Sounds good.... i had cancelled my preorder but will buy the game as soon as FFB is implemented... no FFB = no buy.

I realise you cannot give specifics, while I didn’t mean the no ssao mod specifically, there are mods that already change in game textures and remove mipmaps in an attempt to improve performance, surely these are going to trip the same code that checks for texture changes affecting the rendered image. Unless you are going to check each report with the mk1 eyeball surely there is a risk of a vac ban using this type of mod.

Some of steams Vac bans have been a little overzealous in the past, because of mods taken online, and while I have never suffered from it myself others have and steam are non too keen to revoke bans once they are in place.

Oh and to add to what others keep saying, we really need FFB, I for one will not play until its included and would rather play ROF which has ffb.

Just to add, the SDK is released by the developers so that a third party can make legitimate content for the sim. By using the SDK the 'moders don't have to crack or hack the game.

Cheers!
