Falke, it is an alternative to what you seem to be complaining about here. I could go either way.

Well, Like it or not it has certainly breathed new life into an older Sim and I suspect it will continue for some time yet.
One point though.....I think that given Oleg's resources and time constraints....now we have people all over the world simultaneously producing new maps etc which Oleg's team would have neither the time, people nor money to do in such a short timespan. I'm sure if he could have done them he would have eventually. If I were him I would just be quietly contented about my achievements and legacy......I can see one day in the future when there will be statues dedicated to him as the founder of modern flight sims if his work continues at this quality and rate.
I also don't quite understand the view on cheating, because you only play with your friends whom, I would have thought, would have no wish to cheat you. So any 'cheaters' would end up banned and with no-one to play with anyway.
Best regards,
Pike.

Mod cheating is a potential theoretic threat to anonymous public servers, especially to Newbies to the sim before they find friends to play with. However, as of now it seems the old rumours of the "online" sim's demise had been greatly exaggerated....so far...
Beautifully said Pike. Those are not just "nice words," you also help us prove false the idea that modders or mod users
in general are insulting Oleg on the forums. Perhaps some are out of honest frustration or dishonest jealousy. I can see the breathing of new life into the sim. Looking at the simhq boards, it seems there are people buying the sim specifically with the intention of modding up -- as a replacement for EAW perhaps (not sure).
