I had a brief lapse of judgement in base defense:
Bf110G-2: 13
Damn vulchers.

The ground, the Chatbar, and Lazer.

Punt for SW.

La-7 :mad:

The wait for Nakajima aircraft. ;)

Myself followed closely by Ostwinds

I'm really surprised no one has said killshooter..... or HOs.

I found this to be REALLY strange...
Ki61 - 3
La5FN - 3
one won't expect those two to be the planes you're doing worse against... :)

I contributed most of my deaths this month to Stupidity.
Like forgetting about the compression in a 109G10, (Stupid)
Flying balls to the walls through about 40 bish P-38s going after the C47 and getting too close and colliding with said C47 killing my self and giving Voss a freebie (Stupid)
Taking off in a LA7 to defend a field, just as the enemy captures the field and all the ack turns on me (Stupid)
Flying along in my heavy P38 and turning to help a fellow rook with two planes on him, except forgetting to drop the ordance and trying to fight a Spitfire while carrying 2k of bombs and rockets, (Stupid)
Many many more examples

Ground, typing, HOs, roaches.

has nothing to do with plane types.
My own stupidity is what kills me - because I ought to know better - but I get greedy and reckless... next thing I know I have a C47 on my 6, .45 cal a blazing!
-
GVs and ack.

I'll take complete lack of skill for 100 Alex.

In fact, I forgot to say, what has got me killed (and with a WIDE margin) ,are CTDs and locks of AH. As most of them happen far from combat, most of them are shown as discos. I've got no disco this tour in AH, my score shows 12. I've been flying active again since June 15...that means more than 1 CTD per day.
the game's no longer stable for me, and is a real nuisance sometimes :(.

That's because these are the rides of the "experten". You'll find Hermit and Fariz in these fighters, as two examples.

I have 15 discos over 2 weeks. MA is really unstable for me since the new router. However, my connects to TA and CT are rock solid.

Perhaps I didn't explain myself well in my message :)
My connections are stable and solid. I've got no REAL disco in AH since I cant recall when.
Problem is that I get LOADS of Crashes to desktop, and lockups while playing aces high. Some of them are simply jumps to desktop, others are really strange locks (screen blurs, cursor changes shape to that of windows,and I can do nothing but reboot), etc.
thing is ,has happened at least 12 times in last week... at least 5 times I can recall last two days (today 2 times!). I've lost 3 me262s that way.
I know it has happened at least 12 times because in scores I have 12 discoes, and I've got NO disco in MA...so those must be crashes.
-
RAM, you don't think your system might be the problem?
-SW
-
Yep, in fact I'm sure is my system, but I've already tried everything in my hand to see if I could stop it happening (after losing 2 Me262s in 6 hours for the same problem ,you BET I did tried to fix it :D)...
only thinkg I've not tried is a complete reformat of the Hard disk ,and this is something I won't do. I've got more than 13GB of data into it, and I'm not formatting it. Anyway I'm using an exclusive partition to run AH, so I'm not that sure that would fix it anyway.
-
Well, short of reformatting... there are other things you can do...
Try reinstalling drivers (you prolly done that)... reinstalling DX8.1, etc. You know... the usual stuff. If that doesn't fix it, check the BIOS settings, and try running it at the default settings... not optimum ones.. but the factory ones. Then if you have onboard sound/video after resetting your BIOS disable them if you don't use them (like if you use PCI soundcard, or AGP/PCI video card).
If that don't do it, you can get Partition Magic and create a partition on your hard drive where you can save all of your data. Delete windows and reinstall it again. You'll have to rebuild the links manually to your programs, some you may have to run the install program again to add system files into the system directory or registry entries if they are needed. Then when that's all set, you can run Partition Magic again and that partition where your data was saved can be used again.
Although, if you are using Windows 2000.. you don't need partition Magic.. it should recover the partition without formatting that partition. I dunno about XP.
Of course, you could also check for shared IRQs (video/sound are usually the culprit)... or if your system is overclocked, try running all devices, BUS, and CPU at normal clock speeds and see if that solves the problem.
EDIT: You also might want to check to see if your memory has a leak in it, putting in older memory you know works would be one way to figure that out. You can also re-run Windows installations to "repair" the current windows installation. Sometimes this fixes problems... but you have to re-run DX8.1 installation after that.

tried almost everything except for the Partition magic thing, I have to take a look to the BIOS ,too. Thnks for the heads up.
Will try to see if it works.......one just can hope :D

Don't know how to find out for sure, but it certainly seems like I've been killed more by the Ostwind than any other plane or vehicle type. :rolleyes:

Thanks Bluedog! I was close, 26 times by a B-26, 25 times by an Ostwind. All others are single digit deaths.:D
Now I know what to work on, or...., stay away from.:eek:

Swarms of .50 cal AP rounds, copious amounts of explosive cannon shells AND Arabian Knights (usually in P51's that I dont spot until they're close enough for me to see the grins on their faces) :mad:
Oh....
P51's - 15 (usally flown by the aforementionated dastardly AK's)
PERK EM!
Not the Pony's...the AK's hehe :D

Various bits of lead travelling at various speeds hitting my poor plane is what kills me the most :confused:
