Rubber Bullets?
i get a ping of about 130 which i think is fine but it think it does sometimes affect thing like damage you inflict with hits.

if you live anywhere near HTC HQ its good obviously and the further you get away the delay increases very gradually which is of course perfectly natural.

i know Tedrik has experienced this and we went to the DA and did trials together and shot down bomber with a few rounds of cannon compared to few hundred and no damage in the MA.

so im curious as to what you think about these two films.
they are fun film to watch anyhow, but watch how many good cannon hits it sometimes takes to do enough damage....especially on the bomber at one point im sure i hit his number two engine bigtime and the wing root.


its really anoying because my film viewer doesnt work, but i know some peoples do, so what you guys with many different ping numbers think? does the delay effect damage at all?

they were great fun anyhow, this really isnt a whine, just a wondering how much it effects others or even im just inmaginimg it. Its a frustration not being able to watch them myself past any hit on others a/c.

 i wonder if some one linked a copy of a working filmviewer from the HT file others could fix theirs.

edit, delete a wrong film. only one now

I get rubber bullets all the time.  I think its cause of my low FPS, for example yesterday i was flying a P51D and emptied about 200 rounds into the wing of a N1K, Finnally half of its wing came off but it ditch so i never got a kill. If i  go to the DA where i get about 45-60 FPS which is amazing compared to my average 15-18 Everything goes down with a few bullets.  I think its a matter of FPS and lag. Ive heard something about If you have Wait for Vertical Sync off in your video settings then itl cause it but i dont know.

so how can i change this Vsync stuff then?

its optimal to have it 'on' right?

as it stand, in the MA my bullets are almost worthless at times.


pumped every round from a Niki into a b24 engine and wing and nothing save a fuel leak.

I hit the crap out of planes with my hisookas regularly and nothing.

but! in the DA a couple of well places cannon and it's my fight.

tested it on bomber in the DA and shot each one down with only a few rounds from my Niki cannons.

frustrating but not really a problem.  just have to deal with the fact that everyone else has better guns than you :)

right click the desk top, click properties, settings tab, Advanced, 3D, the Vsync slider should be to the ON position, fixed some of my problums, lil decrease of FPS though, but i can get some kills now, this is one HUGE sentence.
