what the heck changed?
« on: April 18, 2005, 01:52:45 AM »
my stick inputs are lousey and laggy.

my rounds do no damage even in something like typhoon i cant get enough rounds to take a spits wing off.

my connection wobbles like a fat girl in a tractor.

lag, lag, lag, lost packets et al.

flying is impposible because stupid stick spikes every time i touch it.

shooting is impposible because i cant hold the plane level let alone aim.


WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?

it was smooth as silk unitll the lastest patch.

tried everything from full windows calibration to reinstalling the hardware and software.

nothing helps.



right now the game plain sucks for me.




add to this that MA gameplay is totaly non-existant and you have a very un happy camper.

HT, whats changed or have ALL of my computer bits gone wrong at the same time?

Is this the right time to mention that everything has improved for me across the board in the latest patch?  :)

Seriously, lots of folks have been having internet issues of late.  Try running the ping plot and I bet you see it too.

tried recal in windows and ingame.

maybe this stupid saitek is finally busted after 7 months use.

but the rubber bullets and input lags are worse.

imagine being at the top of a rope, and you rudder doesnt redpond for a second or two.  you flop down and the guy kills you not the other way around.

and turn fighting is a joke, even more so aiming is impossible even at 400 yrds.

offline seems to be no trouble.


could lag effect stick inputs or am i rustling the wrong wrangler here?

To me that sounds like lag more then anything.

Reason I say that is that Ive not had any problems at all since the latest patch.

Though I have had the same problems as you describe before.

These have always been related to lag or loss of cpu performance.

The lag has been either due to my router needing a reset or McAfee anti virus updating it self.

The loss of cpu has always been due to spyware or antivirus starting a scan.

Now I always scan my computer weekly for spyware and make sure to disable anti virus when I fly.

I had to redo all my input settings... dampner, deadband, sliders, everything... (No dampening, sept on rudders, sliders at the top,very little DB)

I played around with it offline, seemed ok, then went online & started tweakin some more...
played with video settings a bit then back to input settings, I guess I've reached a happy medium somewhere...

no real trouble til I get in the trees...

I have had lots of trouble with netlag tho... could that be it ?? maybe a combo of the 2 ??

Dunno, but I hope this helped a little...

Savvis is destroying AH gameplay, i am seeing accelerated stalls that should not be happening.
Rubber bullets, i am getting a huge amount of assists instead of kills.
I would guess that a large proportion of my kills this month are from getting people to auger around me.

There is no such thing as rubber bullets. Hits can NOT be droped.

Savis can in no way effect aircraft stalls.
