Don't speak unless you know what you're talking about, otherwise you're simply contributing to the rumors that feed their trashtalk.
A car modification is composed of several parts, the basic ones being: a TXD file for the texture, a DFF file for the
visual model, a COL file for the collision (physical) model and changes to handling.cfg (all data regarding driving) and vehicles.ide (data regarding wheel size and ground clearance).
A more complex modification may alter more files, but I will keep this simple.
The bright ones amongst you may have noticed by now that you cannot look at any picture of a modified car and claim that the person has an unfair advantage, it is simply not possible to generalise like that.
Changes to the handling.cfg and vehicles.ide files will be blocked by the MTA anticheat, there is probably a hack to get these changes working, but that is an entirely different accusation towards GnIDa; one I will happily put my head on the line for, he does not cheat.
The TXD and DFF files are entirely visual and do not change any behaviour of the vehicle ingame, you could replace these two files from the Cheetah with those of the AT-400 and it would change diddly squat.
If you were to do this, you would still drive around with the handling, collision and behaviour of the Cheetah and other players would be none the wiser, they would see you as a Cheetah and you would react to any interaction just like a Cheetah would, the only difference is you would be seeing a massive plane, meaning you would likely have no clue as to when you were going to get hit; purely an advantage for everyone else.
That leaves the COL file, which I am not sure the anticheat checks.
Editing the COL file is of course not allowed and could gain you an unfair advantage (or it could do the exact opposite), but again, unless you know what you're talking about, don't spread rumors.
Rotten, what you have said is entirely untrue and is not what would happen were one to modify the collision of the car.
The two things you could do is increase or decrease the size of the collision object.
If you were to increase it, you'd put yourself at a huge disadvantage, as you would be thrown away by other players ramming you before they had even touched you on their screen.
This means that they wouldn't take any damage and wouldn't have any impact on their own car (as long as you aren't lagging too much) and if you tried to drive towards them, you would be instantly stopped when you touched them on your screen, as on their screen you woudn't have touched them.
Do the opposite and you would gain your advantage, as when players hit you on their screen and stop dead in their tracks, there wouldn't have been any impact on your screen and if you were to drive towards them, they would be mercilessly pushed along as there would be no obstacle to grant you any resistance on your screen.
So, to get to the point, you cannot modify the handling or vehicle file and TXD and DFF modifications are purely visual and make no change to the ingame behaviour of the car, but you are not allowed to edit the collision.
Even if he did modify the COL file, not knowing what it did, you can clearly see that the dimensions of the car are near identical to the Cheetah, the difference would have to be measured in quarters of an inch and with his ping, a change this minimal would make zero difference to actual gameplay.
Though with that said, I am quite sure that all there was to his mod was a TXD and DFF file, meaning it makes absolutely no difference to anything or anyone, except provide him with a fresh look for the car.
It's not the first time GnIDa is accused of foul play, likely because he's just
that good, so here's something for you to ponder:
If he really was using this modification to gain an unfair advantage, do you think he would take a picture of it and upload it for everyone to see?
Irregardless of what you may think of him based solely on his English, GnIDa is not stupid, and thinking that he would do something this idiotic is nothing but an insult to him, so well done on that one.
If that isn't enough for you, think about when this became an issue, was it when he was playing with this modification? No.
It was only after the picture was posted, meaning there was never even a problem to begin with.
This is nothing but a bunch of sour, immature losers (in the sense that they have likely lost to GnIDa in a match) deciding to try and brew up a shitstorm, because if you can't beat the best, you can always try to convince everyone that they're cheating to mend the damages to your little e-penis.
QED motherfuckers, now sit down, shut up and eat your waffles.
Oh and for those who were a part of this pathetic crusade, I would just like to add insult to the injury I caused by just stomping on your face:
That's a mighty fine car you've got there, Flare.
