Thanks for your quick replies guys.
Assuming there are no other issues, do AAA intend to declare a position so as to provide a common stable basis for running their mods?
e.g. the Zuti thing. Presumably from what you say 1.2 incorporates "ZUTI DSMod v0.8 RC3.5" (whatever that is) so why would Zuti's final version be of concern? Presumably the 1.2 servers are in line? Is it something some people are likely to install over the top of 1.2? And why would a server put an aircraft on the map that is not in 1.2? Are some people randomly adding other mods?
This is always the problem with unofficial mods, they spawn add-ons and changes like Topsy. It would be good for AAA to take an 'official' position, declaring a 'constant' version, and ask for servers to declare it.
AAA have put themselves very popularly in the position of being a community 'centre of excellence' and if the community is to avoid being split by a myriad of mixed add-ons it would be nice if AAA could ask servers to implement their mods responsibly so that we don't end up with a dogs breakfast. It looks as though Warbirds of Prey are doing just that and declaring very clearly what they are doing, limiting their mods to 1.2 with CRT=2 implemented. It would be nice to see a definition on HL servers like "AAA Vanilla 1.2" or "AAA 1.2 CRT=2" so we know what we are looking at.
Many thanks again though guys, I'll watch how the servers develop before I install 1.2.
