how soon yet. 4.09 patch will have protection from this hack, but it will sometimes increase traffic load. We could do it before, but did not do it for this reason.
The easiest way - do some checks at client side, it will be very effective but illegally.
All this problems delay readiness of addon for IL-2 and BOB"
Also, Oleg said that he don't like cheaters and Il2 was not supposed to have mods. That's why it popular in online long time.


did the hack kiddies miss the points oleg made ?
- its delaying work on BoB !
- its delaying the 4.09 release for the rest of us
- the hack crap will be closed again shortly, so go back under the rock where you came from, and stroke eachother there without bothering the rest of us with your juvenile crap
- hacking files results in cheating online, and this makes il2 less popular in online use
- the new hack fix will increase BW demands, and could make it much harder for low BW people to play online
