Hello IL2 community.

I am a IL-2 enthusiast and the provider of =FN=War_Server (UI 1.2 + Zuti08Final), and it is wonderfull how much mods are making this sim better, but there is something not going very well.
Today there is so much mod packs nobody nows what to download anymore. You have a option to have 3-4 IL-2 installations or you will not able to join THAT server or THIS server.

We are all mature people (i guess), and there is so much hard work involved on that mods what make me able to tell with sure. WE NEED TO WORK TOGHETER.

We need a UNIQUE MOD PACK.

Nobody take care if it will be called xpack or ypack, or who will have the credits. Everybody who works on this mods diserves the credits. We need to make the mod communities to come togheter in a way all efforts becomes centralized in a single bigger place with bigger community and bigger support.

All mod packs have something special and use eachother works.

All we need is to make that mods community leaders to work togheter because it can not became a (Mod Pack War).
Soon we will have one mod pack each week and all squadron will have one and then IL2 will be DEAD.

Take the pride feellings asside and lets walk side by side.

UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION !!!

Well, I am going to say something to you, but I hope you don't get offended. I really don't mean to hurt your feelings at all, but you did post your thoughts here and must expect people to comment on them.

Now, I agree with what you say......"UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION - UNIFICATION...".

However, look at what you have done with your server. You took UI 1.2 (which is a UNIFICATION Mod...exactly what you want for the community) and EDITED it. Thus, it is not the UI 1.2 any more. It may be YOUR UI 1.2, but it's certainly not the ORIGINAL UI 1.2. Basically, you created a new Mod Pack....something that you are preaching AGAINST in your post ("Today there is so much mod packs nobody nows what to download anymore"). If a player who has the default UI 1.2 wanted to join your server, they could not. This is exactly what you say is hurting the community.

You may say that you only changed one mod (Zuti08Final), but that means nothing. By doing so, you have created your own mod pack...something you yourself say is not good for the community.

Let's see what happens if 9 other servers do the same thing you did. Each server changes only one UI 1.2 mod, but each one changes A DIFFERENT mod. Now,
you will have 10 different servers with 10 different modded versions. If I can play on one, I can't play on the other 9 unless I edit my MODS folder. Even then, I can only play on one at a time until I again need to edit my MODS folder, or use some kind of switcher, or have multiple installs of IL-2, or any of the other methods the community uses to accomplish this.

As I stated earlier, I agree with you that we need UNIFICATION. However, you yourself broke that rule. You can't have it both ways. You can't cry for UNIFICATION and then create a server with a modified UI that is now a different version. You really can't call it a UI any more. The 'U' stands for Unified. If you edit/change a vital mod that requires the player to also edit/change their UI in order to join your server, it's no longer the community UI....it's YOUR UI.

Look, you can do what you like. You can edit the UI any way you like. You can call it anything you like. However, then don't go around wishing for UNIFICATION when you are actually part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Again, I apologize if my words may seem harsh or hurtful. I know a lot of people here do not like it if someone speaks their mind. My intention was not to put you down in any way. However, I really think this needed to be said. Good luck with your new server.
