:cheers: I am having a cooler, and getting ready for my first missions with a new squad. And now I have new confidence in completing those missions because my wonky connection discoed 3 straight times within 20 minutes. On each disconnect I was reconnected in :airplane: flight :banana: I was even reconnected in the seat of my panzer just a few feet from where I noticed that I was going to disco.
I can only hope that it works as well for others as it has for me. :rock A lot of things that I like about this last update, but this really is top shelf "Customer Confidence" stuff right here. ;)
Dale, take the crew out and spend some bucks on 'em ..... (then get them back in the office and crack the whip and keep em doing what they do better than all the rest).

it is a superb feature and kudos for keep working on it when it didn't work as intended.
The new cloud looks great, sounds for bomb bay doors, squeaky breaks, oil hits add nice little touches.
Now for floatplanes out of ports instead of gamey storches bailing out on the tarmac :rolleyes: :aok

Didn't work in EW 5 minutes ago :(
-
Worked for me fine today in LWA. :aok
-
Saturday or Friday night it was not working. Did they activate it today?
I also noted the cloud update, but didn't recall seeing any change with the clouds (or any clouds at all for that matter) in the LWMA this weekend.

what happens if the plane is shot down before the player can reconnect? Is it counted as a death or disco?
ack-ack

Saved my Tiger today....lost it 3 minutes later :aok

I did not work last night for a squadie... Worked for me a few days ago, but when I came back my plane seemed untrimable until I rebooted AH.
Great feature though. Very handy for those oh no I just got here and now the www had gas!

Sadly, I can answer the "what happens" part. I disco'd in a furball last night. You respawn in freefall.
As for how it's scored, I didn't pay attention.
Thanks HTC for this feature. I now have at least a chance to get back into action when my connection gets stupid. :cheers:
-
Got a chance to test this reconnect feature last night whith some power fluctuations going on making the network unstable. On a scale of 1-10, it's a solid 20. Nothing short of 10-pounds of awesome in a 5-pound bag. :airplane: :rock
-
Worked for me yesterday in MW. Very cool!
-
Ditto for me too!
Great, great, great feature. Thanks. :aok
-
I can't wait to disco :)
Not noticed clouds yet, squeeky noise is very good :old:
-
That would be your chaps squeaking Zack :P
-
I haven't had a disco yet but someone I up often was having bad disco issues yesterday ...He said it worked great..and maybe a little too good.... one time he was nose down de-acking and discoed... when came back he was level flight to his surprise..
-
Very awesome feature! worked like a champ <S> HT!
-
BTW, if it apears you are just falling, you are, remember to push O.
The AI will bail for you and if it is in a chute when you return, you will be in a free fall until you open the chute.

Worked for me yesterday. Computer froze up and had to reboot. I'll be darned if I wasn't about 18k over a enmy base....cool feature.
-
being on satellite this is very cool...except a lot of times I get "cant connect to game servers" and have to keep trying eventually it lets me in.
but this is awesome non the less :salute

Ahhh.
Edit: any chance in the near future the allowed timeout is increased to about 10-minutes? This would make it twice as awesome for those of us who frequently step out for 5-6 minutes.

2 issues with it:
1) drop tanks are lost on the reconnect (as well as a healthy amount of fuel) - is this intended?
2) reconnecting with tanks is iffy, most of the time, I spawn underground.
other that that, super cool!

Were your drop tanks empty?

Reconnect, you have a problem. Last night I had a client crash over a 20 plane furball. Ended program and hopped back in just fine. Got into flight and pulled up the clipboard to see where I was and find a friendly to fly towards. Not only could I see every green dot AND every red dot within a ~10k distance. I was outside the dar ring and the dar ring was down. There were two CV's within ~20k but both were lit, and neither were visible on the map but thier patrol vectors were on the map. This stayed this way for ~15 minutes or so and upon death I wasn't able to select or see the CV's.
I'm also emailing this to support.

no sir. On the three occasions i have had it happen (that is, reconnect with dts) I had over 3/4 in the DTs in a 51, over 200 gallons in a 47M, and a nearly full 2 DTs on a KI84 which I dced at 2k feet after just taking off. On all three occasions, the DTs were gone and a fair bit of fuel was missing from the main tanks. Just wondering if the reconnect drops the tanks automatically because it resets the plane 'clean'.

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW !
Unbelievable !
Never thought we would have anything like this. Thank you so much HTC !
I'm carrying 8 kills last night (P47N). I have 15 minutes of fuel, 300 rounds of ammo, approaching a set of lancs at 20k with 2 other guys last night. I just get into Icon range and (whap), discoed. I log back in, sit in the tower for maybe 15 seconds, (not touching anything, don't don't don't, wait, wait,wait, please, please, please)
BACK IN THE PLANE !!!!!
Got the last buff and landed 9 kills .
-
So the no pilot name Mustang that showed up near a recent flight would be that of a disco'd pilot?
-
Really Guppy ? Did he have a friendly Icon that said P51 or no Icon?
-
Worked great for the M4 I drove two sectors to hit the bishop city.
One of the things that used to stifle the amount of long missions was the possibility of a disco after 2 hours of flying.
All Hail HTC!!

I watched the film and it was a Mustang in the default skin with no pilot name showing.

worked for me last night :rock

So, if an enemy plane is in disco status does he also have no Icon? Will he show in the sector dar bar? Will he show on dar as a blip? Can you shoot him down still ?
-
I have no idea. I was surprised to see it.
-
The AI will show and be scored the same as the pilot it replaced.
The only difference is it will not show on the roster.

Thank you.

3 B-29s @ 369 Perk Points
3 kills in the bag.
Disco on final approach :uhoh :pray
It worked :banana:

Snailman, you been around a long time. You've seen alot of things come and go. I think this is the single biggest improvement in how the game works for us that I have ever seen.
Would you agree ?

For me that was the removal of the dreaded arena caps. No more coming home @ 7 PM and standing in front of "LWO 170/100, LWB 18/150". Being able to reconnect is nice, but this one put the "multi" back in multiplayer for me.

Worked for me the other night. Disco from my beat to hell corsair. Put me right back in the smoking beast when I logged back on.

+1 worked perectly for me the other night and i was realy close to being out of the game for 2 or 2 and a half mins. What is the time limit to get back into the arena tower?

5 minutes

It's enough time for me to untether my cell phone from my desktop, pull the battery, wait for it to boot, connect back up to the computer, start communications manager, start the game, and get back to the tank I drove 2 sectors.
Very sweet.
