Elfie you won't see that day until we have an internet that runs at light speed.

Fact remains it is the way it is, its the best solution possible. Any other alternatives either undo collisions entirely (Can you say gamey?) Or punishes people who shouldn't be punished. ( avoided the collision, was 200 clear on his FE when WHAM, back to tower)

Only you can prevent collisions.

What we have for a collision model is also gamey. We don't play a boxed sim, yet that is exactly how the collision model is treated.

Otoh, there was a time when the collision model that we use now.....didn't exist, not until someone came up with the idea. Someday, someone WILL come up with a workable solution. :)

Like I said a couple of weeks ago.

these biweekly arguements hardly make the collision model worth having

This is the workable solution, whether you guys can figure out how it works or not.

This is the workable solution for now. I understand perfectly how the system currently works. :)

Well then, tell all how you would make it  work.
Please, enlighten all with your wisdom.

It won't be me that comes up with a different solution that's for sure. I'm not smart enough with computers to do so. :D That is why I said in a previous post *someone*....and....*someone*....someday....WILL come up with a workable solution. :)

Your comment that it's half a collision model proves that you do not. The limitation is the telecommunications infrastructure, and the hardware which composes it. Until computers can transfer and process information at the speed of light, 100% realistic collision modelling is not possible.

Your comment only proves that you don't understand what I am thinking. And with you, it's absolutely pointless to try to discuss it. :)

What you want is the ability to run into an AC and do damage.
Now I understand.

Then tell us what you want . You say it's only "half modeled".
The only conclusion I can come up with is you wish for the other guy to take damage also.

If warp speed internet were available you could ram to your hearts content.
Till then fly to what you see and I'll do the same.

That's exactly what I do now.

I'm not going to go into more detail. Why? Because that's exactly what you want so you can flame. :)


*edit* oops, messed up on the quote.
