The G11 is a nice keyboard bbloke, and I hope it gives you many hours of service. Be careful though, if you spill a load of buckfast on it. it will never work again :x
Nicely done Bbloke!!

I forget which one as there are a few of them, but there was a vid on the BBC website at some tech fair where they were demonstrating gadgets that you could stick in the dishwasher. Fookin brilliant!

IL2 Sturmovik 1946.

It's the latest release cover IL2 Forgotten Battles, Ace Expansion and Pacific Fighters. There has been numerous community cracks that offer better graphics extra and more features with planes and what not which is why I walked away from it.

There is a Battle of Britain version due but it has no official release time and the new cracks are demeaning and reducing the likelihood of it being release... shame really.

This may seem a bit niaive, but isn't there some anti-cheat system to prevent that kind of thing that can be implemented?

There is a system that trys to detect cheats by lack and positional information but it can be beat like most.

The game was written using java and the file secured but the code key has been broken and thus texture changes, potential plane flight data and what not changed.

The game ships with head tracking function built in but only on x and y axis. A crack came out allowing all 6DOF usage which means you can not only look up/down, left and right but zoom in/out, roll and side movements but in doing so allowed the pilot to have an owl like ability and able to kiss the back of their own necks... most if not all have considered it ok but it's a blatant hack. As all hacks are client side and undetectable you just end up with the usual excuses. Pure tosh!!
