Today I was flying over 25 in La7 when I spot a P38 and P51 at same altitude. Anyway, considering I'm in a superior plane I decide to engage starting with P38. So we go into loop fight, but everytime I get on his 6, my framerate drops to 2fps.
I decide to disingage and head for home telling the P38 following me of my problem. He ignores this and continues the chase along with P51.
I land n get new plane thinking that perhaps its a bug with my plane, go up and it happens again, P38 HO's me, I pull trigger and hold it down cause my screens jerking like crazy and kill the 38, dying myself soon after.
I mention to this guy <empty> he may have a problem with his plane and then get abused for the following 15 minutes. Anyway this guys eventually starts using the F word and I terminate conversation.
Whats up with this bug, supposed to be squad logo but happens with cvs and other objects too sometimes.
And whats up with this guys attitude?
:mad:

That is what is wrong. Unless you can come up with a really good reason why his plane (wich is drawn on YOUR fe) is causing YOUR framerate to drop. HTC said they fixed the squad logo thing, and they told you what file to delete... on YOUR fe.
You do understand that you could have made it sound as if your low FPS were someone else's fault?

"So we go into loop fight, but everytime I get on his 6, my framerate drops to 2fps."
I've seen this too. Check your "Host Queue". When I see the "stutter", my host queue is spiking to the max. Relogging has fixed it (twice). I don't think it has anything to do with the other guy's plane. I asked other friendlies who were also on his tail, and they saw no problem.
-
Doesn't matter if you made it sound as if it was his fault, he should be quite polite anyway. When the communty grows like it has lately, it is impossible to keep the small percentage of anoying <insert very bad word> away. Noticed it lately too.
Then again, with that little percentage we do get it we get a huge number of very nice and polite people and this is what keeps AH good.
Btw, the squad logo thing should be fixed.
-
Its easy to sit back and criticize the maturity level in the MA when someone presents something like this.
The truth is, we really don't know what happened... with a few minor exceptions:
Someone had an FPS problem that they couldn't figure out, so they got on channel 1 and said it may be someone else's fault.
After that... we run into "he said... she said..." as to what response was polite, rude, drug on.. whatever.
It could very easily have been avoided in the first place. It isn't always everone else that's being rude.

LoL well go into the TA and watch the guys Vulch other guys and then u see them cuss each other out and stuff.... all i do is tell one of them they suck.. tell them to cme to me and i kill them.... (there all n00bs) so i can kill them :) but.... what is sad about the AH people is some are like 40!!! and they act like 13 year old hardarse some times..... only way i piss these people off is when i yell on world chat... THAT CHUTE OVER (any base) IS GOING TO DIE!!!!!!! i kill them and then they whine and cry about it.... (i only do this when im bored) and IF i do i kill some one and they say something that isnt a whine but about what i did i respect that and i dont do it agian to them....
peace

You mean someone got tired of hearing yet another excuse in the MA? Unbelievable.
-
I was AFK.

The problem is a wrongly sized nose art thingy methinks. Simply remove it and it should be fixed. If you dunno which noseart it is, just delete them all :)
-
I wasn't warping and conx was fine. Simply everytime his plane or his squaddies plane was less then 500D, my fps dropped to 2.
Now I told them this as they were chasing but they ignored it. I killed one HO. I was accused of ramming, and then these two dweebs got on my case for the next 15 mins.
Kinda hard to ram when you only getting 2fps.
If its a noseart problem then how does the cv cause this as well. I don't think cv's have noseart.

gee pye... you called the guy a cheater and he took offense and reamed ya... I think the solution for you is to find more passive people to berate.

You weren't warping,but he and his squaddies,all of whom are likely on different connects are?
And speaking only for myself,I rarely check my text buffer while I'm in a fight.

The other view point:
After the ramming/HO mutual destruction...]
Pyemia tells me the squad needs to change our nose art...(We shouldn't have any, Hitech had annouced everytime I logged on for a week or so that the ZULUSIX file needed to be deleted)...I replied, "You didn't like the flamming cannons?"...He then called both myself and my wingy cheaters and that we knew we were causing the problem. I mentioned the annoucement and that he should delete the ZULUSIX file. This was backed up by many in the MA at the time. Next time we cross paths, he again claims to have a frame rate problem with us in the area...this is about 40-minutes since the last time and well after we/everyone told him the fix. After breaking off to engage another bogey I find this sucker clamped to my six. The fight and where I broke off was near his base, so if he truly had a problem landing was an option. During this time he didn't have any trouble shooting me down, even with his "2-fps" rate.
After being called a cheater, which I have never done and will never do in any game. (If it was really my life or his, of course I'd cheat...maybe with money involved...but a game...what's the point?)...I did point out the fact that he was calling me a cheater because he was too stupid to read the pop-up message...I also called him a liar after breaking off due to his "problem" the second time...I notice he didn't tell me he was continuing the fight after he obviously changed his mind...but whatever it takes to get a kill I guess. I mentioned I would no longer honor any request to disengage...from anyone. Then I squelched him. Not sure when I started using the "F" word...
In the TOS of AW you could get ejected and banned for a cheat call as well as profanity.
Personnally I'd rather be cussed at than called a cheat.

