I had em for a time. Or at least I THOUGHT I did.

Evidence follows..........

I'm in on a red ikon type! Line up the shot.... pull the trigger/press the fire button and................ tracers SEEM to go right through him with little or even NO damage.

Same thing IN,... lined up,.... fire,.... totaly MISSED?!?!? No flashs of hit sprites nada?!?!? HEY wait a minute here!!! Kinda looked like the red ikon type sorta flicker/miniwarped!!!! Had to be!!!! I KNOW where to shot and I still missed!!! I was 200 out when I fired and MISSED!!!! ARRGGH stick stirrin bastage!!!!

HO'n typhie,lala comin at me!!!! Fire MISSED??? BANG we collided?!?!? wait how could we collide I didn't SEE that on my front end?!?!? AND WHOA that happened FAST! GEEZ that red ikon type musta had some EEEeeeee!

Ina 109k4, get on the red ikons 6! Right at 200! dot is right on! FIRE! and HUH????? TOTAL MISS? FIRE! GEEZ HOW COULD I MISS THIS CLOSE?

HMMMMMMMM.................... ...... something ain't quite right here............ seems like everything is happening SOOOOO fast anymore!

Except in the occasional 1 v 1 or during early mornings when few are on.

Lookin around and found ....

Saw someone post about FSautostart, said he never flew without it.

http://www.fs-gs.com/downloads.htm

Downloaded it. Read the instructions. Applied instructions to my system.

Dailup connection here at 37K.

Dailup and connect.

Use FSautostart and my firewall say HEY! I say ALLOW IT!

Watch as a bunch of services and progs I DON'T NEED for AHII are stopped.

Watch as my memory is optimized.

AHII STARTS.

Log on and fly.

IN on a red ikon type, line up, fire, whoa!!!!! red ikon type has a serious OWIE

MUHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa aaaaaa

IN on another red ikon type!!!! WHOA this one is stick stirrin! EZ now Work for the angle, WORK, WORK, FIRE, BANG MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA down goes the mean old red ikon type.

UH OH a HO! roll, put in some rudder, angle in, FIRE, BANG, ROLL, ROLL OUT! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE red ikon type has PROBLEMS NOW!

Hmmmm the Ho SEEMED slower????? Had more time to fire??? How ODD?

Ina 109k4, on a red ikon type, under 200, FIRE, BANG, red ikon goes BOOM! HMMMMM in on a another red ikon type, whoa nice move! up, around, roll, whoa! add rudder, deflection shot here, usually miss these, wait for it! wait for it! NOW, FIRE, BANG! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA got me some tail! Hey everyone needs a little tail every now and then!

HMMM........... something is different here.............. hmmmmm....... Seems like I got more time to set up and engage?????? Now number of red and green ikons seems NOT to make a such a big difference!

HMMMMMMMMM................... ........

THINK, THINK, consider, consider, Constipate, Constipate,

AHHHHHHHHHH.................. .............

OK here is MY OPINION of what was WRONG with MY SYSTEM!!!!!

OH ahhh my system........

AMD barton 2500+
Asus A7V8X-X Latest BIOS
1 gig ram
WinXP
ATI Radeoon 9800 pro 128 RAM

Usual FPS varied between max of 75 FPS (monitor refresh max is 85) and a low (in a big furball over a base with fires and buff overhead) 8 FPS.

Applied the FSautostart recommendations.

Now get as high as 78 but the low is now more like 24?!?!?!?

Here Ya go.....

the answer is MY MONITOR was LIEING to me!!!!!

Well OK maybe it wasn't, maybe it was my video card.

Thing is WHY???? HOW????

CPU cycles!!!!!!

The more services and programs running WHILE I'm flying the less time my CPU has to talk to my video card!

So my video card is NOT getting constant updates! So my monitor is NOT showing me WHAT IS!

If my machine isn't painting EVERY frame! Say it's NOT completing 2 or maybe 3 out of 10 frames at say 75 fps then what I'm seeing actually APPEARS to be FASTER then it really is! AND the position of the red ikon type MAY be where I see it AND MAY not be where I see it depending on WHEN! I can fire AT where the con should be and MISS because while my computer KNOWS where the con really is my video card doesn't SHOW IT! Because it DIDN'T get the information!

The faster system out there don't suffer as much from this but they can if TOO many services/background programs are running!

Skuzzy wasn't kidding

What I do now before I log on to AHII!

Reboot system! Clears the cache!

Run FSautostart!

When done log off.

Reboot system.

Why? TANSTAAFL!

You gotta choose between all that stuff you want running on your system for sufing and whatnot OR getting good preformance in AHII!

I saw your other post, but I'll reply to this one.

I get massive 30mm rubber bullets all the time. I don't have that much running in the background, either!

So I'm going to try this out and see if the results are any better.

With or without this running you will still have rubber bullet problems when firing 30mm at bombers. I didn't really get too many rubber bullets other than that situation, so I can't tell if the rest has improved or not.

So this won't solve the main problem I have. I have come to realize it's an AH2 problem, not an end user problem.

Hmmm well I admit I have to hit em allot with 30mm, gotta hit em even more with 20mm, but if you go for the wing root usually one or two hits and they catch fire.
