Two pony drivers
« on: September 19, 2000, 02:08:00 AM »
I must apologize to and <S> the two pony drivers at v44 last night...

I was approaching V44 in my spit when I spotted three ponys. Bloom25 was engaged with one and managed to bring him down. The other two came after me and after a lengthy engagement my screen froze and I had to reboot.   Took a few minutes to get back up and online and my hails went unanswered on channel one.
The disco wasn't intentional.  

So a big <salute> to you two. (don't know who you were.)  

Great Fight !!!

 Whoever it was probably was on RW with the squaddies or another who has joined the increasing ranks of channel One squelchers.
 I find many "<S>'s" and "nice shot/fight/flying!" go unanswered and I chalk it up to folks being busy or not tuned to chnl one anymore.

Hiyas Griz!

No apology necessary...I got the kill inspite of your lock-up.

Great flying btw...this new version is giving me fits and it took longer than we would have liked to killya, however, you deserve credit for some great flying

This guys hat is off...and thanks for the post...shows that not only are you a good sim pilot but also one with character and class <S>  

I'm Out!

Hiyas grizz,  I was hangin out with Ice and Beemer when that lengthy engagement took place.  Nice work.

About those locks ups, lemme tell ya something.  I was getting a hard lock in AcesHigh about every forty minutes of gameplay sice about a month ago.  I did some serious troubleshooting and have eliminated this problem for my particular set up.

I disabled the tripple buffering thingy in the AcesHigh video setup.

Give it a try if these lock ups are persistent.

<S> Ice and Yeager  

You guys had me on the defensive pretty good there!  
Ice, glad you got the kill...all that effort for no reward....and me just disappearing like that..hehe.

Yeager, disabled triple buffering...so far so good, no lock ups in two sessions...got my fingers crossed.

Actually griz I broadcasted on channel one that you had been discoed.  Was a beautiful fight to behold.  I only wish I had been flying a p51 and not the b26.  Even so the "f26" did a pretty good job.
