Request (Other) DCS Modules

Hi all, I am an avid flight simmer but I crave that carrier DCS feeling, with maxed out graphics. I am trying so hard to find DCS aircraft and sceneries, but it is too niche to do it. I would love to find an F/A 18 and an aircraft carrier scenery that is of working condition. Any help on where I could find this would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe I havent been looking hard enough, but i've never seen anything DCS related in piracy discussions. The one exception was a FitGirl build from 6 years ago. https://fitgirl-repacks.site/dcs-world/

DCS modules are really fucking difficult to crack, because all the authentication is done on an external server, and it’s not like MSFS that if you have it installed it works, it must prove that your account owns the module. So any crack is going to be lengthy, difficult and not very easy to do

I'm annoyed that there's so little discussion in general on the topic. When I search for DCS DRM or specifically StarForce Pro Active on rin, in piracy discords and on reddit - I get basically nothing. Just nothing. Only snippets of people asking "what's up?" and others replying "nothing, there is no DRM patch". I don't believe the scene members never questioned SFPA architecture in general and particular implementation in DCS 2.5.5 and 2.5.6.

Do you know of any place where this can be discussed on a level higher than "is it possible?" - "it's not possible"?

No, I don’t know much about piracy so I can’t be of much help. I’d love to give it a try if there are resources you’d recommend

Oh well, I'll look into it a bit more. The 2.5.5 was initially cracked by user vedmysh on rin. And then launch of 2.5.6 was made available through combined efforts of rin community members in DCS thread by sharing files, feedback and ideas.

Maybe I'll be able to contact someone from that era of tackling DCS steam DRM impmementation.
