S! All,
 
I'd like to direct everyone's attention to J5_Baeumer's post regarding the recent cheating incidents that have happened in Rise of Flight:
 
https://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/51553-community-policy-cheating/
 
The Flanders In Flames tournament (and the JG1 squadron) were involved in these discussions, and fully backs and supports this community policy.
 
However, FIF will not just be issuing a 1 month ban for the first offense.
 
Rather, anyone caught using a cheat on the FIF server will immediately receive a full "campaign ban".  This means that the pilot will be banned from FIF for both Phase A and Phase B of whatever campaign is currently ongoing (approximately 8+ weeks).  If the pilot is discovered to have cheated mid-way through a campaign, they'll be banned for the rest of the current campaign, plus all of the next campaign as well (an additional 8+ weeks).
 
A second offense is a permanent ban for that pilot, as well as a permanent ban for that pilot's squadron, so long as that pilot is still a member of that squadron.

6 pilots flew with illegally modded weapons on Saturday's mission (FIF 2018 "Winter Campaign" - Session B3 - Saturday, 3 March 2018).
 
Our tournament rules regarding modded aircraft are clearly posted: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/5457-fif-2018-winter-campaign-plane-modifications/
 
I will be contacting each of these pilots directly, and giving them one warning.
 
If this happens again, I'm going to start treating this a full rules violation of the tournament, and start banning people for a mission-night.  From there, the penalties will get more severe.
 
Please check your load-outs before you take off!

Salute all! I've been working on an unofficial promo video for Rise of Flight since last September. Today, it is finally done. Thanks to all who helped make it possible. I hope that your passion shines through in this effort. Enjoy!