Amazing Empty... Why do I find your story so much easier to believe?

AKDejaVu, sometimes well thought out lies are easier to believe then simple plain truth. One cannot embellish the truth.
I will not cross swords with you Empty, simply because I have no respect for people who fail truth. If any have reason to call me a liar, state those reasons or hold your tongue.
I find it interesting that Empty mentioned the flaming cannons and thats why I called him a cheat. When I questioned him about why he continued the chase, he stated "it could've been any P38 chasing an La7". This tells me he saw my original message but refused to break off. Taking advantage of someone experiencing technical problems with a game imo is Cheating.
As far as the popup message, never seen it. The only popup message I see appears everytime I log into the MA and concerns a scenario I participated in (V2 rocket bases with P47's vs 109's).
:mad:

I find this insulting.I have flown with empty for almost eight years in Aw.(Relaxed and full realism)and I know he does not cheat.Neither do I.We have no respect for those who do(ex:MMX from Aw...).
The thing is...not one person is backing you Pyemia...why is that?
My guess is you whine on a regular basis.
Oh...btw... (http://www.theunholytrinity.org/cracks_smileys/contrib/tweetz/moon.gif)

My guess is that you are biased. Basing your judgement on how long you've flown with a particular person while disregarding the fact that you don't know me at all. Your friend is a liar as he has proven with his post in this thread. I can only imagine that those who associate with liars are liars themselves. And lying can only be yet another form of cheating. Untruths used to gain a benefit.

oy... lets all go cry..... whine and flame.... we cant get along eh? fight it over..... go to the TA and fight it.... i will go.. see if he really does cheat.... if not then its over, if he does flame him.... i dont know ether of you so dont bring me into this..... And if you try to flame me.... what a sad person you are...
peace :cool: :cool:

Like me said, excuses in MA are nothing new.
-
Fatty - what excuses would you be referring to? As I stated in the first post, I was awarded the kill against Empty. I was not killed by him. This post is more about his pathetic behavior and has nothing to do with kills. If I was interested in kills i'd fly with the FDB's vulching and running together like a big bunch of girls.
In the MA whether i'm vulched, HO'ed, killshootered or gangbanged I never complain. I figure if you take off in the MA, you should expect to be killed.

Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute there Zy-Pye....we never run together, vulch maybe, but not run. Runnin' is fer them squads that fly that silver lookin' plane with the 5 and 1 in the name. :D

The sad thing is that in both the MA and here you firmly believe your behavior is the more apropriate... or even more "decent".
Sigh.

"Taking advantage of someone experiencing technical problems with a game imo is Cheating."
This is where you are mistaken Zygote.
If you're having a problem, don't expect the other guy to break off because you ask him to. Indeed, I consider it pointless to even ask the enemy to do so. Your problem is exactly that--YOUR problem, not the other guy's--so you shouldn't expect him to break off his fight because of your problem.
A few weeks ago I recall I entered a fight only discover my WEP was not functional (discovered later to be due to bad throttle calibration). At that point I was more interested in figuring out the problem than in fighting and I tried to exit, but an LA7 (piloted by some Pyemia guy) shot me down. Did I care? Nope, and I certainly don't think he's a cheater because my WEP wasn't working. From his perspective I'm sure he was just killing another runstang. From my perspective, I had a problem and it messed up my flight.
In this current case, you ended up getting a kill on the other guy despite a large problem. Rather than be irritated that he was trying to shoot you, you should pat yourself on the back and remind him that he LOST to a guy with a single-digit FR.

I read some of this but one thing caught me funny.
Taking advantage of someone else’s mechanical/technical problems is cheating? If I see a smoker I shouldn’t shoot? If you’re having “mechanical” problems land and fix ‘em. I occasionally run into a problem where my FE stutters when I start firing. When this happens I can’t hit chit, my FPS is crap, but re-logging takes care of the problem.

You're right Zygote, I answered too hastily due to my hangover and did not give this topic its due.
This is an issue of the utmost importance, if we are not allowed to call timeout in the main arena, it may descend into nothing but an arena for killing.
I also think someone's check6.wav made me crash last week. Is there any way I can get that death removed?
-
Ahh forget it, your all missing the point. I could'nt give a flying #@#$ about dying and most of the time in AH i'm flying into sectors alone chasing big red bars. Check my stats, I die alot, I don't complain.
But Empty and his girlfriend pizzed me off with their attitudes. A lot of people on the internet feel they can say or do whatever they like simply because of their anonimity. I disagree. Empty goes further by typing blatent lies, probably hoping that these will be accepted due to his long standing association with the multiplayer flight sim community.
I dislike rudeness and I dislike liars. What else is their to say. It seems decency is well and truly dead here in AH.
JAB - if you had told me about your problem, seeing as it was technical, I would definitely have broken off.

"JAB - if you had told me about your problem, seeing as it was technical, I would definitely have broken off."
And, in a reverse situation, I would break off too. But we are the minority. It's not that decency is dead, it's that decency as we know it never really existed to begin with online.
As for lying/cheating......this is a slightly different issue and something that nobody except yourself or EMPTY knows the true answer to.
