I think you dont understand what i mean.
Its very simple: increasing SA doesnt help if they can see you first.
Also by your logic cheating is something wich should be accepted, wich isnt a very good base for people who want to enjoy flying rather than getting absurd scores.

Try to fly online for a change and maybe you will understand.

then i got you a "cheat" get a 55' inch 3d monitor and a nVidia gtx titan and then max out your settings (especialy the visibility distance). this is "DA CHEAT ENGINE" (according to you the higher visibility is a cheat)
Yes,you asked for it

And the best is -it won't even work.

Well, to shoot you they still need to enter a close range, this where increasing your SA helps. Of course you're at a disadvantage, but not dead yet ? Now if those you call cheaters are 3 on comms and you're alone, not much you can do except find friends for flying.

ok for the graphics card but the 55' monitor would help

Stupid question, since I only fly offline, but wouldn't extremely low resolution graphics hurt the cheater as much as anyone else?

Sure, you might be able to easily pick out planes silhouetted against the sky, but it looks like it would be almost impossible to detect low flying planes or ground objects at any great distance since they merge into the ground texture. And, God only knows how awful the cockpit view is!

Mind you, I'm not saying that the "low graphics" cheat isn't a problem, it just seems like a gimmick that covers for low skill, rather than a consistent game winner like the old "trim tab on a slider" cheat.

I already said its an exploit rather than a cheat.

You are making valid graphical changes to the game via inputs made by the software company.
