Mission Starts
« on: March 24, 2008, 11:08:01 PM »
OK, here I go with yet another nooblet question that I can't find an answer for...

I really enjoy joining missions when they are posted, but...  Always a but, isn't there?  But, nine times out of ten, the mission time arrives and I can hear all of the other members of the missions starting up and taking off, but I am still sitting in the tower...  Eventually the system takes me into the plane on the runway and allows me to take off, but I am almost always one of the last planes.  I end up cranking the WEP just to try and catch up and often arrive on the target location with little or no WEP left.

Question is this...  What can I do to force the launch with the rest of the group?  Or is it entirely out of my hands and I have simply been severely unfortunate so far?

May be a result of lag. What ping do you usually get on login screen?

Hm. Maybe it has to do with you place in the queue. Like the first one to spawn is the first player in first formation, the last one the last player that joined the last formation, or so...-

This doesn't appear to be the case either.  It doesn't seem to be related to which aircraft in the mission I join as and even if I am the first person to join the mission, I still tend to be near the end when everything spawns on the runway.  Very frustrating.
