Post by: Pongo on January 14, 2003, 12:30:24 PM
When you get called a cheater on channel one in your first week with the squad you are definate Assassin material.
When it is done by the communitys self appointed anti whiner Rude..
There can be no doubt..

Welcome estes. Don't listen to pongo man, he's a big troublemaker. And he's from up north somewheres. The great white north. Which makes him talk funny. Like those dewds on SCTV. but anyway..

Fun fight curval. You were turning that F6F a lot tighter than I could my g10. I was lucky to win that one.

I was D500 or less off of Estes and Rude, saw the whole encounter, but didn't see a single warp from either of them.  Rude said he filmed it all, I'd be interested to see it, but from where I sat it looked totally legit.  I don't know what was the problem anyway, from what I saw it was Estes all over Rude till the overshoot, then Rude got his shot in, but in doing so I managed to get my own shot in on Rude... must pilot killed ya cuz you just went boom.  Then again, I had ya at D200, I could barely miss.

I had the front row seat, thought it legit, and then had to squelch channel 1 in the aftermath when instead of a for a good fight, it turned to pointless drivel.

hang a cheater? That is your new name right hangman?
Title: Welcome to the Assassins Estes.
Post by: Estes on January 14, 2003, 04:21:16 PM
Yes is my new name and thanks guys! I knew it had to be rude or one of the 13th..After I bounced him I was just thinking uh oh..I screwed the pooch now. But as far as me getting called a cheater..That is far fetched..ANd besides planes disapearing happens alot since the new version it seems like.

EDIT: Yes soda he was saying i was a cheater because my plane disapeared. I dont think it had anything to do with warping. But as  I sound before, I have planes disapear all the time.

Why the name change hangtime?

Post by: ergRTC on January 14, 2003, 05:02:52 PM
ahhh... its all so clear now.

Hang had to take break I think.  That lasted till he sat down in front of the history channel for a bout 3 mins.  Then they flashed a 190 on the screen and he ran back to AH again.

hehe

Well, I don't think this board is really the place to explain that.  However, hosing them off with some cold water should go a long way to getting them un-stuck.

Funny you should say that ammo. We ran a 190A5 mission tonight and and a Jug sweep right after.

Btw tonight I made one of your boys cry after I cherry picked his Jug in my P40B :)

Heyas Estes!

First of all, I never used the word cheater or called you a cheater. Now, I have given thought to what I did say and can understand why you would feel like I called ya out.

I saw what I saw...can't deny what Soda says he saw cause he had the whole view. I was just saddled on your 6 and next thing, you vanished...not warped or micro warped, just disappeared. Shortly after, you were on my six. It irritated me more than anything else and was not personal...I've never even met ya:)

As to a film, I never run the guncam...just seemed the right thing to say as that's what everyone says...I got the Film!!! I was being sarcastic.

I've flown these online sims for over ten years...seen all kinds of whacky things...one thing I've never done is call someone a cheater. I understand all to well that the internet is less than perfect...matter of fact, I'm amazed regularily that we can do what we do every night without more problems or issues.

Again, sorry if I came off wrong...I have always respected the Assassins, especially HB. When the two squads fought in the sqd duel, he was straight up with me and so were the other Assassins.

This exact same situation happened a few months ago when I was fighting Shane.He was in a p51d on my six in a fw190f8.I did a barrel roll and he overshot so I pinged him.All looked good on my end of things.But Shane was mad cause I dissappeared,then reappeared on his six.He sent me the film and I couldn't believe my eyes when I went to external view..I did indeed vanish,sound and everything then "poof!"...instant six shot for me....I mailed it in to HTC and they said thnx....It's frustrating when it happens but not much you can do about the occasional lag blip.

have to say ive also seen a few dissapearing aircraft since latest version.One guy was on my 6 (p47)about to kill me (190d9) when he dissapeared! I thought id just lost sight of him and carried on looking around.I then thought wow thats lucky he must have discoed when suddenly about 200 yards away to my 10oc there he reappeared before my eyes! he looked as though he had lost me as much as i had lost him as he was flying straight. i turned and peppered him but he dived out.

checked my net status which was smooth so i could only guess it was a server burp.

Ive seen this sort of thing a few times now(maybe 5 times) but I dont suspect cheating.

Post by: Soda on January 15, 2003, 06:48:09 PM
You were both scissoring pretty hard and I've seen the smoothing between positional updates make for some pretty strange flopping when planes are scissoring that hard at that speed.  From my seat it looked like you were almost colliding on some of the cut-backs.  Likely that contributed to the issue.

Ok enof people have mentioned it, im conviced there is somthing strange going on with planes blinking out.

Don't have a clue what could be causing it, so if some one mentions you just blinked out, thy to figure out if you just did somthing. Like started film recorder,launched a weapon, lowered gear,just took a hit,just sent voice message, what ever.

i have seen the effect they speak of .

i have a very very clean link to yall in dallas , im in beaumont.on swbell dsl.

it seemed to me it was somhow distance related.

like the game switches positional update speed related to distance ( i dont know this to be true just guessing) at some point( distance)  the system burps and plane goes by by , i saw it happening alot to different fellows nither of wich do i think was cheating. and i hesitate not to call it when i see it as you well know ( im towd ) both had poor acm and the effects of high lag/bad connec (hard to describe but you can see them after a while people appear to fly different with extreemly high lag)

it seemed like it always happend between d900 and d 299 or so cross that line and poof 5 or 6 sec of vanishing followed buy a reappearance. im betting its a effect of a terrible connec just to bad to use for these purposes.

The only thing I could have done in my 190f8 in the above situation was toggling the engine off with key command.
