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.
