Reason I ask is because some servers have closed themselves to these mods... reason being they have viewed some sort of track that shows some aircraft climbing at 750 KPH to over 10,000Meters... sounds far fetched I know... but coming from the days of cfs1 and 2 I know what this looks like as I have had to put up with cheats in those two sims... I just dont want the same thing to happen to the IL2 community that happened to both of the CFS communities... if none of you remember, they split horribly and were basically overrun with cheaters and people using heavily modified aircraft etc... which just ruins the game completely.
Of course it is possible, and unfortunately, it is probable. You can swap FM's from one aircraft to another, if thats what turns your twisted crank.
The cat is out of the bag, and i've yet to see anyone able to stuff an irate one back in successfully - this isn't the only place these mods are being discussed, poked, and prodded at in terms of seeing what the underlying code does. It's all very much experimental here. But, as Bomber already said - do some reading - this site isn't interested in cheating, and you'll find that there isn't serious discussion on how to make a me-109 perform like an F-86 Sabre - indeed, it's discouraged.
IL2 has had a good run - we'll have to take the bad with the good with the barn doors open and the horses long gone... there are bad apples out there that'll cheat with the opened code - but they are in the small minority online.
Servers will have to take what measures they need to, to keep gameplay 'fair'.
