hi guys , as this is my first post id like to thank Oleg for the masterpeice "IL2 " an obsolute masterpeice which ive been playing for years. Thanks man!
Secondly i cant belive you guys , i mean your like ostriches, burying you head in the sand over the the whole prospect of mods. I too was like you , mods are bad, stay clear , will bring an end to online dogfights. but after carefull consideration i took the plunge and just had a peek at what was goin on. The lads at All Aircraft Arcade have done a wonderful job of updateing this ageing game. The sounds are truely amazing( even though some work still needs to be done) cockpits have been re-painted to a high standard, start up smoke from exhaust stacks are a few mods that credit the game.
Unfortunatly you will get idiots who are born loosers that want the quick route to become an ace. but you would get that in any game.. You guys should look at what they have done.. Im sure oleg would be impressed, they have brought this old game up to date.

thanks!

Just a quick reply with no flaming or slagging.

IMHO most of the mods have been nothing but a boost for this (aged) game, prolonging it for a good few years.
Lots are very good (maps, A/C, effects etc) while some are, to say the least, 'dodgy', however at the end of the day it is up to the individual to decide one way or another.

Me, 100% for them

Hacking this sim was bad idea! It only increased the work load for Oleg, and delivered the eliment of doubt for on-line competition.

One small point which I think has bin vastly overlooked...in order to use the mods you have to have had the Doovde version of the game as the the download version didnt work with the mods , enough said on that matter as it speaks for its self in terms of sales . AAA have done a good job at keeping a lid on the cheating and have done alot more in terms of atracting new commers to the genere and keeping them immersed and interested in what was a very outdated game by todays standards , its true to say that if I was OLeg I would have bin very angry at somone crackin my game , but I think now he may be using it as a bench mark of what people expect from his future products , this is Jafa ,hoping for better sounds in Storm of War , signing off....

I'm not saying that the mods are done poorly, some might be quite good. I am saying that when you have a sim with a large on-line following. People need to show some respect for the community at large. They need to sacrifice what could be, so that all will have faith that the sim is secure, and fair to one and all. To burden 1C with the extra work, only effect's the lot of us, with longer wait time for what we want, 4.09, and SOW

[MD_Wild_Weasel]

slipball, how can this be a burden to 1C? Oleg has already stated that he needs to turn his attention to BOB. 409 is way down on his 2 do list . and if you think he still is ,how long does he want from beta release, Its been a year maybe?
anyway AAA have done a good job with keeping things above board as much as they can..
Also food for thought , the code was cracked and released by a russian . go figure

Channel Map is fantastic work, and it has brought new life to a sim long forgotten about by its creator. Well done modders.
