Any plans to finally get a re-crypting?

Exactly. To divide online and offline communities (where offline communities use mods on top of stock game) against each other is not good for IL2.

I am happy to hear there is no plans for encryption. I am both online and offline player and appreciate whataver is done to enrich this game. Encryption only impoverishes the game. Customization is of great value. As onliner, cheaters are not such big concern to me. Just arrange online games with serious squadrons. and crt=2 is more than enough currently.

So, because it is allegedly easier to cheat on an unencrypted game it means encryption is good? no.

It is easier for certain types of social problems to prosper in democratic countries than in totalitarian ones... does it mean dictatorships are better for us citizens to live in? obviously not. Same goes for cheaters and encryption.

online encryption-ortodoxists live more by fear than by reasons. IL2 as it has been up to now (after being unencrypted and thus customizable) is better than ever. Keep it that way, please, also for DM and FM. Otherwise how do we add completely new planes that require completely new FMs and DMs like the ones made by -for instance- Loku, CsoCso and Japancat (all 3 absolute lovers of this game)?

I do have full faith on TD work too, but unencrypted game is the way to go.
