I guess I would have to say that doing what you said would be cheating. But, again only in online play.

What someone does with thier game in the privacy of thier own home, I could care less about.

Agree 100%........Hence the problem, as many of the mods shift the advantage unfairly "online".....What many fail to realize yet Oleg stated often, aspects of the sim sometimes had to be balanced either due to the engine or fair play (what was the majority of aircraft like).

......and to state EVERYONE should then use the mods online is like stating EVERYONE should do a wrong to make it right, this naturally not even touching on true cheaters, who do things simply to gain an edge which I accuse no one here of being yet we know they exist.

Trouble is, many of the mods never the less result in unbalancing the field......Let alone making it easier for the cheaters.
