Yes I do have these problems, no idea for a fix. You should ask mr Shevchenko.

But at least we can be sure that over a year after release, we have a new graphics engine, which makes the game perform worse once engaged in online combat, the paint job on my Spit looks like a child's drawing, the engine nacelles on my Blenheim are as blurred as, well....blurred; the rpm gauges are sometimes in focus but sometimes not. The few clouds we have appear or disappear at random in a sudden manner, we get a slideshow when we get on the tail of a 109, we blow up his fuel tank and he buggers off like nothing happened, and so it goes on.

But we hang on in there, waiting for the day when it'll all come right. And someday I'll be very, very rich. Honest.

Its a alpha! ;)

So everything is OK, just few details left....

Is it a problem with the customs skins again?

Hi vB, I believe Custom Skins remain disabled in the ATAG Server for just that reason, but I'll check with the Server boffins to ensure that hasn't changed.

I've experienced severe lag (from 90+ fps ---> 1 fps slideshow) when attacking manned enemy bomber formations. I've usually managed to retain control of my aircraft, but obviously aborted the attack itself. When clear of the formation the fps would return to normal. When resuming the attack the same lag would occur again, then clear as I became well separated from the manned formation. AI formations had no effect. The members of the enemy formation all had fairly good pings -- so high pings were not a factor. My pings are quite low at ~40 due to my proximity to our Chicago-based Server location.

Then we get the random "hits" of lag & warping that seem to hit everyone for a period of time (1 - 2 hours approx). I just missed it the other night, but the chat messages were still alive with comments on it, including from MK.MR.X (relatively high ping of 300 -- Eastern Russia) and JTDawg (low ping of 37 -- Indiana) ie. everyone affected despite ping value. Possibly an intermittent Steam problem?

It's strange. I don't have any of these problems. I have weird crap like last night I switched to the gunner from pilot in the BR20 and my plane nosed dived and I couldn't get control of it again. First time this happened to me but its happened a lot to another guy. Then when I switched to his top gunner station the AI is fighting me for control of the turret. This is only in the BR20. But game play and all that is fine. I use to CTD but nothing since the mini update.

I had that problem in the Bf 110 too.
The problem is that gun-movement and trim are set as the same buttons in the basic config.
I think it was shift+right or ctrl+right for moving the gunner to the right, but also to trim your A/C aileron to the right. If you delete the trim or use another "not set combination" it should work.

Actually I try to find a way to use my mouse for targeting, but couldn't find one till now.
But you can also set some axes (pitch/yaw) for targeting. Maybe it's possible to change it from Joystick-axes to mouse-axes through the config directly?

I had the problem again tonight. To me it doesn´t seem to be connected to custom-skins or playing time, it appears just random... No idea why...

Seems to be a data bottle neck when there is a lot going on...could be Steam can't handle the truth:-P
