[FAKENEWS] Programs altering your game will be forbidden (Odyssey)?

I haven't heard anything about that at all. Last comment I saw from Frontier is that they fully support the use of such tools. But who knows! Will see if I can find anything out. :)

EDIT: Just to clarify. I was talking about third party tools like EDDB and not cheats hah
Thank you for taking the time to clear this up, Obsidian Ant (y) :)
 
If it were a fly, you would be Mike Pence :p
Not sure how to take that :D
I think I might complain to a mod and get you cancelled from these forums :D
Looking at the pic provided I would say the lines that indicate speed and the 2 vertical lines that would normally be visible on either side of the canopy to name a few.
Not seeing it I'm afraid...it's been a long week :(
I do see the GFX changes by the realism tool though.

This is mine with no changes in supercruise

The important difference to take note of is I have multiple first place trophies 😏
 
Nothing that can be considered a cheat

I'm sure Frontier doesn't care about all of them, neither does the license agreement say so in any way.

The ToS is vague/broad enough that they can interpret it however they wish. Plenty of games are far more strict/limited on what sort of alterations are permissible with essentially the same wording in the license.

Not saying I expect anything to change from the status quo, but any changes in what is permissible would be down to Fontier's fiat, and wouldn't require any modification to the terms (though they could modify them), because the terms give them wide latitude.
 
Maybe the OP should ask a mod to add a [FAKENEWS] or [DINGBAT] tag so more people aren't misled. Or just ask for this sorry tale to be locked and forgotten ...

Unfortunately it won't let me change the topic.

I don't know why I have to apologize asking for clarification. I also called these claims 'unlikely' from the beginning. I don't know where you see that I spread rumours on purpose.

You didn't just ask for clarification, after getting responses you argued the validity of the claim. Imo that counts as perpetuating a rumor. No worries though all their panic was more over the fear of losing all their advantages 😂

I just added what he was still telling me meanwhile. If this is spreading rumours for you, then okay.
If it soothes you, I have screenshots of the conversation. But I think it won't be helpful as it is all in German.

I'll add it :D

Thank you.

True, but FD have also made various statements over the years about what they consider acceptable in order to clarify those ToS.
 
So an unsubstantiated comment in a private FB group that 100% percent contradicts Fdev's previous statements about cAPI and log use, that you've neem unable to find any verification for? And I assume you looked before you came here and asked. This clearly smells like bovine excrement and I'm unsure as to how anyone could believe it. A comment from a private FB group? One of the least reliable sources ever. Oh, but it was made by <YouTube User>! Great, it was a comment who makes money when you watch their videos, someone who almost certainly has no access to additional information from FDev. Makes the comment worth about as much as any player making the same claims - about 3/4s of 5/8s of stuff all. The application of some critical thinking skills to this situation would have saved on server wear.

And I'm sure some people would like such a ban, but only because a particular plugin exposes their behaviour.

Oh.. And if FDev is going to ban me for an overlay, then someone might want to have a word to Microsoft, AMD and Nvidia.
 
It's a bit irritating how people are overreacting here. But yeah, if you are happy by ascribing me something that wasn't my intention..
Strange reactions here..

Don't take it personal OP, folks around here are just a bit starved of meaningful game play and content within the actual game, that is all... Have you never heard the phrase "the real PvP is Forum PvP" ?

My advise regarding this thread, do not feel compelled to respond to every troll post, the issue as been clarified so it will eventually disappear into the abyss, alongside the thousand open letters to Frontier and the entire Role Play sub forum.

Oh and please dump facebook once and for all ;-)
