I was curious if film you have would show warping that may have occured during a fight.

AKAK got pnwed with a pretty good alt advantage last night, and used warping as his excuse.

If anyone could host, I'd be more than willing to share.. ;)

I think films of warping would pretty much depend on the POV of the one doing the filming.  In other words, if he saw warping that doesnt mean anyone else did.  So only his film would show it, if the films even show warps.  I'm not sure they do.  Not a good way to "prove" someone is making up stories.

films will generally show "warps" indicated by extreme angled trails, as well as stretched trails.  it doesn't always indicate *whose* end the warp was on, especially if only 2 of you are in the film.

you almost never see your own warps because the film smooths it out for you.

but let's say there's 3 of you in view,  if both akak and the 3rd guy showed warpage, then it's most likely your end.  if only akak showed, and not the 3rd guy, then it'd be his end.

now if akak says he saw warping, it could have been on either one of your's end. whose?  open for debate without reviewing both films and preferrably at least a 3rd plane in view.

i know akak well enough that he wouldn't claim non-existent warping as an excuse for a loss.  so i'm sure *he* saw some, but again on whose end it occured is open for debate.

just my .02 based on experience.

when i see warpipng, the first thing i try to do is check netstat to see what mine is looking like.  sometimes it's simply the server hosing numerous people, as evidenced by a weird step-jag.

i can host for you Lazer, send to BatfinkV@flightsims.info



as far as warpage goes, i was in a great fight with a 109G2 in my jug a few months back.  during the fight i noticed a serious warp on his behalf, but not on mine. on reviewing his film of the event, I was the one who warped and he stayed fine. on reviewing my film, the other way around.

warps suck, but they generally affect both parties envolved in my expirience.
