Stratos Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 If someone was able to crack the avionics on SF2 adding new functionalities and adding more realism, we will not break any law releasing a patch that "updates" our games to that standard. Right? Quote
Fubar512 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Don't do it! Otherwise, the simulation division of the avionics police will seek you out and arrest you, and you will most likely be prosecuted for illegal patching. 1 Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Do what ever you want, but you need to upload it anywhere else than here... for the rest .. it will be history Quote
comrad Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Don't do it! Otherwise, the simulation division of the avionics police will seek you out and arrest you, and you will most likely be prosecuted for illegal patching. no one will arrest. if he will not take the money for that patch. Quote
saisran Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 For your personal and non-commercial use i don't see any problem with it. But with intentions of distribution either free or not. TK will probably not like it. To your close friends who you can trust to keep it personal maybe. To be honest i've been wishing to have the ability to reprogram/recode SF2 to bring back Multiplayer.

Fubar512 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 no one will arrest. if he will not take the money for that patch. That's right. He will not be arrested. He will simply be marched outside and shot at sunrise, by members of the investigative division of the people's flight simulation compliance authority highway patrol. Quote

+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 uh good idea! Nah, the problem is, the guys from CA don`t want to get into any trouble with any company, cause of supporting such "hacks", but the whole comunity would kiss your feet if you would "improve" the game. We can talk about it, we can discuss problems, .. but we can`T officialy support such hacks ... Quote
Kodiak Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) And if you do, please let me know. I would love it! Edited July 14, 2015 by Kodiak Quote
Fubar512 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Just wonderingly. Patch the .exe or a .dll? Both have be done, Raven. The executable runs a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) of the various DLL files when they attempt to load. Anything that's determined to be out of place will cause the EXE file to reject the DLL, and crash the game back onto the desktop. Here's a brief explanation of the process on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check Quote
JungleThing Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 If I'm not mistaken, a guy from China developed a method of acquiring ground targets by the aircraft's radar. I remember seeing two videos about it. (Sorry for my weak english) Quote
+russouk2004 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 1, You can for personal use ,take apart a game ....who would know?. 2,you can describe what you did,how you did it,with what you did it 3 only thing you cant do is to share it,unless authorized... in other words if u get it working tell us and how u did it....lol 1 Quote
+RAVEN Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Okay, that's way more about a CRC then my brain can handle, but thanks. I've been looking at a .dll (not related to SF) Dropping the idea though, I don't have time to learn C++. Quote
