In my opinion, the problem is more than cheating. It's more of the general feeling and quality control of the game. Graphics comes in a second place for a flight sim in my opinion (I think most hardcore IL2 fans agree with me on this).
The modded IL2 can never gave me the feeling of original IL2. If you have flown online in The Greater Green server back in 2005 and spits and 109s since its birth, you'll understand what I mean. As for me, the air combat itself, tactics and teamwork attract me more than graphics.
Second, what TD has said before, mods are made by different modders with different point of view on flight simulation and limited understanding of the game structure under different working environments (monitor color accuracy for example). In a word, the congregated game lacks consistency.
For this reason, I have confidence in the future of IL2 managed by TD.
Finally, I suggest with a win-win solution for the re-crypting of IL2. Mod community can still mod 4.101 (or 4.11) as they like. But starting from 4.12, IL2 will be encrypted to save the dying online community.
