That is why I am still here... Jolly, Wolf etc are doing a great job from what I can see of trying to keep the spirit of this mod community as straight up as possible and even though the initial hacking of the sim has "issues" that many of the anti mod crowd will always have problems with, you cant , not if you want to be honest... read through some of these posts here and not see that some of the mods that have been created are dreams come true for many. I have been hoping to get a way to skin static aircraft for years.... I look forward to flying over a base and seeing parked Redtail planes... or parked planes with accurate markings period. Even the sounds, although I personally dont have problems with the sounds I have.... but I can see where some might...
There will always be cheaters.. and as long as there is any kind of competition be it for dollars or just bragging rights at stake, there will always be someone who will be willing to cheat to win... That's why they have refs in professional sports..... but I have to believe from what I have seen here that the majority of the folks here just want to fly... and have a good time.
Until I see otherwise then I will keep visiting here and eventually I will be trying some of these mods.. but I just want to see how all this shakes out.
Finding a real viable way that is truly workable to insure the integrity of online play would make these mods explode into the entire community and go along long way to reassuring many many folks.
In the end most of the opposition to the mods is because of the potentuial for the online issues.. and I am sure that Oleg knew that all this was connected and he didnt have the time or resources to take away from new projects... after all... BoB is not the only thing 1C does... keep that in mind..... just a quick look at the front page of their forum will give you some idea of just how much is on their plate.... they arent sitting around waiting for us to make more demands on them... LOL..
