Well I am almost done with the quest to land 2 kills air to air with every fighter on the plane set. I have found that this is harder to complete than I was thinking. Going from one plane to another tring to understand its weakness and the hardest part I think was getting the trajectory down with every gun set for each plane. It took me a week and I still have a couple of plane’s to go back to but in all it was a very good challenge. I consider myself an above average stick but their was someone that said that a person did the list without 1 death. That person lied I don’t care if you are the best of the best. I found that the worst plane that I had trouble with were the p40b and the p51b. I don’t think I found out anything new but I did like the 109’s. Also the new patch from HTC didn’t help I had major lag and freezes that always came up at the worst time. HTC needs to work on this as their #1 goal to fix before going forward with new trees. I was getting really upset with the service that HTC has been providing with this patch. Their were so many problems that I thought it had to be my putter but after talking with my squad it looks like a lot of people are going threw the same problems. Also i couldnt get anyone in my squad to do it even putting a bottle of wild turkey up for the winner lol. They are weak!!!!

Good luck on getting the rest of your 2 kills per plane FX1.

I'll take you up on that offer of a bottle of Wild turkey 101 if the offer still stands

I enjoyed our battles you in the Hurri series against my Hog, you maneuvered it quiet well

as for this patch, I  am of the view that it has more to do with peoples computer set ups more so than anything HTC did in this current patch, that along with the bad internet lag as a whole across the U.S.

I seen alot of people post that have med to lower performance PCs that say they have seen an improvement and I myself have seen about a 10 to 15 fps improvement over the last patch. I am just 1 person though, but the increase in fps allowed me to move my detail sliders closer to the quality side and away from better performance side.

just saying, everyone isn't seeing a drop in fps, and alot of them are on lower end machines , while some of the higher end machines are complaining they are seeing a decrease.....

everyone's MMV.........

see ya up in the AH skys  

[FX1]

I have a amd 64 3200 with a gforce 5700 with 256 ram and 1 gig of 3200 kingston and soundblaster live. Also i have RR bussiness class cable that i pay $160 a month for and live within 3 hours of dallas. What else does it take. I did see a small amount of fps increase. The worst part is that i have 7 disco's and have only been on for a week. I think some were because i was changing settings to try and make the game run but have put them back to what it was before the patch. I need to send skuzzy my dxdiag to see if their is anything thats wrong. Also i have done 4 different spyware scans with 3 different software and 2 virus scans. I am pulling out my hair! This is a game were that little freeze can cost a win our loose and i can think of 8 times were it did cost me a death.

yes we did have some good fights but chi cherry me so i had to send shawk over to deal with that lol did we have a 262 fight that night. I had a wicked 262 fight and i think i got film on it. I will look tonight

BTW i bought the bottle before 1st of the month and after no one did the quest i drank it.

see you have a high end gaming machine and experiencing problems

here where I live we have 4 computers ( just added one ) currently hooked up to the net thru a DLINk 604 router on bellsouth DSL the computers are described below:

#1-

512Mb PC2700  333mhz DDR

gets 46 to 60 fps on average using 256 meg textures down in high 20s  in furball

#3-
AMD Athlon 2800+
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo  Nforce chipset
1 Gig PC2700  DDR 333mhz mem
Ati Radeon 9800 Pro
(2) hitachi 120 gig sata150  HDs on RAID 1 ( mirrored)

21" Monitor Panasonic S21  1024x768 res ( refresh 75 mhz )

preloading texture memory / enable plane skins
gets 65 to 75 fps on average using 512 meg textures down in high 50s  in furball and smoking fields


#4-
AMD Athlon 3200+
emachines computer
1 Gig PC2100  DDR 266mhz mem
64 meg onboard video
(1)  160gig ata133  HD
WinXP Home
onboard lan/onboard sound AC'97
21" Monitor Panasonic S21  1024x768 res

preloading texture memory / disable plane skins
gets 37 to 44 fps on average using 256 meg textures down in mid 20s  in furball

they all seem to play AH reasonable, now I have to go and hide  AH on 3 of them before I start getting yelled at :-/ when the others start getting home ( heh wonder what they say if they knew I used their pc's for test purposes, btw mouse flying is awful a flight stick is a must for this game)

but one thing that is a constant on all 4 computers is we (I) keep a continous checking up on  spyware, spam, a clean registry, making sure hds not fragmented etc etc..... #1 and #3 saw a big improvement  #2 lil change and a decrease in fps on #4 slightly


another thing you mentioned, you using the RAID "0" set for performance/stripping?  I myself thought of that but if something becomes corrupt is like starting all over, is why we went RAID 1 on the RAID system we just built , so incase 1 drive fails we got an instant backup......being SATA drives you do not really see a performace hit at all.


as for the monitors, we got a deal on them, got 4 of these 21" monitors for $40 bucks a piece each at the Computer Pro show ( my old Trnitron21" went out under warranty, they cut me a deal  instead of fixing my old one)

[FX1]

My average is 60's with lows around 27 steady smoke furball everything, its the lag that gets me 1/2sec stops and freezes near ground level. I have started to use the f3 view but still doesnt work. I hope so spent some buc's on the upgrade in Jan.
