Hello IL2 Fans,
Most of you may know me as the author of the Newbie's Guide to IL2 Online Dogfighting but I would also like to make some other contributions to the IL2 community. One of the projects I am working on is a cheat detecting program that will be a free download to all and will work in conjunction with Hyperlobby to monitor the dogfighting/coop servers and other players for mods and/or cheats. Despite all the work done on the 4.08 and 4.09b patches to prevent cheating it has been my unfortunate experience to see that there are a few who have circumvented these protective measures. I already have most of the program written and some of the bugs worked out but I will need everyone's help for better detection. Please post here if you can any information about known hacks, cheats, sound mods or other mods so that I can include those detection algorithms in my source code. If you know of a hack but do not want to mention it here, please send me a private message.

Thanks,
Jay

With CRT=2? I think you need to prove your statement first.

so with that you mean that Cheating is the same as using a soundmod?

thought CheckRunTime=2 would do it.

Yeah, no offense, but the check runtime modes are easily crackable. I have never really used Punkbuster before, but I want to work towards a small lightweight client that integrates with IL2 and HL and consumes very little resources. The sound mod to me is not a cheat per se, but unfortunately it has opened up a window for allowing others to do so.

Any help would be appreciated with this project,
Thanks - Jay

Surely this is against the forum rules of discussing "the dark side"?

No Offence guys, just don't want to see any problems arise from this thread

Actually this very thread might be the solution to all the problems

Btw anybody who thinks CRT=2 is a protection is either highly naive or hoplessly uninformed...

I'm still waiting for someone to prove that cheating is a problem, at all.

Ask the admins of the top 2 Hyperlobby servers how many cheats they've encountered in the last year. And that's with mods openly allowed.

Flight simmers just aren't really cheaters IMO. The occasional baddie will quickly lose interest in a game with a curve like this. Much ado about nothing so far as I can tell.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not baggin on you for trying to do good for the community. I just think the community has benefited 2000x more FROM the mods, than it has been adversely affected by any supposed cheaters.

You guys been to the "other sides" forums lately? The scope of work and effort and activity is just awesome. Sharp contrast to this place, these days.

I think we'll leave this to Oleg and 1C.
I'm a member of the No-Mods/No-Cheaters club

+1 to what Dusty said though i do see a need for ppl to be sure that no-one useing the sound mod is in their server if they dont want them to be,although I'm still waiting for the sky to fall as a result of it all.

This program will be optional with servers in hyperlobby right? surely it wont just be applied to every server who's useing hyperlobby.

Sorry guys. Discussion on this is still a no,no.
