I am merely the man ( Thusly making it impossible for me to be anyones "mommy") who is compelled to call people out on disrespectful treatment of fellow players offering their equally valid opinions.    I am the man who can hold my own verbally jousting on these boards, jousting in the virtual air, on the virtual ground and enjoy a feisty debate almost as much as I love a zero on zero 1 on 1! 

Yama was someone I shared the virtual skies of Fighter Ace with for many years and someone who's opinions shouldn't be marginalized nor dismissed because of a few spelling or homophone errors.

I am Nishizawa.      :aok

Well, hiya. I'm Arlo. Yama isn't being marginalized or dismissed for a spelling error. I merely mentioned it in passing.
Given his claim of authority when it comes to game design and internet technology it just seemed a bit amusing ...
but that's ok, Dale's spelling is heralded here as a mark of genius. Yama is being marginalized and dismissed (by me ...
and some others) for his own disrespectful treatment of this game, it's developers and this community over something
he apparently didn't fully understand. When many tried to help him understand what he's apparently upset about, he
stood his aggravated ground with very little reason. He started this thread expecting to be marginalized and dismissed
for such. You came into this thread to defend him. Missions accomplished.

Having said that, both of you appear to be grateful that you have found a new home in Aces High and amongst its
community. He just seems to still have a bone or two to pick in public. That's ok, this isn't new. Even amongst those of us
who found our way here from Air Warrior or Warbirds. The Muppets appear to be absorbing more and more former FAers.
I have friends in that squad (and others there who aren't so much). Here's to less being lost in emotional translation, no
matter who starts it, who adds to it or who reconsiders it.  :aok

Dog pile on page 5.  Display righteous anger by calling OP an arse hat.  Post pics.  Get owned (in writing).  Post nonsensical response.

It's not easy being Arlo.   :old:

Actually, it's very easy. I know you bear resentment from my having taken the time
to embarrass you on the forum once or twice (which was a waste of said time) but you
really need to learn to let go. I mean, there we were, flying in an event last night, my
watching over your six. I thought maybe you managed to turn a maturity corner.  :aok

I'm sure it does. Alas, bomber formations don't generally maneuver all that much.

Fighter vs. fighter, however, if it's a tight knife fight then you're just tempting fate. Never get
closer than 200 and chances are you'll never collide. Of course, there's times when one or both
lose sight of each other until the collision happens on one or both FEs. I suspect that most players
that are experiencing a lot of collisions are hard yanking tail-chasers. Which is fine, just don't whine.

 :D :salute :cheers:

This could have been much simpler with less bum hurting all around if it were posted to the Wishlist forum asking Hitech to recode the game from collisions being controlled as a client centric function, to collisions controlled as a server centric function.

And even more elegant, as one master programmer and game designer to another, in an e-mail to Dale Addink discussing his choice of collision handeling in the face of other available solutions.

Anybody bothered to bone up on Shader Technology and how your video card will respond to it with the next game release? Our resident gurus might be able to help the forum understand why Shader will benefit them.

Arlo, your shirt has arrived.



The others were given to Midway, MANaWAR, Handsolo and Grayclif. Enjoy.

Over/under for Arlo pics for the remainder of this thread = 4

I'm taking the under because that's how I roll.   :rock

What I meant, as I wrote, what about the bombers colliding when a ftr comes in too close, how is the bomber pilot supposed to avoid that?

This thread is so far gone, prolly start my own about ^
