What happened HiTech?

No it doesn't.


You misunderstand, or maybe I wasn't clear......in this case, the film viewer shows all the text that I got in the game. I didn't get a collision message in the game, which is what caused me to wonder how/why I died. Again, I double checked in game for a *you have collided with* message and I didn't get one.

When I viewed the film, I slowed it way down to see if the C205 was firing just before he collided and he was, at that point I stopped it and made my OP. :)

*edit* Now the question is, why didn't I get a collision message? :lol

You had to have missed it. Because YOU did collide. Can't argue with film.

I'm not arguing with the film or the fact that I did collide, and no, I didn't miss the collision message. I opened up the text buffer immediately upon landing in the tower. There was only one collision message and that one was for Doolitle.

We all die a lot in the game. Some more than others, but death is part of the game. :)

So the question is not "hat killed me?" (we have found out), but "why did I see no collision message?" :)

Yes, originally the question was for a verification of what I *thought* happened based on what I saw in the film. (Should have let it run those last few frames.) Now the question has evolved to, why the heck didn't I get a collision message?  

If I had gotten a collision message this entire thread wouldn't exist because the death would have been explained by the collision message. :)

A better question yet is why has HTC chosen to have film omit the messages that explain what really happened in the type of event that causes more confusion and irritation than any other? :)

I was just wondering why the collision messages are omitted from the films. :)

My crew chief heard HiTech had some really nice Scotch so he went to Grapevine to see if he could get himself a drink. :)


it looks like what happened, is that your computer also saw the collision, although you didn't get the you have collided message..........the 205's rounds weren't even really that close to ya from what i could see........but since ya both went in, and his rounds never touched ya, the pony pick.....errrrr,,,,,,,,driver got the kill on ya......at least that's how it looked to me......
