My front end, your front end
« on: January 27, 2006, 01:18:24 PM »
I know the collision thing has been beat to death, but I have to ask.......
why is that its always my front end that sees the collision.  I mean I would think once in awhile I would come out of a collision but every time I'm the one going down.

Is this something in my connection, vid card or what?

I mean out of lets say10-15 collisions I've NEVER come out on the good end.

Just curious

I have a 3.06HT P4 Alienware
ATI X800
5MB Cable connection

Like you said ... its been beat to death.

You could have done us all a favor and done a "search" and then some "research" of what you found ... the answer will be there.

Please spare the horse !!!

If you "See" a collision on your end, then you get dmg.

If your opponent didn't "See" it on their end, they didn't get dmg.  It's a near miss to them.

I bet that some times when you "See" a near miss, your opponent "Saw" a collision and took damage.  You didn't take damge because you didn't "see" the collision.  Ever get a "xxx" has collided with you msg but not taken any dmg?

Basically if you see it, you get damage.  But what you see as a near miss, might register as a ram on THEIR front end, and they took dmg.

(and yes, please do a search, this horse is long dead and beaten)

You always collide when your front end sees it.................

He always collides  when his front end sees it.....................

One front end does not see the same as another..................



given the above you can work it all out...............

I've noticed while in furballs that if I'm looking out of my 6 oclock view tracking a bogey behind me and someone hits me from the front, I will generally receive less damage than the other plane, sometimes I won't even receive any at all, maybe just an aleron or something small

Jeez.....
Read the post guys..... Didnt ask once how collisions worked:furious

I just asked why would it always be my end that recieves the damage.

Wondering if connection or anything to do with it.

I have NEVER come away on the good end of a collision and seems odd as you would think once in awhile the other guy would recieve the damage.

No complaining just wondering if there was something computer wise that I could do to even out the odds.

Why does my connection ALWAYS SEE the collision? Do I need to turn my view to the rear whenever some one gets close?

Slapshot, I did search and there is not an answer to my question.

So thanks for that tibit of info Your a real help

You seem to be implying that it's other guys actually hitting you on your FE and not you hanging too close , Are you saying most of your collisions are from the rear?

There is no such thing as the good end of a collision you collide then you get damage........you dont collide you dont get damage...........if you dont get damage you did not collide.............so simple it is

Why does my connection ALWAYS SEE the collision?

Its your computer that sees it not your connection................It always sees collisions when ever you collide..........when ever you collide your computer has  seen a collision.......every time .....yup........without exception (well maybe wing tips)...........and guess what when you dont see a collision...........well you did not collide........but you knew that right?
 


I know this is a troll.....I mean it has to be......but never the less I am going to swallow good and hard in the certain knowledge that my digestive system can cope.................

Talking about situations where in a potential HO for example if I dive underneath and the con noses down and just clears me or actually runs into me I am watching him and as I go down and look over my shoulder he's flying away

Or I had a con run into my tail in a low speed turn, I'm watching him as we collide and I go down and hes ok.

It happens regardless of the message I collided with him or he collided with me. So I asking is it something I'm doing?

Like I said you would think sooner or later I'd be the one flying away from a collision.

My connection is fast, computer fast, I'm just wondering why no matter the situation, angle or cause I crash and the con survives. Do I ned to look away when a collision is likely?:confused:

1. this is a troll

2. this is someone with zero reading comprehension.

Got to be one or the other.  This is unbelievably simple to understand.  I just explained it to my 5yr old daughter in 2 min., and SHE get's it completely.  I even quizzed her.
