zeeks eating taters?!?!

Ok disable vsync is not checked on the clipboard in the strat up menu and the frame rates on the start up menu are 59-60.

i've seen that happen on shots like that. i generally just chalk it up to lag.

along with the vsync issue, if your monitor is running at a different resolution than what you have ah set to run, that will cause the same issue.

Thanks gyrene. Also I just reset the modem and found that my internet is TWC buisness class with power boost.

wow, i tried to get that in my apartment but they wouldn't budge on anything faster than the top residential rate. speakeasy speedtest generally shows my connection to dallas at 20mbps down and .98mbps up...not bad.

it may not be your connection that is slow, it could the other guys, and the combined latency between the two connections can cause things like dud taters. last night i was flying a 190a8 with the 30mm guns and had a pony survive a heavy burst from all cannons at 400 yards. i saw the hit sprites all over the plane but they evidently didn't register on the other guys end and he ended up getting away. skuzzy posted a good explanation of the latency thing somewhere on the forums a few months back.

fixed.

fixed.

read the second post.

This was the second zeek that it happened to. The first one it hit center of thw wing on both wings.

[RTHolmes]

would you expect a single 30mm to completely remove an undamaged wing?

 Even though this shows the damage potential of the 30mm,it wasnt fired at the blenheim but rather suspended and electrically fire to give "ideal" blast radious.
      However this is a sidetrack and better discissed in another forum.

If it's a connection issue, then it's not latency but rather the packet containing the message from your front end saying "I just landed a 30mm on your wing" got lost.

UDP is a connectionless protocol so any packet lost is not retransmitted.........though. .......some programs can decide if a packet needs to be retransmitted but I'm not sure whether aces high keeps track of such things.

Since I have sat in the tower receiving bullets for 5 seconds after I got towered, I am going to assume the server tries more than once to send the damage data to the guy who got shot.

Now you just have to find whether this happens often and whether the packets are being dropped between your machine and the server or from the server to you opponent's machine.

That thing with sitting in the tower still being shot has happened to me too. I don't think it's anything to do with the Internet, but rather the number of packets saying "You were shot by this/these guns" just keep on "landing" hits on you. For example, if x___x lands 15 rounds on you, but the first 2 kill the pilot, I think that the other 13 rounds are recieved by your computer, to ensure that you hear each and every hit that x___x landed on your plane.

That's just what I think.
