As infallible and a perfect rendition of the real world this game is. It is a collection of active 1111 0000, so can have windows as evidenced by the ongoing release of patches and an over worked programmer. Working in the IT industry for the last 20 years, I look at both sides of what I see a program showing me. Anything can be possible or nothing can be wrong as is the nature of those ones and zero's. I just don't fall back on anyone questioning the game shows they are lame at what you are good at. That's a bit juvenile, though this is an online piu, piu, piu kiddy game at it's core.

I feel that the claims of "what you saw really didn't happen" I see so often here are played way too often.

If what the player sees is really that far from what the server or other players see, then there really is no reason to play any online multiplayer sim/game at all.

Personally, I feel that what you see as a player is darn close to what the other player sees.........EXCEPT in times of when ping latency is more than 300ms during a drastic change of direction.

If you are going straight and level at a constant speed, another player would be hard pressed to see any "warps" at all even with a momentary ping of over 1 second.

Now players inducing latency or flying with a known bad connection will surely be showing some strange plane behavior but you will only see it if the drop in connection happens when they have made a change of direction or speed.
