Generally speaking, until there's a clearly defined list of what's allowed and what's not by Valve's anti-cheat feature, the consensus is not to use mods online on a "just in case" basis.
According to this thread the mod alters some of the flight model characteristics (engine RPMs actually) in order to achieve the proper sound result, which would be a big no-no in terms of online anti-cheat checks even when a finalized "cheat list" is used by VAC.
I'm not saying the intent is malicious or that it confers some kind of advantage (i'm pretty sure Jafa just wanted to get his sounds right, not help us cheat online), just saying that FM changes of any kind are very high on the list of things to get banned for: VAC can only know if certain files it checks are modified, it doesn't know the result of such changes or the intentions of the end user.
