Alright, can someone please explain to me what is possible with modding this game? Alot of people have cried "cheater" already and I am curious as to whether cheating is actually possible... lots of discussion going on about this subject...
Help would be appreciated.
If you take some time and look through this forum you'll se that there's a lot of things that can be fixed/improved with this tools.
I hope you are not looking for cheating tools.
As Bomber already indicated, i think you'll find the people on this website are actually 'anti-cheat'.
They are 'Pro-expansion'.
I haven't even tried the mods yet, i'm watching with interest however. I haven't had the time to fire up my gaming rig, download, and install the mods and enjoy since this all began, but i look forward to it.
I and 99% of the rest of the community, i suspect, is not interested in messing with the FM/DM's of the existing OM aircraft, despite some glaring long term inconsistancies and bugs. It's better to tolerate the existing FM/DM's than mess with them and ruin gameplay for everyone offline, or online.
Not to say this hasn't happened .. but i haven't seen it here.
i agree, we discourage anything or any requests that affect the FM's and Weapon load outs of planes, we have spoken to some top of the list servers and i have said that any known FM cheater's names and IP's will be passed around the community to deter online cheating. There is a fine line that if crossed can kill il-2 and we are aware of that and try to limit access where it is risky.
Sounds like this is my type of community then, as I am into realistic mods and not far fetched.
One thing I encourage modders to work on is some sort of tool that allows servers to choose which mods can work on their servers and which ones cannot... thus making mods more flexible with more communities.
this would be great, and thought of already, idea from Mr Jolly, about having the game host upload the flight models to all players that join, so what ever flight model the user has it is overwritten with the servers version. Unfortunately, i think this would require the game re-writing.
Some things do get past CRT=2, not sure what, the community, i feel needs to work together, spot cheaters and report them or list them on a central area and have every one Ban that name/ip.

It took me awhile to join this site. I asked about how you can stop people joining my server because I knew some of my squad had it, anyway, after reading all those sad posts at UBI saying 'Mr Jolly' & the folks here that makes the Mods are dissing Oleg etc I thought I'll look into it.
.........and all I can say is: Thank you, Mr Jolly and gang 8)
The 1st thing that jerked me off was the fact that Oleg said that 'realistic' Engine Sounds was not possible with the IL-2 Engine - rubbish :roll: Hearing a Spitfire with a 'Merlin' or a 109 with a 'DB' is better then having sex............ok, maybe thats just my sex life then lol :lol:
To me it makes the game like it should have alway's been 8)
But the fact that we now have 'Flyable' P-36's, Me-210's (My Fav Mod Plane 8) ), the Hs-126's and many more has really got me back into this game again as the only time I played this was when I was hosting at HL as I found it becoming a bore
As for cheating with the FM's, well I don't see any of that, as I see this Mod the same way as if I had the Mircosoft's Flight Sims; Combat or otherwise with their 3rd party add ons.
