Crockett, you might try refining the search to include HiTech as the poster, and have the search yield posts, and not threads. There are many collision threads, looking only for posts by HT is a good deal easier than digging through 5000 2-3 page threads.

Be warned that HT's spelling is a bit unpredictable, and you may need to include words like "culizhun", "playnez" and "deteckshun", but he's gotten a bit better in the past few months.

Other players in europe do have ping times at about 200 or worse And as long their connection is stable, they do not warp, though.

That's a fairly average ping time accose the Atlantic. My parent company in the UK and ping times to them are between 135-175 on average.

My ping is consistantly between 360 and 400

And I can play fine MOST of the time....

The deal with collisions is... they suck and the idea sucks and will continue to suck until the intardnet becomes much faster.

...but it's what you'll continue to get until then.

if ya do the math, a ping of 100 to the HTC servers from two players can give you this senario.....

plane flying at 300 is about 440 feet a sec, one tenth of a second ( ping 100) 44 feet , two planes with same ping, 88 feet differance

you see both planes coliding, the other guy will see two planes 80 feet apart, giving him time to manuver.

if both planes get collision messages "you have collided/ "blank" has collided".. the server recognized both planes touched, therefore, both planes should go down. Thanks to the History channel ive only seen one simulated collision (SBD/ZERO) where both planes didnt go down. if we touched.,..my fault, yur fault..nobodys fault,, send them both down.

The server has nothing to do with collisions.

If you do collide on your FE, your computer generates a "You have collided message"

If your enemy did collide on HIS FE too, he sends the information to you via server "XXX collided with you"

The server does not recognize/detect/determine collisions, that work is done on each players computer.

The server isn't making the distinction. If your PC determines that you and player X are occupying the same space at the same time, and if playerX's PC determines that he and you are occupying the same space at the same time, you will both get the message, and you will both take damage.

While such collisions do occasionally occur simultaneously, normally one follows the other, or only one is detected due to lag, and the resulting perception that one plane is in a slightly different position.

Now THAT is funny. 88 feet to manuever one plane @ 300mph is 1/10 of a second. No one can do anything at that speed, distance and time.

The "average" blink of a human eye is 3/10th - 4/10's of a second. By the time you blinked...you were already 132 feet past the point where the blink started.

I finally survived a collsion!!! A P-51 rammed into my arnold while I was chasing a 190! The P-51 suffered and oil leak and flew off to land. So things are looking up ;-)

ohhh..my bad,, i thought i was running a High Tech program, didnt realize Dell preloaded all the software to run AHII...should i be sending them 15 bux too??

my computer isnt making the distinction,, HTC servers are.

Coronado · « **Reply #56 on:** January 13, 2007, 07:32:58 PM »

i know..i know, basically, the slower/ crappier your computer,, the better chance you have of surviving a collision.

kilz · « **Reply #57 on:** January 13, 2007, 07:37:56 PM »

my head hurts after reading all this. its simple learn how to make your kills from 600-650 out you stand a better chance not getting rammed or become a rook and fly at 30,000 in alt they never get rammed

Collisions at tabulated by your front end.

So what you see is what you get.
