My bombers were shot down by an unknown aircraft the other day, blew by me so fast I never saw an icon of what it was, I figuered it was a 262 dweeb.

All an "Alien" has to do is beam you up, turn you upside down, and scan from your feet to your head. No foil in your throat now is there?:rolleyes:

There is for me. Forgot to unfoil a baked potato when I was 7. Now I pick up radio stations in my math class.

How do you continue living with foil having ripped up your esophagus?:confused:

When I had braces I never got lost in the woods, I simply relaxed my head and let it spin north.:D

A LONG time ago in H2H somehow Holly83 managed to join someones KI84 and was actually shooting for him and claiming the kills. She wasn't the one flying the plane but racking up the kills for firing his gun's for him.

I don't know how it worked, but there was a dot following them (supposedly Holly83 in this guy's plane shooting for him) wherever they flew.

There are 2 separate "foos" visible at times, and they are at times very widely separated from any of the aircraft that are visible- in fact, one of them meanders off and goes stationary for quite a while before disappearing.

I'm sure it's probably some version of the skull/raven that the Rat's used to fly around in in WWIIOL, but thought it was interesting enough to post.

Sorry man, thought you were being serious, no offense meant.

None of the above.


Aces high uses a unique network code for its players who are all loged online.
For instance, the update rate of data send and given to a players computer, is all based on (range).

The closer the plane/object is to you, the more data will be sent and had by the target.

Therefor you will see a dot "gliching..warping..UFOING" from a long distance, when you get closer the (dot) changes to a LOD model, and the data start picking up speed.
"Remember the old dot bug? just a glitch between the switch over"


Possibly also the (dot) if at close range is probably just THC watching a dog fight, or another player (joined) on the other plane in question.


I did review the film, and i think it is..

1:A bug between the transition or someone with VERY bad packet loss.
2:Someone joined to another plane in your general area*
3:The *pilot/player/groundtroop* model was changed into a small Dot sprite, so you would not see a (pilot/parachute/troop) floating behind a person's plane while someone is attached to them. (MOST ACCEPTABLE).

And in this films case, im goin' with #3 as the reason.


I hope this helps.

None taken..In general, if in doubt, don't take me seriously. :lol

Odds are that even if I'm meaning to be serious, my posts will be worthy of ridicule anyway!
