(Ratbstrd) 21 years and thousands of dollars in monthly subs I got pushed out :(

You will have way more fun in DCS. Especially if you like Helicopters.

Helicopters in DCS are awesomely fun but then again DCS is a blast even with the free player made mods like the A4 ov10 uh60 and t45 to name a few.

I do not use the non DCS mods. I mainly fly in Enigmas cold war server or Tempests Blueflash server as they are both PvP servers. The only bots are the ground targets.

Helo Vs Helo is where it is at for me. Guns N Rockets all day

Upvoting this one.   

  Just cool down and rethink everything and then come back to the game. It is fun and you know a lot of people here. Just be more mindful of stuff and let it go.

I suspect the "mods" will continue to run off people until this game goes the way of warbirds.

Hasn't it already? I'm here from time to time just to check the temp. A flight sim game is all about updates, new features, improvements. On the other hand, one single bad judgement by some mod in 20 years? That's for sure is no reason to go IMO. DCS, IL2, that's where things are happening these days, although I would really love to see something happening with this game as well.

Well definitely at least one that charges a subscription.  I mean I guess that applies to any software not just flight sims.

In my 20+ years, i have never had a run in with them.

I had one mute and deserved it.  But let's blame mods for the "demise" of the game...

The Damned has 2 PVE training servers with some PVP (Day and Stormy Night), 2 PVE campaign servers (Syria and Persian Gulf), and a WWII PVE server (Marianas). We haven't gotten that big into PvP yet and most of us hit other servers to fill the need for PVP drama.

On our training servers we have the T45 Trainer,  A4E-C, C-130 Hercules, UH-60L, OV-10A Bronco, and the A-29B Super Tucano enabled but you do not need them to play on our servers. All of these free player made mods are pretty solid and fairly accurately modeled. That being wrote, we will not use mods that require another mod or are super top secret aircraft you can't possibly get accurate due to the specs being super classified like the F-22 and F-35.

The Damned squadron in DCS has grown to about 12 regularly active players and several less active players. We still have a few AH players in the game and we have a few guys that dabble in Il2 star citizen and Arma III.

We are considering getting involved in some official DCS competitions like SATAL and a few of us Rotor heads are considering entering Virpils Shadow's Trophy Helicopter competition.

Throwing away the fun you have had, and the fun you were looking forward to with your kids over a 2 hour mute is foolish, but hey, its your decision.

Can't agree. Sometimes you get pushed over the edge. The last straw, etc. There are many many other fun things out there in life, and if a mod makes you want to make a statement I 100% support finding other things to do.
I've had a few mod issues in the past, even though I never use foul language or whatever and avoid politics. They seem capricious and pleased to use their power.
Of the many things that are slowly bringing this game to an end, mod abuse is in the top ten.

If Dale isn't going to grow the game any longer then he should open it up to free play and let folks donate via paypal to keep the servers running, and to buy him food and booze.  Its no longer worth subscribing to, and certainly not for 14 bucks a month, the game is stagnated completely (except for skins, which doesn't cost Dale a penny).  I mean, I would chip in ten bucks every other year or so.....  Just to be able to pop on once every three or four months.  Anyway, just a thought.

[JimmyD3]

Wow $14.00 a month, most of us lose that in loose change every month. Don't like the game? Fine but please, don't try to ruin it for me. Tired of the non playing whiners, whining all the time.

[Eagler]

Best 1 hour distraction going for the $$$ these days

Nothing needs to change except map size to sub count imo

[nopoop]

A whole fourteen dollars a month ?????

Anyone putting out FOURTEEN DOLLARS A MONTH is crazy !!

The horror....

Agreed.

14 bucks for an hour, maybe two a month?  and quite a few months over the last few years with zero hours played, just to preserve perks and a game id?  nah.  Not for a game that is no longer being developed...  Put some time into it or sell it to someone who would develop the game further.
