Unfortunately, it's often impossible to catch someone who "cheats" as unless a person is being outrageous about it there is no way to tell.......There is no way to tell if a plane is able to turn 20m tighter, fly 20Km/h faster, and so on...In fact if you look at an Ntrk you see your data, not theirs and it really impossible to by simply looking make such a determination.
Now all can argue this back and forth from now till doomsday. However, what no one can reasonably argue is the fact that when flying against others all want a fair fight....Or in kind teammates on the same level field. There have been a few fusses here over what alterations were fair to make or not. So much so that the site has a rule posted about it (weapons), and even a threat to those breaking it behind closed doors.
In kind I don't think any could reasonably argue that such alterations are not made elsewhere....
So in the end, a mod that improves the chance at balance in online play, be it keeping out the unauthorized mods from elsewhere that are deliberately tweaked, to even better still insuring that all players in a server are on a level playing field is a bad thing. Why would anyone even argue that?
Lastly, disregarding all the BS about hacking the ten commandments of Oleg and all the legal bunk folks want to spew......At the very heart of all the conflict is one thing, that being the very thing the suggetion above would correct.
Where would the sim be developed to already via mods, in fact, how much of that which has hindered and distressed those here could of been bypassed if such a mod had been made first?
Maybe a lot, maybe not at all.....Yet it sure takes a LOT of the argument out of what those outside including myself have been saying.....and still can.
