Title: Couple of quick questions
Post by: Tumor on April 10, 2010, 11:44:43 PM

It's been a couple years since I've consistently flown Aces High, and I'm also not as hardware smart as I used to be.  So....

Seem's I'm more often than not firing rubber bullets.  Has HTC done anything with the "gunnery"?  Could it be I'm on a slower ADSL connection (always had cable before)?  How about VSync (or, from what I gather "Vertical Refresh" with ATI Catalyst)?

I've got Vertical Refresh always on (correct?). 

E8600
Piles of DRAM
ATI 4870 X2
Creative Sound (uhhh... SB X-FI I think)
CH all around
TIR4

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Since not too long ago, it's best to set VSync to 'application controlled' and you can control this option in the startup video settings of the game.  The same applies to AA (Anti-Aliasing).

As far as your connection, the speed isn't important, it's the latency and presence of dropped packets.  You'll want to run a ping plotter for several minutes to the arenas' IP settings.  These escape me right now but I'm sure someone will chime in.
