Mother you do realize I am not the one who posted this right. I was just saying that I dont' think it is right that one plane goes down instead of both. I understand about about the lag. Just stating my 2 cents on the subject.  :salut :aok

Any you would be the same guy that wouldn't think it was right when you cleared a collision by a good 20 yards or so, and then magically ended up missing a wing because the other guy's FE said he collided with you ... and your FE didn't detect a collision.

PPL don't listen. I was saying I wish there was a way to fix the problem of one plane going down b/c their comp showed collision. If I was the one who stayed up b/c my comp didn't show a collision but the other planes did I do not think that is fair. I understand there is no way to fix that. I was stating my opinion on the matter, but the board nazi's have to criticize everyone who has an opinion.  :salute

Sorry, but when you post your opinion on a discussion board, expect to discuss it.

I dont' mind discussing it just when ppl try to say what kind of cartoon pilot I am, I should have the right to correct them since they feel they know what they are talking about.

I am trying to not post anything on the BBS b/c of the board nazi's, but when there is a post I want to put my opinion in I will.

What part of this is so damn hard to understand?

If you fly yourself into an enemy airplane, you take damage, just like if you fly yourself into a tree or other object. If you miss ON YOUR SCREEN, you take no damage.

IT IS INEVITABLE, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INTERNET, THAT YOU AND YOUR OPPONENT WILL BE FLYING IN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT REALITIES!!!!! What part of THAT is so hard to understand? If you get a collide and the opponent does, it is because in *your* reality you hit his airplane, while in his, he avoided hitting. Trying to set collisions up to occur any other way would be MADNESS. It would mean that people essentially couldn't trust what was on their screens to be "reality" and fly accordingly. You would be taking damage after cleanly avoiding enemy planes, or failing to get hits after (according to what you can actually SEE on your screen) aiming properly.

I said I understand that. I was stating my opinion that I wish there was a way to fix that, but I know there isn't. I guess stating your opinion on the BBS isn't allowed.  :aok

Dude, you invent a way for us to send information to each other truly instaneously, you will become the world's wealthiest man. In fact, you will be the greatest scientist in history, because you will have broken the FTL barrier. In fact, you will probably be God, because tinkering around with the fundamental laws of the universe is probably the only way to do it.

I just looked back through the thread and did not notice where anybody talked about what kind of pilot that you were. The closest I came was where I asked you to imagine how mad you would be if you went down because someone elses computer detected a collision and yours showed a clear miss.

You are right though there is no way to fix that unless you make someone go down when there is no collision on their computer.

Expressing your opinion is fine but like others have said they will express theirs as well even when it disagrees with yours. I love to debate, sometimes to the point of being a little excessive, but love it none-the-less.

If I offended you I appoligize I was just trying to point out how bad things could get if they caused people to go down for collisions that never happened on their end.

Well ... of all the posts that I have read on this topic over the past 6+ years, you are the first to say that if the other guy's FE detects a collision with your plane, and he suffers from that collision ... you don't think it's fair that you don't also suffer damage due to his ineptness.

Interesting ... if that were to occur, I could guarantee that HTC would be in big trouble, cause people would drop this game like a hot potato and I would be one of the first out the door.

I'm fairly certain I would quit if the 'both ways no matter what' thing were implemented.

Well <S> I am out of this post. Again I know there is not a way to fix the problem just wish there was b/c it is not fair that one goes down and the other stays up. That is my opinion the nazi's can have it from there.

there is the other occurrence, excuse me if someone already mentioned..  someone collides with you, (you don't get a "you have collided" message).. but he was shooting you as he rammed. you die. it appears you took damage from the collision but you actually got shot up.
