I landed on a runway far within our side and with no enemy in sight.. I think I already even stoped the plane.

All of the sudden there was a boom and straight to tower. A player got awarded for the kill, but when asked he wasn't anywhere close to the point (and I wasn't damaged by him either.)

Must be a bug in the code.

Sucks you lost a 262 like that.:(

Its like the pilot wounded syndrome. You black out now and then, but when you get a 1/4 mile off the end of the runway, drop gear, slow down...invariably you black out again.

I haven't had a disco in over a month, I get 5 kills in a Ta152, done with the mission, turn for home...guess what? DISCO!

It wasn't a bug. It was a realistic simulation of sabotage by the slave laborers at the Messerschmitt factory. Its a feature, and a very realistic interpretation of war-time conditions. :p

Post by: kj714 on March 09, 2004, 01:34:45 PM: Here's my odd thing that has happened a few times!

This happened last night....

I was vulching a base had a few kills going. A 51 is upping in a burning hangar, I dive in for the kill. At a low altitude, I begin firing, , instant disco. That's happened to me a few times always about the same scenario, a pretty good amount of traffic, diving on a con on the ground, ie, vulching, hitting gv's, etc and instant disco. No udp, no warning, no nothing.

I believe that when it happens, it always happens when there is stuff burning on the ground. Maybe my fe is getting confused and just bails out, I don't know.
