That`s too naive...are you suggesting that you can dig out anyone who lightened his plane by few hundred kg or added few hundred horsepower?It is close to impossible.The server does not see the difference and you won`t either, even if you monitored the same trk over and over.Because AFAIK there is no utility that monitors flying parameters depending on a trk.As an experienced online pilot I know what a subtle and impossible to detect change in flight parameters can do - I can give myself a slight parameter advantage and win just about every engagement.You will not be able to prove that I modified something, ever.

i'm not worried. cheaters will cheat. just because i lock my car doesn't mean it still won't get stolen. thieves will thieve, cheaters will cheat.

all is needed is better ways to catch them.

Great, you`re not worried.Just stop misinforming the folks here.
Lets start out that there was a cheat proof system before.None of those cheats were able to ruin the play.They were easily detectable.
Now, we have a grotesque situation where those who got over the cheating long ago, actually opened the way to cheats that ruin the very fundamental aspect of the game - FM/DM. Those were untouchable until the hacking squad cracked the code.

So your carlock "analogy" is flawed. In IL2 case, the car was thief - proof because even if the thieves could take away your wheels, damage your car, they could never actually drive it away.
The hack squad has given them a remote control device that unlocks the car and starts the engine.

The theives don`t have the adequate documents to drive the car but in IL2 world there is no police that would stop them from stealing the car.

You support the very destruction of this sim`s fundamental coding design.

You destroy the fun for a group of people and tell them to deal with it themselves.

hey, i got an idea. lets take away the spoons and forks from overweight people. that will cure them.

Overweight people actually don`t hurt you at all, the don`t spoil your meaning of life or anything, well maybe your esthetic sense but that is their business if they eat too much.

Hence that analogy is flawed also.
