Not really. There were other ways to mod the game. People remember the R&R file because every major mod included that file. What about the skins? What about the Fnames and Lnames file mod? Oh yes, that's right - that particular mod was suppressed very effectively by you know who, because he felt it didn't pay adequate homage to his crewmates (who, it turned out, flew in the PTO, and not the ETO).

Thus you should remember who the biggest anti R&R change antagonist was.  And basically he was ignored, nor was he a moderator.

Yes. He was the historical advisor to the game. I wouldn't say he was ignored. On the contrary, he was taken far too seriously, and he wouldn't have been so influential in the community if he hadn't had the support he had from certain influential moderators, to the extent that links to mods that he disliked seemed to disappear with a surprising regularity, and the crew name change mod (which he hated) always disappeared, to the extent that most players who kept up with the mods for that game don't even know that it existed. Anyway, clearly some moderators weren't among the bad guys, but all I'm saying is that the general attitude of the more influential moderators (or the most vocal ones) wasn't exactly supportive of mods.
Anyway, I don't want to get into a heavy discussion of B-17 II here. As far as I'm concerned, that game was a nasty business all around, and I would have been better leaving the darned thing alone and putting my abilities to better use elsewhere. I certainly could have done without all the hassle I got for trying to make that game all it could be.
