Title: What causes the flippy flop?
Post by: pembquist on January 11, 2020, 11:11:36 AM
What causes the flippy flop behavior when you get closer to another plane? I see it I think fairly often and somebody said my plane was doing it on there end, I wasn't doing anything particularly violent just scissoring trying to be smooth. Is it due to lag or is it something about the number of position calculations having to go up the closer you are and basically not having the intermediate frames in time to animate smoothly?

I'm guessing it's related to the code that assumes an aircraft is going in the same direction as the last packet of information received from that players PC. This normally makes the other aircraft's flight path look smoother when there is a delay in the next packet and allows your aircraft to maintain flight when you disco and rejoin.

That makes sense as it happens most with planes with a high roll rate at slow speeds. 190d. Spit16 are excellent at it :)

Wish I knew because it's major league annoying. I don't recall it as badly in AH2 but I may be misremembering.

Air Warrior had the same problem with planes with a high roll rate. In that game it was due to how fast your graphics card could render the image on screen. Planes like the Dora were able to roll so fast the video card couldn't keep up and it would look like the Dora was flip flopping.
The flip flopping in AH has been around since I started playing AH. I had asked once if it was the same issue that AW had and the response at the time (not sure if reply was from HiTech or Pyro) and was told that it was not.

Question: Are other players seen simply delayed (but otherwise do exactly the same thing as at the source) or does it try to do some magic to predict the position ahead of latency?
Example: two planes flying side by side, one slightly in front. Can the other see it the other way around? If in a tight formation I fly slightly before the other, does the other see me slightly behind? I don't think I've observed that.
That would mean it is doing some prediction, and if that prediction ends up wrong it has to fix it violently through flip flopping.

Has it ever been noticed in a bomber formation among the 3 planes ?

I have seen and filmed this at close range. In the aceshigh film the plane is flying normal evasives (like a barrel roll), yet in real time it appears to flipflop.
I have not filmed it with screen capture s/w which might show something different than the aceshigh film.
I believe this is a case of aceshigh s/w and your pc trying to reconcile the difference between where it thinks the other plane is going, and the other plane's actual position when position updates are received on your pc.

for me it was always something that seemed more apparent in AH3 vs AH2.
whenever it occurred on my end it was a player in big trouble about to get shot, so full panic stick stirring at low or high speed probably induces it. Of course soon as the threat passes they resume normal flight.

in an A8, fly straight at 300mph, and pull up sharply, and, as I was told by Pervert, it does an incredible act of dance, looking from his point of view.

About a month ago I upgraded my 60hz, 5ms latency monitor to a 165hz, 1ms latency monitor. The flipiity flop went away and what all those guys are doing is rolling left right as rapidly as they can with a few negative G nose pushes. At 165fps in the game, they are just pulling side to side rolling maneuvers constantly in a rhythm. I watch many chacing them use up their ammo trying to account for it. I'll venture not everyone in AH has a high FPS monitor since that type of maneuvering still works as I watch players using up their ammo.

In the MA now with my 165hz, 1ms latency monitor I no longer see the flip flopping. And my FPS is at 165 while I'm playing. On my previous monitor in AH2 to a month ago and the one before it, both being 60hz I saw the flip flop all the time.

Your refresh rate has nothing to do with it. The planes would do the 'flip flop' while taxiing, then as well in the air.

Hmmmm I wonder.
When I observe a stick stirring 190 the plane seems to translate (up, down, left, right) without the appropriate rotation first. So why would the translation packets get to my video card after the rotation packets?
This is what makes them hard to hit. A planes motion is predictable in that it rotates, then translates. IF you de-couple that sequence, it's a toejam show. :salute

Post by: popeye on January 16, 2020, 09:53:50 AM
I think a stall can produce flippy-flop in some cases. Was fighting a 110g -- not known for its roll rate -- the other day when it got slow and did the flippy-flop. In fact, I once watched a youtube video in which a veteran player demonstrated a stall in a Spit that would deliberately produce a flippy-flop, then instantly regain control (I think it was in AH2).

It really is the same handful of people doing it. They fail to connect on their 450mph pass of a guy, an some of us that have been here awhile are preparing to make a shot as they pass by. Hit them a little bit and watch the flop show begin. Once they hit 1k distance, auto pilot goes on until their pursuer falls out of icon range.

I think people are discussing two different things here. There is a graphic's glitch where the aircraft instantly swaps nose to tail and back and there is a torque maneuver where you rotate the aircraft on the yaw axis. This is why we like video. :aok

Good to know there's somebody that knows what he's looking at! Lovely piece of prime rib.
If you made that piece closer to medium you'd be chewing on it til next Tuesday! Some cuts have to be cooked that way as they're naturally tender--unless you screw it up. Others that start off tough you can cook em for hours and come out beautiful. Brisket comes to mind. Good luck chewing on a rare piece of Brisket!
FWIW I'm a medium rare to medium rib eye guy.

