I had taken off from a CV, flown to A9, rtbed to a different field because our CV was sunk. After I efed I was moved to the very center of the map where I got this picture. More planes kept getting added and sometimes you'd see one flyby then blow up with a lot of smoke trailing behind it. I had to alt-f4 to get out of it and when I tried to log back in the MA was closed...
 

It's the twilight zone....

This is a "feature" that has been around since early WB.  If/when the host and your FE get out of sync, sometimes you end up at some central or null point in space.  It seems to occur only rarely.

Jeez,

You must have been moving pretty fast to do all that damage.

Same tying happened to me. I think I was the F4U in that picture.

It all sounds very cool and all. But I would kinda like to play now   I am sure that they will get it sorted. New version. New problems.

Same thing happened to me today, and I posted in the bugs forum about it.

Sounds like a temporary thing.

If I dropped a big bomb on this mess, how many kills would I get?

From the posting going on in the Bug forum, it seems this happens only when the host goes down.
