Hit Sprites
« on: July 27, 2005, 12:44:45 PM »
Dont know if this should be here or in tech support.

Since patch 4 i cant see hitsprites sometimes, even though i clearly do damage. (Hurricane Mk1)

Two examples:

Flying in the MA agains a F4U1D, i get a shot in from d150, almost 90 degree angle on his tail. Full burst, 1-2 seconds. No hitsprites seen at all. About two or three seconds later, his tail falls off, i get kill.

The same happend yesterday against a P38L in DA. I made a high angle shot on pass, no hitsprites again, even though Silat told me i hit him good. On the film, the hitsprites on his tail can be seen.

If i should post or email the film, just tell me.



PS: I fly with tracers off.

This has happened to me also, in other planes and before patch 4. My guess is that this is frame rate related, sometimes computer is too busy to draw the sprites.

I'd say lag on your F4U story judging that the tail fell off a bit after you hit him.  Otherwise i'm not sure.
