Either use them or don't... If it helps great.. if not then I tried. Id rather offer up a candle than curse the darkness.

5 Points for Online Flying in a MODified virtual world.

1. All servers on Hyperlobby MUST be listed in their discriptions as Mod Friendly or Mod Free. In a Mod Free server NO MODS OF ANY KIND AT ANY TIME WILL BE ALLOWED. Period.
This is to be done by server admins, whether dedicated or COOP and is to be honored by all who join the servers.

2. All flyers are to follow the guidelines of the server they are joining. If you are one of the many folks with two installs, and you forget to switch to the unmodded version and you actually do get into a Mod Free server you are HONOR BOUND to leave and reenter with the proper version.
If you do not use the mods and you go into a Mod Friendly server do not complain or sling accusations of cheating etc. if you see something that is out of the ordinary. The odds are good that you will not notice anything unusual.. but if you do either leave the server or deal with it.

3. Upon entering a server whether Mod Friendly or Mod Free you will respect the the other flyers on the server, adhere to the mission goals in the case of a COOP or scripted DF server. In the case of a squadron in a Team Room you will ask permission to join the room before entering.

4. Where possible you will get on comms if the server has them.

5. The goal for most of us I am sure is to have fun and survive first. Therefore You will NOT team kill or kill steal. (Touching on number 4..) Any issues with other fliers in this regard will be settled as adults.. not as children and NOT in the server chat. In this regard if you see a pilot already on a target DO NOT shoot over his/her shoulder to get to it.

These are suggestions for enhancing our online simming in the current environment that we are in. They are not hard and fast rules and have no way of being enforced save by ones own decision making process. If more people abide by them than do not.. we will have a less stressfull online environment.

This post is neutral on the issue and is solely posted for the establishment an online environment that everyone can fly in. Whether or not it works is up to us.

Sadly this game, just as Jane's WWII Fighters, CFS and others is DOOMed
by the cheating punks.
People using mods will never follow the rules, that's why they cheat.

Better to curse the darkness, at least it does not laugh back at you.
