the tank town triangle

[corpse]

theres the bermuda tringle in the south atlantic and in this game we gave the tank town triangle,what i mean by this is i was flyin 600 off a squadie and all of a sudden he disappered along with the plane he was chasing all of a sudden they both reappear2 clicks away at another postion. Now I know people will say im havin lag which i am not,ive checked all this with pingplotter and am getting good ping the same has been reported by my other teammates as well planes in front of them and then all of a sudden 900 on their 6,it seems to only be isolated to tank town itself and no where else in the game planes dissapering then reappearing out of no where,this isnt the typical alt-s typ lags either i have film of it

The best answer your probably going to get is to send the film to Skuzzy... they can see more in films that we do.


As for explanations: Id still bet it was lag. The trick with the internet (and connections) is that they are in no way a constant thing... means: you can have a perfectly steady ping/connect, then suddenly traffic for whatever reason - warp - and are back to your steady, stable connect the next second. Pingplotter would only show severe problems for a lengthy amount of time. Also, you said that others saw themn "warp" as well? That would be indicating that the warp was on THEIR end, not yours.


If it was a one time thing, id just chalk it up to computer/net weirdness and forget about it.

If it is something that is repeatable, over the same spot in the terrain.. then you might be onto something.

That happens when u fly over tank town and there like 50+ GV's out there on the ground.  Happens all the time when i fly near tank town.  Reason why I avoid the area when flying.

Good point Dogg! When thinking high load, one keeps forgetting a high number of GVs in one area can cause lag same as a high numbered furball.