That is the perfect doneness for a piece of Prime Rib.
I would never insult a good steak with A1. Those people probably put ketchup on an omelet. :O

I don’t burn my steaks. Never. I can make a juicy, tender steak anywhere from rare to well done. Anyone who can’t is just not a good cook.
You don't find many men who are willing to pour steak sauce on rare or medium rare steak, that is flavorful and seasoned. It is simply strange to me. But, hey, at least you are eating.

The amount of blood that is still in that thing would turn the A1 into a bloody red pudding.

I'll only eat sirloin after it's been in the sous vide for 5 hours @ 134 deg.
:aok Sous Vide, is where its at! Lucky for me, no one else likes STEAK in my house :x Well, son does, but he only wants it 2 or 3 times a month. I have half a dozen Dry Aged Rib Eyes in the freezer. All set up for Sous Vide :rock Only 30 days, as I cant stand to trim them as drastically as any longer would cause. I like mine at 135 for 3 hours. For me its just a better taste than at 5 hours(Ribeye...dont like sirloin un less I find some good deal on Top Grade steaks). Texture is about the same, that and I am a bit impatient :devil Its all about the sear, in my book. Cast Iron and Butter is my current method. I do have it out in Garage though(my set up) or better take batteries out of your smoke detectors. Once it warms up a bit though, back to Charcoal...maybe :aok

Oh, I don't generally put steaks in the sous vide except sirloin. (but it can make a cheap cross-rib roast come out like prime-rib. 12 hours @ 134 deg :O)
On the cast iron, try ghee. Much higher smoke point so much better heat to get an awesome sear without burning the the milk solids in butter.
Yeah, I have an portable outside electric burner for that. :D

Yeah, mostly the same thing. With Ghee the milk solids are toasted a little bit more (BUT NOT BURNED!) and give it a bit richer, nuttier flavor.
That's the beauty of a sous vide. Turns "select" quality to "prime".
Try a cross rib sometime. 12 hours @ 134 deg, un bag-it, let it cool. Dry it off well with paper towel and sear a tasty crust on that bad boy with mad hot ghee.

Michener, long after his prime, devoted one of his massive novels to Texas. One of the (few) memorable observations I retained from it was that Texans, perplexingly, insist on overcooking their beef. Appears from this thread that he may have been accurate.
As well, it's always fun on the AH BBS to see the way threads can wander...for example, from FW190 stick-stirring to the uses and abuses of A1 steak sauce.

If it has bacteria, worms, or any other illness-causing yuck inside it then it is definitely UNDERcooked.

Yes, but not for prime rib which I do at 175 deg in the oven, the finish at 500 for 10 mins after 20 mins rest.

No, I seldom put quality meats in the sous vide. They can generally do fine traditionally. The magic of the sous vide is taking really marginal cheap cuts and turning them into "prime" quality.
The people who I have served the cross-rib roast I made as noted above, swear I am serving them prime rib.
Ironically, like Par mentioned, the tougher cuts of meat usually have richer flavor than the more expensive cuts that are tender. They just need to be broken down for proper texture.

One trick that I use for all of my meats prior to cooking is to rub a little sea salt on both sides, not much just a dash. After about an hour in the fridge, I add cracked peppercorn, heat up the cast iron, drop some veg oil (high smoke point, good for searing) 3-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the cut under consistent heat and walla, perfect steak. I also make taters (Wedges) that are seasoned with garlic, cracked peppercorn, oregano, parsley, basil and a dash of red pepper powder and a splash of virgin olive oil and then bake them for an hour. I off course add sweet corn on the cob boiled in butter/water. A meal fit for a king or er a glutton

funniest thing about prime rib.
when i met my wife, she invited me to her family's house for Thanksgiving. she told need they had prime rib and it wad great. so i went they gave me a big chunk if really tasty beef with all the fixings, it was awesome, had a great time.
so when we left to go to her place, i asked her so what happened to the ribs? she said you had the prime rib, told her i didn't have any ribs. she said it's prime rib, it doesn't have any bones, so i asked why call it prime rib if there's no ribs in it.
that was the first time i ate prime rib while it was awesome i felt cheated.

You guys work too hard.
Throw it on the grill under low heat and throw your seasoning on top. When it sears one side flip it and season that one. (If you prefer to pre-season that's okay, too, but I rarely do.) One that's done use low to medium heat and turn frequently. When you get the center the way you want it, trim the fat and pull it off. It will be juicy, tender without feeling like an egg, and delicious.

I'll try those fajitas. I love fajitas but mine have never reached the same level as I've had at the best restaurants. I'd love to crack the fajita tech. Skirt is just the kind of poor cut that sous vide was made for! ;)
I'm not a huge fan of chicken breast, but I've made it for people who are. 4hr@140deg sliced into medallions, fanned on the plate and drizzled with a Kerrygold butter and rosemary sauce. People sometimes don't believe me that is chicken breast. A completely different texture chicken than they've ever had in their life.

