Uh, I'm no computer expert by any means. But, do you think that sharing a connection like that "might" have something to do with it?

If you play two multi-player games, online, at the same time.  All bets are off, especially if you are using a home class router.

Most FPS games don't care if you drop a packet or two.  Aces High does and for good reason.  By the way, the server did not crash, or everyone would have gotten dumped.

I like this thread... I feel it could benefit by the addition of my most recent ME-262 experience.  After flying around for about 15 minutes, I was lucky to get one kill, then I died at the hands of a Niki who was surrounded at our field by about 8 of my teammates.  I RULE!  :d

Here I am thinking "maybe the HO ISN'T such a good idea, PULL UP!"
(http://www.matthoffman.us/dl/262-1.jpg)

That was a close one!
(http://www.matthoffman.us/dl/262-2.jpg)

Ahh, avoided the collision.
(http://www.matthoffman.us/dl/262-3.jpg)

Buh bye...man the film viewer is awsome.  Yeah, I'm just now figuring this out.
(http://www.matthoffman.us/dl/262-4.jpg)

There he goes, safely away and not a threat.
(http://www.matthoffman.us/dl/262-5.jpg)

It was about a half of a second after this that the back half of my jet falls off and I explode.  I only know this because of the film viewer.  Online, I blacked out pulling up at the last minute 'cause I was about to run into him.  I thought we collided...he must've dropped some rounds into me on his FE.  Oh well, back to the Mossie, I'll have another jet to destroy in no time!  :D

Nice sequence SOB. My last 262 ride ended much the same as yours; i had buzzed around killing 2 or three unsuspecting planes then found buffs. As i closed on a 17, I lined up, steadied then pulled the trigger; closure rate was fast, way fast. I expected the 17 to explode, but something wasn't right, my guns had gone quiet. I quickly checked the ammo indicator, it was now zero and a split second later i rammed into the buff. pieces parts was the end of that run!

Used to be that a disco = half perk points lost.

Haven't seen anything to the contrary.  Quit whining, it's only a game.

If they haven't changed it it was disco with no damage = 1/2 points.  If you had any damage you lost 'em all.

Thats a good point.
If you only lose 1/2 points with no damage then why should you lose any?

:rolleyes: :lol :p


My take on perk points...don't need more than 100 to fly my F4U-1C and F4U-4. :D

Jets are for wannabes so stop whining about lost perks. :aok

Because the program can't tell whether it was a true disconnect or you pulled a griefer move by pulling the plug on your modem to avoid getting killed.

Jump in a Spit V or a Hurri IIc and you will have more than enough perks, in a short amount of time, to roll another 262 out of the hanger.

Yea, I did what bocko did recently...turned a nice Me262 into an air-to-air missile.  Ammo goes quick in that ride

After a few days of C205 flying, I had enough for another.

Hell I lost 3 or so in the last month or so to CTD's (which thankfully I have sorted out now by adjusting RAM voltage).  At least you got to see action :)

Fly an ENY 40 plane for the smallest country and you will have all the perks you ever need.
