I dunno. To me, it is cheating. There's no way in real life you would hear an aircraft behind you with a 1000+ horsepower V-12 roaring away in front of you.

I think the 109 guys who jettison their canopies are cheating too.

I guess it's a leftover attitude from IL2FB. Guys used to tweak their config files so they could hear aircraft behind them. It was BS.
Yeah, the ability to hear the engines with the canopy open is there. Guaranteed. It's not right and should be adjusted. Maybe if the enemy plane is 20ft off your six you'll hear something, but not much. Funny thing was, I thought they made this better in 1.07 but it seems to be back with 1.08?

One other thing I'd add to the list of unintentional cheats is the kill and damage info. That stuff should really be a server setting. When you've got a game that involves pilot kills and a detailed and sophisticated damage model, it's not right to give pilots ESP to know that their radiator has been perforated or that the level flying aircraft in front of them has a dead pilot in it after two bullets. Server side setting for this type of info would greatly enhance the full real servers, I think.
