I believe that in time, not too long a time, all of this division will be a thing of the past.
I hope I'm right.
Most of the hard liners biggest concern has been directed toward the online cheaters.
There have been cheaters flying online from what I can gather for several years now.Hopefully not that many. Then there are the goofs that somehow find a way to ruin good missions online,mostly because they have no sense of history whatsoever,and are there for laughs at everyone elses expense.
I've only ventured online a few times and my personal experience was not great with IL2.
The only time I really enjoyed flying online was when Warbirds was in all it's glory before EAW.
That was a lot of fun.Well organized.
I have been a member of SimHQ ever since 2001.
There are a lot of good folks over there.The forum is organized,run fairly and I understand "Why" they have taken the position that exists at present.
1. They haven't wanted to officially support anything that would be illegal, and as Oleg is a member over there and has been for years, they havent' wanted to hurt his feelings for sure.
Dont forget that if it hadn't been for his vision of creating this Sim way back when we were all flying EAW then we all certainly wouldn't be here today.
I'm sure he hasn't been happy,however I do believe that he is a realist and is not vindictive.
If he was, we would all would have known about it by now for sure.
I really have enjoyed using these mods.I feel like others that they have pumped new life into this great sim.
Some feel that Oleg has let them down and doesnt care....Thats "Bull". On the contrary,I do not believe that at all.
I believe for Oleg and his team,it's almost the same as a recording artist or a band .
You spend a lot of time writing, rehearsal,pre recording re arranging,more rehearsal,and by the time you spend the six weeks or so in the studio, recording,then mixing,then Mastering,and it's finally done.....If your creative and productive as a writer player,you have already moved on.
I'm going through that process right now in my own life,however you still have to get out there and play for everyone who has never heard this music for It's all new to them.
Oleg has given us about a half a dozen free patches and fix's along the way .He just isn't looking back anymore. He has other more important creative stuff to look after.Thats reality and creative movement.
Make no mistake about it......
4.09 was a gift to all of us from him and his team. He didn't have to do this at all. Did he?
I believe the hard feelings and the divisions will be put aside soon.
There are many folks who are looking over here,some already are here with New User Names LOL
Others dont feel threatened of being scolded.
I think everything is going to be just fine,and the Sims longevity will be a fact.
Hey,look whats happened with EAW.
I think there should be no whining,or bad feelings.It is totally counter productive and serves no purpose.
We are all a lucky bunch.
