Friday, September 28 - Patch...First Impressions

[bisher]

Hey Slippers, can I call you Slippers......ah yes I suppose not, right O.

I kid

Seriously though yes I look forward to doing a surprise attack on Snapper my ATAG friend and his other friends

[pstyle]

very difficult to operate red aircraft above 19k ft. you need to keep rpm at maximum, and lower boost sequentially until almost as a standstill.
Highest I could get 1a100 to was 22,500ft.
Highest I could get 2a to was 19k ft.

Hurricane takes about 20 minutes to start. Needs water temp at 45 degrees. (can they not just spawn already warmed up?)

I was on the server earlier with 77 players, and as usual I had a ping of ~32ms.

Planes were warping all over the place, one second their behind you, then beside you, then behind you again. I think > 40 players on a server is still too much for the netcode.

Regarding the level of detail: As point of clarity I don't have either CoD or RoF installed on my PC. Too poor of a PC to play or be any help in diagnosing issues, but when I did have RoF installed I was getting the same sort of LoD issues with the trees and towns. Is this a program issue or are PC's still not strong enough? Is the LoD the same for every one or is it different dependant on PC specs. Will someone with an I5 and 6GB of RAM and a medium card experience more exagerated level of detail problems than someone with an I9, 12 GB of RAM and a top end video card?

I'd expect LoD problems on my machine and did experience them when I had CoD installed. I still enjoyed the thrill of the flight, though.

That is very disappointing, I wish Luthier would try the server when it is busy.

Well, you have 2 choices. You could either call SlipBall 'Slippers', or 'B****'!

yeah had the same thing... had a friend slice my wing off and he didn't even see me or take any damage. We joked his wing would fall off in a few minutes when the netcode caught up.

Climbing at 7lb boost, 2,850rpm, IAS ~155, rad half open.

Temp gauges all within limits when at 17,000ft my rpm started fluctuating wildly, causing cockpit shake. I was unable to control my rpm.

oil = 85, water = 100.

Changing fuel mixture did not help.

I don't know what was going on.

Only way i could stop the shaking was sub 2,100 rpm & sub 4 lb boost.. managed to get to 19,000ft but could not maintain a climb..

I can confirm this.

Well, I was the "douchebag" that killed your gunner.....was that Epoch? (The friendly gunner in your Blennie that was waving to me just as I pressed the FIRE button?). I just came off one dogfight up higher and heard Ekko and Dutch say "they were with a twin engine over the ships". I thought I made a BEAUTIFUL stern attack on you with Dutch and Ekko strangely flying benignly to either side of you......

You should have heard them chortle when they read your chat message! Geez, this was just after I used the patch YOU so kindly mirrored for us.

In penance I'm eating an entire all-dressed pizza tonight and won't stop 'til I drop -- I feel that badly.

Seriously - sorry mate!

Hey Bish, how are ya! It'd be great to see you online, even if you're flying for The Dark Side.

I'll be watching my six more than ever, now!!!!!
