Hmmm {falling to the dreaming mode}

AH super CON lan party with 256 pilots in old fasioned MA with absolute minimum lag where every shot really punch in... No more 'overkill tracking shots' due lag.

'Muahahahauahuaa! Do you FEEL my .303cals now, baby!'

Bye bye net (and /or server predicting code?) farts

Wha?!?!? {wake up from the dreaming mode in yet another 13in12 h2h room with full of 'AFK'ers}

Seriously
(huge IMHO from the person who dunno shyte about the online tech/business)
The netlag must be a MAJOR net communication challenge for the HTC. I mean, how to handle tziljon different events in server side in 'as real time as possibe'?

i think what you see/hear hitting you and what the other person sees is very different.

Didnt Hitech address this issue at the con?

Someone posted a recording of Hitech,or Pyro talking about it.

Anyone still have it?

That looks like 2 full 20mm hits.

The other film I can't make out any hitsprites, dunno what's up with that.

i agree..... slowed the film all the way down

looking from the external view of both the spit and the hurri, it was 2 full hits

Malta,

Here is a film showing multiple cannon rounds not taking a wing off. All rounds fired were 20mm. The plane was a 109F and not a Hurricane 2C.

Light up

See! A 20mm round (even two) can't take a wing off! Wtf is wrong with you, come on!

Regards,

Malta

The sig is quite fitting.

On a serious note, a post flight log would be nice. Say, track some bits from the data our FE sends in- hit percentage, damage points, who we shot, who shot us, etc. I don't know if it would need to be "You put 17 50cals in stang's 262 fuselage, with 8 more on the port nacelle, and 3 cannon rounds into his fat misshapen head blah blah blah", but a simple text file that people could look at and see hits, kills, collisions, etc might eventually help dispell some of the misconceptions that people have, and also end some of the silly pursefighting over details.

i hope youre joking hubs, you know as well as i do that the forums would die overnight if the pursefights stopped.
