I know this is a big deal to the modders as they feel they saved IL2 1946 but the numbers
just show thats not so. Pre mod early 2008 always had between 9-14 hundred onliners on
weekends down to current 3-4 hunded onliners mostly using the must have mod servers.

I for one will not buy this sim if moders are allowed to run amuck again.

i think the mod situation is a give and take.Some like them and some dont.i agree with the fact that there were more people flying when we were all using same version (NO mods) like in the Pacific fighter days. but i dont know or can prove if they have declined because of mods. I think it declined because the game got old.
As for the mods ruining the game? i dont think so because "some" mods have been approved and are being used by the "TD" crew who bring us the patches from what i understand.
but..i do know that Cliffs of Dover is open to mods from what i have read in forums.

According to Oleg iirc the plan was to have officially approved mods (that can not be used for cheating) compatible with Steam VAC and not official mods that can be potentially exploited by cheaters that you can use on your own risk. I think we will be there one day.

Oleg's concern was that CFS2 online was ruined by uncontrolled moding. Thus it will be controlled.
