Title: bogus tracers from 6 after clipboard was up
Post by: bockko on June 09, 2004, 11:40:54 PM
after downloading the patch tonight, flew a mission; I noticed tracers on my 6 , but no nmy was there.  the tracer thing happened several times, but I figured out that each time I pull up the clipboard I see tracers when I check 6 the first time. I ran the camera if that will help.

On a side note, from the tower I hit help, then configuration, then my pc rebooted.

It's not a tracer, it's the clipboard.

It may be the clipboard, but it looks exactly like tracers firing at me also every time I looked back.

It is triggerd by using the clipboard, but even after the clibpoard has been minimized for a length of time the tracers appear when looking aft (and only the first time after minimizing the clipboard); the tracers look like either tracers or a bolt of light about 3 feet (relatively speaking) long. When near a field there are tracers, when away from a field I see the bolt.

Yes misfit i am with you; its not the clipboard when you look back and see tracers! It may be a bug related to the clipboard, that I can accept, but no minimized clipboard should be firing from outside of the rear of the plane!

checked off line, sure enough, there is enough detail to make out the clipboard; I didnt see enough detail on line to make it out. That plus the 1st time I saw it there were tracers, not a side view of a clipboard.

Even still, I hope this bug does not stay long.

LOL I thought I was the only one that had this problem. I must say this is a "feature" I could live without. Still catches me off guard sometimes.

Look at the clipboard while viewing at 12 oclock.

Put the clipboard away.

Look at 5 oclock and you will see that puppy come screamin' at ya.

Fooled me at first, but am use to it now.

Ya caught me too. Should be changed. One of these times it will be real and I will say to myself "It's just the clip board.".

heh, first time i saw this i was about to merge with an enemy. saw the clipboard thinking it was tracer fire, and immediately pulled a hard barrel roll, followed by a split s. hah i can only imagine what the guy i was merging with was thinking.  I think he ended up shooting me down too.
