never thought of this before but it does stand to reason...the lag is an interruption or delay between response and reaction. and it could work either way....you move the controls and the ac doesnt react quickly...or the plane buffets or banks and your response on the controller isnt read fast enough to correct. i think as pope illuded to there are several different kinds of lag. some of them right themselves and some get worse to where you have to dump the game and start over. we also noticed on some of our xbox games....when certain players who are notorious for bad connection speeds show up things start to get screwy. i dont know if the system tries to adjust for the disparity of connection speeds of each player but it does seem it only takes one bad connection to stymie the server.
