When IL2 was released, all the user made missions you joined online were stored there so you could fly them later and it was a real boon to online play.

Then the guys who wanted to sell mission packs got to someone and the missions that go into the cache folder were encoded so no one could use them.

In the early days of IL2 online play, many very good, free user made missions could be had from the cache folder, now you must find them online at Flying Legends or M4T or similar sites.

There is no lack of great, free missions for this game, we just cannot get them from the net/cache folder anymore.
