Il-2 MODs

[quote=Bearcat;63509]I disagree.. I agree in principle.. but considering that :

There has been a small group of people that anyone who has been around here for any length of time knows about, who have had the ability to hack the sim and kept it to themselves.. as far back as 3 or 4 years ago.

To your knowledge, are any of the original small group of hacker's affiliated with AAA, do any of them hold senior positions at that site?...I am just curious as to the early beginning's of, and the development of the mods site.

These mods are not perfect by a long shot, but they are artistic, ambitious, adventurous and soul fulfilling (for the junkies). These mods are definitely for the hard core fans, the forum followers, the whiners and the artistic contributors that are the essential body of what keeps this withering sim alive.

I believe that the mods overall, are a beneficial movement for the IL-2 sim and are helping to keep the IL-2 flame burning, but let us all not forget that the mod movement also has a reckless and somewhat anarchistic approach as well.

Don't misunderstand me, the AAA site has a proven degree of integrity, but they are not the IL-2 source developers and as such do not fully understand the full complexity of what they are dealing with, they're simply the scientists carving and analysing the alien remains (for want of a better analogy).

Personally, I don't believe 1c are giving this whole mod thing much more than a monthly glance to see if there is anything they may gain in the way of ideas from the raping of their original masterpiece. Frankly why should they care, they're the artists, everyone else is merely performing the role of a parasitic leech.

I enjoy the mods as well, but make no mistake when SoW arrives, the mods will stop dead in their tracks!! and quite frankly it will be time!

CS.

Thx for the good wishes guys. I'm lucky as my dose is small and rather mild for a chemotherapy so side-effects are almost negligable. I do not feel nauseous at all (thx to a medication I get before getting my "shot"

) so I guess I'm getting off lightly. Of course there are days when I do feel a little rough, but that's to be expected and can be tolerated. Only for shots to go now ...
