Actually not correct. The Check system that Oleg introduced in the IL-2 FORGOTTEN BATTLES and its sequels, if enabled, allowed the server to check the player's install vs the server install, and worked well.

And regarding the tools:

I am not asking for tools to allow modding of existing aircraft flight models, I am asking for tools to allow the creation of new cockpits to go with the existing aircraft and their existing flight models, as well as the creation of new maps, objects etc.

This is what Oleg and Luthier, (Ilya Shevchenko) promised.

As it seems questionable at this point whether we will actually get a sequel, why not release the keys to what tools have been made and let us as a community work on improving the game.

The company can only stand to gain in sales and income. Right now the game is flatlined as far as sales are concerned, they can only improve.
