I'll bet you'll think twice before you just go off and start clicking stuff next time.

I have a question:

How is it HTC's fault that you clicked the wrong button?  Not meant as a personal attack or anything, but Im a little confused.

Y is it that i cant tower in a fighter or a bomber but i can in a GV. the reason i clicked tower instead of roster is cuz of the Chitty lag in the MA i wonder whos fault that is cuz it shure isnt mine. but that isnt the point i didnt say whos fault it is i asked them to put it back the way they had it where u had to stop b4 exiting a tank.

Well the reason you can is because you're not in the air, basically....

Towering simply types ".ef" for you. If you're on the ground and moving below 50MPH (or whatever the rolling exit limit is) you will tower. Well works great in planes. Works better in GVs. You're always on the ground. And you always are going less than 40mph (almost always??).

Not a bug. A feature. Ground crews can exit craft easil.

HOWEVER, I would LOVE to see the "tower" button isolated. Put a blank space under it, then continue with the menu options. I've clicked it too many times, as well.

How do you know its not just your computer thats laggy?

Weird, I've never had lag affect my clicking buttons.

Bad framerates maybe, but never lag.

It goes from you pressing a button by accident, to blaming it on lag.

hehe.

You're the first I've seen complain about it.

I know, but I've never seen lag control the mouse. :)

In fact, I never know I'm even lagging unless someone tells me.

ok im rolling along in a tiger heading to the town i pull up the clipboard move my mouse to the rostor button witch is right above the town button right when i click i have a spike in the connection and it makes my screen shutter and thus makes me click tower instead of the button i was going to click on. but like i said its just not my puter that does this. me and alot of other ppl have to deal with this everytime we go to the MA. but i can go to the CT 3 secs after being in the MA and i have the best connection 56-60 pings 75+ FRs the flatest line on the net st.


Edit: i posted this in Tech and skuzzy posted something but all the stuff he said to do i did already this pic i posted was while i was sitting in the tower if ud like i can post one of me fly with an even crapper connection nothering is wrong on my end with the connection.http://flyaceshigh.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=136586
