Competition brings out the worst in some people,
but its part of the game and not possible for the host to lock these settings,
so its up to the user to make it look like what he wants.
Whole squads fly low res and settings so they can see enemy air and ground targets easier in some online wars.
Not for me, but then I stopped flying in online wars due to the
bomber/log file hack from years ago long before the sound hack then the speed hack and the radar hack etc etc etc
