Title: Vanishing Planes
Post by: BNshill on January 14, 2003, 05:26:04 PM

I was just curious if you have addressed this vanishing plane problem. It happens far too much to ignore now. I have noticed that while the icon vanishes for you - others around you still see the plane (my squaddie saw one while i was winging - the plane did'nt vanish on my FE).

Please say it's going to be fixed soon?

Please post system information whenever mentioning problems.  This will help them see if they can find a correlation.

My system specs have nothing to do with a widespread problem that just started within the last 2 updates.

Any information is good information,  for example at work wwe found out that a certain video driver release was causing lockups across the campus after we added 1 image to the intranet site.  So don't tell me that your system watermelon don't stink.

I've seen the problem a few times myself BN.  
I've got a film where I'm fighting in a 2v1 and I ping one of the enemy planes and he goes into a spin.  I followed him down in case he recovered but saw that he was in a flat spin and almost about to hit the deck and broke off to engage the 2nd enemy plane but still kept an eye out for the P-38's fireball to confirm his death.  I saw the P-38 about to impact on into the ground and then all of a sudden the P-38 was d3.0+ away and flying like nothing happened to him.  Doesn't happen a lot to me but enough times to make me scratch my head and wonder WTF.

It doesn't sound like the same thing akak. He warped to you, but he was always visible. More likely some freaky connection for one of you.

What is being described is a plane simply disappearing for seconds. for then to reenter, often where you would expect it to be. I posted a film of this after 1.11 came out, that shows a P51 vanish in a close dogfight. I checked netstat, and mine was fine.

It happens at time 3:12->3:16.
