Title: JoyStick Input delays
Post by: Yeager on December 02, 2000, 02:38:00 PM

Anyone else getting an unusual stick input delay whenever enemy airplanes are in close?

I am using MSPrecPro USB through DSL

Situation:
I am closing on enemy plane and when I start firing at about 400 yrds he starts scissoring.  Now as I try to follow his scissors I begin to notice that my stick input is noticably delayed.  Especially disconcerting is the fact that as I time my shot to intersect the enemy my guns dont start firing when I pull the trigger and keep firing after I release the trigger.

Anyone have any idea why this happens?

Distributed networking means that a wily player such as myself can assume your FE responsibilities, so your inputs are telegraphed across the internet to my machine, hence the sudden delay.  
That is weird.  The only thing I've seen similar is the game's sudden habit of going to slideshow mode.  I figured out it was because I traditionally have the HTC UBB running in the background, and they recently changed their method of putting adds up.  Now ever x minutes you get a 100k download.