People sometimes don't believe me that is chicken breast. A completely different texture chicken than they've ever had in their life.
Two words. FIESTA BRAND. They make their fajita seasoning in San Antonio and it's AWESOME. You can use it on ANYTHING and it will taste superb.
The key to fajitas is a nice thick sirloin or chicken breast. Season it, grill it, then slice it up when you're done and it will be flawless.

Proper fajitas are not sirloin or chicken. Only skirt steak. What are you, a freakin yankee???? Jebus. I bet you even put beans in your chili.
Hey, you wanna' know why they don't taste good there's your answer. :bhead
And yes, Chicken Fajitas are absolutely the best. You need to get with the 19th Century bruh. :old:
In any case, use that seasoning like I told ya. You'll thank me later. :banana:

I remember in the AF they server something they called cornbread. It was almost white and sweet and obviously not cooked in cast iron. I was like WTF is this? NO, it's not cornbread, it's corn flavored pound cake.

Fajitas can be anything I make them to be so long as they're beef or chicken. Yes, this is Texas. Born and raised with a great great great grandfather who fought at San Jacinto. We like our Chicken Fajitas here just as much as our beef. :aok

One trick that I use for all of my meats prior to cooking is to rub a little sea salt on both sides, not much just a dash. After about an hour in the fridge, I add cracked peppercorn, heat up the cast iron, drop some veg oil (high smoke point, good for searing) 3-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the cut under consistent heat and walla, perfect steak. I also make taters (Wedges) that are seasoned with garlic, cracked peppercorn, oregano, parsley, basil and a dash of red pepper powder and a splash of virgin olive oil and then bake them for an hour. I off course add sweet corn on the cob boiled in butter/water. A meal fit for a king or er a glutton
:rock
You take the steak out of the fridge at least 30 mins before cooking though right? And add some butter once you have seared the meat. Other than that I agree with your method.

Of course, the steak needs to be room or very near room temp before cooking or it throws your heat and times off. Don't need butter as I use vegetable oil on the cast iron because of the high threshold required by the vegetable oil to smoke out the house.

Canola Oil especially is garbage. I generally use olive oil (when I use oil at all). On a steak it’s superfluous unless you’re going to throw it in an oven because you have no grill.

It was invented by the Mexicans who worked the ranches where I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley. So they are an authentic Tex-Mex creation in every sense of the term. It was born out of necessity to make use of what was not considered the best cut of meat around.
We are not poor ranchers and ranch hands working cattle any more. We can use better/different meat than skirt to make a far superior version of the same "dish" and there's not a thing wrong with doing so. If you want to make yours with skirt go for it. I make mine with whatever I want to use that day based on what I see on the shelf. The butchers here in Texas (particularly at H-E-B) make plenty of cuts that are fine for use in fajitas. Take your pick.
People thinking sirloin isn't tender enough sure don't have much room to comment on fajitas. :neener:

The maillard reaction, which is quite desirable, comes from heat. That's what you're aiming for. Not burnt. That's different. At that point you screwed up. You can get this from a nice cast iron pan. It doesn't come from sprinkling it with charcoal. Lol

You clearly missed the point.
When you charbroil a steak like that it's may as well be charcoal--and charcoal actually tastes better.

Reading is OP. :P
Never did I say I don't like medium-well steak. I mentioned in a previous post, "I'll eat a steak rare, well-done, doesn't matter". Medium-well is a notch under well-done. lol
From how you are talking, if someone put a rare, well cooked steak, in front of you, you'd throw a fit instead of actually eating it. I understand you have your preference, we all do, but damn if I'm going to insult someone who puts a well-done, well cooked steak in front of me and not eat it. FYI: My preference is Med-Rare.
As for A1: A1 is good and I'll have it if I want, won't if I don't. But sometimes I'll want a steak with A1, but get a steak that is so well cooked that I will refuse to put A1 on it. Juicy, well seasoned, where every chew is a nice burst of flavor... *drools*

Sirloin is the best cut of meat out there. It isn't even open for debate.
Wrong, camel fart breath! I would submit Spinalis Dorsi....the cap meat of a beef rib eye. However, being a gracious & knowledgeable culinarian, one of the muscles of the top sirloin, known as the culotte (France) or Pichanha (Brazil) is exceptionally flavorful and tender. :old: You're welcome.

If you had one of my steaks, you'd be whistling a different tune. Though I am only in the first year of really grilling steaks. I'm lucky to have a Green egg now, which makes for some outstanding grilling. Most of my steaks are medium, but the egg keeps so much juice in the meat, that you typically get juice like what you see in that prime Rib. That PR was medium btw.
