Pissed off

[214thCavalier]

Flying YAK-9 tonight suffered all these.
Stuttering roll rates, (this usually seems to signal the occurence of a reset from experience these past few days)

On the 6 of a F4U never even fired ,  he bails.
On the 6 of a TBM never even fired ,  he disappears into thin air.
Shoot the wing off a F4U 5 seconds later its back on and on he fights.
2 second burst into an F6,  nothing not even smoke.
Getting out turned stupidly by other aircraft when flying spit 5 50% fuel.
Yea i know it "may" all be lag related but i am still pissed off.
Btw i much preferred the 1.05 patch with the super ack because the patch before, and now that this ones host has been altered by Pyro, this also seems to gives me some real toejame game play. I have to constantly fly with the lower netgraph line up the scale (mebbe you all do ?) and the effect seems worse than having a variable ping.
For the few days we had the super ack it was great i had both flat lines and hardly a problem, maybe coincidence mebbe not.
Since i am on my soap box may i also say to all those "ROOKS" who abandon ship and go to other teams cos "its safer in numbers" or who disappear from the "Hot spots" when the going gets tough or who fly with there heads up there proverbial arse ignoring the fact our home island is under attack...........

UP YOURS <F>

Off to literally get pissed before sleep calms this troubled soul.

Hehehe Cav, one of those days, huh ?  

I'm sure you'll find a suitable Pub, stay there awhile , and come back tomorrow when your hair hurts  

oh boy, do I miss my "London Ale" ...

I get stuttering roll rates with Zonealarm running..

Ever wish you'd stayed on the EAW ladder Cav?

actually i used to have alot of instability with AH and Rouge Spear aswell. I started messing with my RWIN and Max MTU settings and after about 50 different settings i got what I think are the most stable settings for cable modem users and DSL folk alike

MaxMTU: 800
RWIN: 5600

I know that sounds wierd but I sure noticed a positive improvment with settings along those lines, alot of time cable and DSL users set their RWIN WAY too high for downloading or use a proggy that does it and dont know it, with the RWIn set very high there is packet lag and you get a studdering effect.  give it a try it may help,  i used ppp-bost to adjust the settings but you can just manually set them in the REG.

er.....max MTU just sets your maximum packet size.  It all depends what MTU setting your ISP uses for it's routers.  AT&T (just an example) use MTU 1500 which means packets up to 1460 bytes (40 byte header) will get through, anything larger will be discarded.  You can test what MTU size your ISP uses by incrementing it on your system, setting an MTU size too large will stop all network traffic from your PC (well, as far as the first router anyway).

Well its a bright new day and since i have not flown AH yet i am still in a good mood so yes Spro i hope to have a better time of it  
Lol Saintaw when i woke up today i could not even find my hair let alone know if it was hurting  
Swoop i had some of the most enjoyable times in a flight sim on the EAW ladder as you know, especially with some of the newer FM's that were developed (some more accurate than here) but having done it i figured it was time to move on which i notice you have as well now.
I left some of my best online buddies behind coming to AH and i still have regrets about it.
One thing about the ladder play was you became very good in 1v1 situations but in AH thats so rare and to be honest i really miss a good 1v1 fight. Here its more like 10 v 1.
A real good game of aerial chess is so rare in fact nearly non existant in AH now.
Hmm i do use Zone Alarm Pro so i shall look into disabling it and trying but somehow doubt its that causing my problems as the stuttering is not every day but i reckon its worse when high numbers in MA.
As for the MTU etc i have all that set up to use the smaller size of 576 i think ? (cant be asked to check now) for less retransmission of fragmented packets. Using a 56k dial up is not good for Pings etc from the UK, but i got mad enough to get on top of that and having ISDN fitted on or about the 27th Jan, so hopefully i may get a cleaner and reduced ping connection with less permanent packet loss as well.

I saw the thread title and thought to myself;
Better to be pissed off, than pissed on....unless of course your on fire!"

  sorry couldn't resist!

JUst about everywhere uses 1500 as the default MTU these days, the days of point-to-point links at an MTU of 576 are almost gone and larger ones (like FDDI at 4096 IIRC) are fairly rare. Although if the IEEE get around to ratifying a standard for jumbo ethernet frames things might change...

If you set your MTU too high on an inteface you will have problems, however setting it higher that that set on a link between you and your destination will just cause your packets to be fragmented (which you don't really want, particularly for gaming purposes). Unless you set the 'Don't Fragment' bit in the header, which things like path MTU discovery do for you already.

I could wibble on about firewalls, ICMP and how bad it is to discard all ICMP messages, but I suspect I've gone off on one already =)

Sounds like what are seeing is setting the MTU size too large for the local link, not anything from on the ISP side of things.
