Raider is absolutely 100% on target with this post.

I been flying online simms since late 80's early 90's and it's so easy to run to the "Hack Bunker" when you get you buns handed to you than to look reality in the eye and consider that maybe you are not as hot a stick as you think you should be.

Even with all my years experience flying these sims and including my years as a Pilot evey new simm that comes along that I get into I find it humbling at first and is always a long grind to improve. The longer it takes me to improve the better I like that game because who wants to fly doughnuts around a circus? Not me, because easy gets boring real quick.

A couple questions here for some of you that replied to this post.

1) I dont understand why you are  " IN " at all. Explain please. You actually disagree with the message Raider contained within this post? You saying you should scream "Hacker" before you use the "T" word and "Think" about something?

2) Not being a "BBS Commando" I dont pour over all the fine print of "The Rules" so I dont understand why Raider should "Rephrase his post" as it was said. Are we going to miss the entire point of his post to diddle over the fine print of how an "Appropriate" post should be constructed? Last time I checked this was the "Monkey Grinder" section of a cartoon peanut gallery dealing with a cartoon airplane game. What happened? This become ligitimate English Literature or something?


Anyways, I think this would be a much better game if we all thought a bit more about how something happend to us in the game rather than power whining due to a lack of skill or understanding.

Just some of my thoughts, so now I will put on my Kevlar T shirt for the flames I know are on the way.

Later,
KayBay
See ya in the Sky !!

This does not account for true skill but if your stick is not set up properly or has a bad USB port, no USB powered support or loose/weak parts in stick from heavy use you will not be able to do control the plane as well as you should.

Nose bounce, lack of full motion or spikes all degrade your control.

For the last couple of months my stick would need to be re calibrated once a week or so. Out of nowhere it would just want to roll in a simple maneuver or i would lose control in a diving or climbing turn. Last night it happened to me again while fighting Shuffler, who is an excellent 38 pilot it turns out. After being killed I went up again and had same prob and re calibrated. It was fine after like so many times before but when i mentioned it on range Yanksfan asked if i use a powered USB. I don't and all my usb ports are full plus a few months back I replaced the old power supply with a cheaper version and less watts. My problem probably lies in the USB port as well as many of you who just can't seem to make your plane do what others can......or the above other explanations.

Start at the obvious and work your way down.


Great post btw although I'm stubborn and have a hard time believing some of the things I see.
Indestructible tanks, goons out of control and falling landing safety dropping troops, warp on command, wingless planes, incredible turning abilities and a few other glitches I suppose I should call them. Most can be explained

Great post Raider,
   I had a similar experience that went something like this:

   After getting zapped with embarrassing frequency by DR7 when he didn't hang in bishland, I invited him to wing with our squad so we could pick up on how he so regularly made "impossible" shots on myself and other members of our squad. He obliged, was very helpful and shared a few tips. It became clear after about 5 minutes that the reason he is so successful is that he uses GV's to their full potential within the constraints of the game. He also knows how to set himself up so that he has a GOOD shot on an opponent! He uses the terrain to his advantage and he doesn't leave his tank out in the open and wait to get killed. He stays quiet and waits to get a good shot... boom, you're dead and probably never saw him. What I thought (but never said) was a player using an "aimbot", turned out to be a skilled player, using every tool that is available within the game to get superior results!

Read the rules.

He needs to rephrase his post.
Please quote the pertinent rule to support your reply.  I see nothing wrong with anything, except maybe the title...which actually seemed to get everyone's attention (which I'm guessing is why it is phrased that way).

SEraider. The people you are referring to are crackers (Computer Crackers) not hackers. Hackers work to improve or debug software while crackers work to maliciously gain access to computers or generate programs known as exploits to cheat.

Hacker = good guy.
Cracker = bad guy.

It dose not matter if a name or said or not. Just the fact that he talked about it is breaking rule 8.

ImADot,  I'm not going to break rule #6

Rephrasing his subject would work.

The only thing wrong with this thread is the title, so don't get your 'My Little Pony' panties in a bunch.  SERaider posted a very good topic and a lot could learn from it.

still don't see where he accused someone of cheating or made a description of someone cheating. More i read messages boards the more it seems reading comprehension is looked down upon.

great post SERaider.
