The flying dead - does anyone read these?
« on: July 15, 2008, 10:34:32 PM »
Just wondering if anyone reads these things?

Anyway - three bugs.

1st - while in a bomber after joining as a gunner, bombers go down but for some reason I'm still floating around like an airplane with half a wing in circles, still toward my target.  I can't see that I'm in a plane, just invisible body flying through space and time.  Try to leave and it says "You must stop your plane..."

2nd - tonight, I'm noticing that I'm hitting stuff dead on, but no sparks.  So then later as I'm flying my mosquito over a heavily vulched base, a p47 and a spit dancing to kill me are having big issues doing so.  I strayed far from base and should have been dead, I dropped my throttle and try to get them to overshoot but they weren't having it for the most part.  They had me dead six a few times, sprayed but no damage.  I though hmmm, I better fly home.  I fly home, despawn then go to pickup another - I click and click and click...nothing.  hangars aren't down?  I wait after I grab a drink come back and finally am able to spawn...weird.

3rd - I take off and see a p47 diving on the field, he pulls up about 1000 feet from me, flies over my head still at 1k, then I hear KAKAKAKAKAKA and am back to the hangar, FAR from hitting him I wonder how this could possibly be.  Next thing I know, I'm drifting off into the air around the battle able to look around ...just floating over the battle?!?!?!?! I kept trying to despawn but it kept saying "You must stop your plane..."

I checked my net connection and it shows JUST below the bar in the middle pretty solid on the top chart, and halfway between the bottom and the first hash on the 2nd chart with a bunch of up's and down's (which from what I can tell is normal...peaks and valleys so to speak evenly spaced about 1mm across)

Any idears?

Had a similar problem last night.

Not sure if it's a TT server issue or not but things got really ugly last night with lag.

Text buffer SEEMED to come to a stop for about 5 or 10 seconds. NADDA typed came through thought it was gonna crash!

Heard my squadies complaining about some ground ack that wouldn't die during the delay.  Then suddenly the ground ack was dead.

Got hung with a similar message about ending flight and ...

Alt+F4'd out and have pretty much decided Titanic Tuesdays are, for me anyways, to be avoided.
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.
