Please Implement Steam VAC as soon as practicable...

[salmo]

I don't care if it's a G.50, I don't want to meet any hacked FMs online.

I know nothing of DDS files, but a google says that DDS files are DirectDraw Surface graphics file format which was established by Microsoft for use with the DirectX SDK. The format is specifically designed for use in real-time rendering applications, such as 3D games. It can be used to store textures, cubemaps, mipmap levels, and allows for compression. Publicly available DDS plugins are available for photoshop & gimp, so there's no secret here. I doubt that DDS files hold the FM's.

I have seen two posts were someone mentioned being able to see things that if changed would be a bad thing for online play.

Also, some players from the east are already tinkering with FMs, and playing online.

So, I'm done till VAC is implemented.

It took years for IL2 to be hacked, mere months for CLOD.

Luthier, stop this now.

This is great!
Mods are what made IL2 live as long and healthy a life as it has had, and maybe well finally get some corrected FM's for, well, just about everything! Lol!

Or just make your own FM....

If Il2 didn't had stayed un-hacked so long, it would never had reached its ripe age.

Toward the end the hack/mods prolonged the end, but also split the community.

Imho.

Gents, let's not devolve into a mods vs. vanilla discussion OK?

That is not what this is about. We already know that mods will be welcomed once the SDK is released and the system for secure mod free servers is sorted. I have no issue with that.

This is about people making online UFOs and flying them NOW. On servers that have no ability to exclude them.

It's happening, it's real, and it has nothing to do with mod making. It's a group of juvenile delinquents ruining the gameplay of regular users.

Is there any physical evidence of this, something like a track? I know I haven't been flying much lately, but the only UFO's I am dealing with are Spit IIa's. Maybe I am just being lucky...

I play practically every day at ATAG and Repka dogfight servers and I have yet to encounter any UFO FMs, unless you count Spit IIa
