Thanks HTC for the Reconnect "in Flight" Feature - Works flawlessly for me

[Chilli]

   I am having a cooler, and getting ready for my first missions with a new squad.  And now I have new confidence in completing those missions because my wonky connection discoed 3 straight times within 20 minutes.  On each disconnect I was reconnected in  flight    I was even reconnected in the seat of my panzer just a few feet from where I noticed that I was going to disco.

I can only hope that it works as well for others as it has for me.    A lot of things that I like about this last update, but this really is top shelf "Customer Confidence" stuff right here. 

Dale, take the crew out and spend some bucks on 'em ..... (then get them back in the office and crack the whip and keep em doing what they do better than all the rest).

it is a superb feature and kudos for keep working on it when it didn't work as intended.

The new cloud looks great,  sounds for bomb bay doors, squeaky breaks, oil hits add nice little touches.   

Now for floatplanes out of ports instead of gamey storches bailing out on the tarmac

Worked for me fine today in LWA.

Saturday or Friday night it was not working.  Did they activate it today?

I also noted the cloud update, but didn't recall seeing any change with the clouds (or any clouds at all for that matter) in the LWMA this weekend.

what happens if the plane is shot down before the player can reconnect?  Is it counted as a death or disco?

I did not work last night for a squadie... Worked for me a few days ago, but when I came back my plane seemed untrimable until I rebooted AH.

Great feature though. Very handy for those oh no I just got here and now the www had gas!

Sadly, I can answer the "what happens" part.  I disco'd in a furball last night.  You respawn in freefall.

As for how it's scored, I didn't pay attention.

Thanks HTC for this feature.  I now have at least a chance to get back into action when my connection gets stupid.

Got a chance to test this reconnect feature last night whith some power fluctuations going on making the network unstable.  On a scale of 1-10, it's a solid 20.  Nothing short of 10-pounds of awesome in a 5-pound bag.

Worked for me yesterday in MW.  Very cool!
