Post by: Anaxogoras on January 04, 2008, 07:07:26 PM: You're making a big assumption: That a new player to AH can't know what he's talking about when it comes to the online flight sim genre. I cut my teeth with WB 1.x and 2.0, but have been away from online flight sims for years until now.

Did you have a look at your net status when this was happening? Did it happen at a certain distance every time? The closer you get the more info comes across to your computer (basically).

And just as a gentle prod, these types of threads generally don't do very well here on the BBS. If you think something is questionable, send the info direct to support at hitech creations. Don't bring it here.

As far as bailing Buff drivers goes...heh..well it happens to us all. It's thier $14.95, and I don't get worked up about it.

cheers,
RTR

The chance of his keeping it are probably slim though :)

The obvious answer to this is to just not give him a check 6 call, or any other help for that matter. Don't forget to mute him lest he cry about you not helping.

Yes, but the method of filter is different, they keep locking/reserve possible offensive ID's so they are not available, and people keep comming up with new variations. For instance, Im sure that particular ID sans the "er" has been locked for years.

Trainers report bad ID's routienly since new accounts often pass through the TA. A .report or email to the support address is the best course of action when spotting a questionable ID. Saying it out loud on an open channel OTOH, probably isn't.

Post by: LePaul on January 05, 2008, 03:50:09 AM: Id trade the chat filtering for a means to block local squeakers hitting the profanity hard when Mommy isnt looking.

Nothing ends my flying faster than the endless profanity on vox while flying with the kids nearby.

Yes, I have headsets...but sometimes its nice to use the surround speaker system.

Picture a jackhammer in one hand and a joystick in the other...a series of very quick, herky-jerky X & Y axis movements. Conventional wisdom (dunno how true it is) assumes that stick stirring produces an overload of data to the front end, producing packet loss which results in warping.
