Well, the english version of the rules jump from 1.12 to 1.14, so 1.13 still exists somewhere, otherwhise 1.14 would've been bumped up to 1.13. If 1.13 has truly been taken out, they would've left it there but maybe crossed out the rule or deleted the text.... this is of course under the assumption that someone over there knows what they're doing, which isn't really the case for most of the time. Rule 1.13 hasn't been part of the forum rule list for quite some time now... Lol, are you kidding me? I got the perma-ticket one month ago, so it's definitely still there when needed C.L.O.W.N.S. As usual, these people have no idea of how time works. Some of them are living in the future where DCS modules are all fixed and ED has realized and delivered the potential present in DCS, so "one month ago" is a very long time ago now. I remember when they tried claiming ED no longer set deadlines for product release. That blew up in their faces nicely.

Well, 1.13 still existing was also what I tried to point out, in a sort of understated point of way. And as bkthunder's post shows, still in active use.

I am sure they would turn over in their graves knowing that people these days are trying to re-live what they fought and died for behind a computer screen.
Are you serious with line? If this was the case we'd be on here arguing about Tetris Or Bubble Bobble v102.023 (BETA Early access) No Call of Warface Honour Duty, because Military personnel have died, No F1 sims, because drivers have died. No Civie sims because Airliners have crashed. For me playing ClOD makes me realise what an impossible feat was accomplished by 18 years olds with 2 weeks training, RoF makes me realise these pilots went up knowing it was probably their last day and it wouldn't be anything but an horrific way to go. If you feel like this then why do you "play" IL2, DCS etc Let me put it to you in another way,,,,say "John Citizen" releases a 3rd party campaign based on actual events that took place over normandy in ww2 (which no doubt is probably already in the works). Although DCS is entirely different to a FPS.....My stance still remains the same. Just an example from 1 of thousands of soldiers who fought in Iraq. Compare this to millions who battled back in WW1 & 2.....

Just to clarify my original line that you quoted

Who says that those "written down in history books" isn't entertainment for those that have a screw loose anyway? Be it print, movie, or an interactive media like a game, it is still up to the "consumer" of that media how to appreciate the content.

I'm not sure I understood. are you saying !000's dieing is ok for gaming, but not millions? I enjoyed Carmageddon back in it's day, however......if it were re-released today do you think it would include DLC of a truck with Berlin map? Why a Normandy map and not Japan? Surely there is stream of WW2 DLC supporters out there who want to fly their Mig-21 loaded with an RN-24 over Hiroshima and Nagasaki and drop the nuke just to "immerse" themselves and see the "damage modelling" until a B-29 is available as DLC. Than upload numerous photos and possibly run a consumer competition to see who can hit the exact spot the bombs were dropped in real life. All this whilst forgetting that their are people from Japan registered on the forums at ED who most likely will take offence to a Japanese map. some people don't share the same opinion as me.....that's ok. some people like the ww2 crap......I don't.....that's ok. Should AI units have been included for those who like the ww2 crap with the purchase of their map......personally yes.

but english, german, french, american etc people will or wont be offended by a normandy map? because only thousands died there? are people offended by Saving Private Ryan? because there were people acting as Soldiers firing fake bullets?
why would a "ww2 supporter" want to fly a mig21?
I still dont understand your overall point. What "Games" do you fly?
Do you have a 2 minute silence for the real and virtual pilots that didn't make it back?
