[SlipBall]

There are 80 pilots on ATAG right now...heres hoping the net code was worked on, and has helped

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?)

[major_setback]

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

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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!

lol No worries.. i was flying escort in Spit with another mate (cp) when you came between us and let rip on epoch's blenheim... we were a little surprised!

First quick impressions; some slight loss of fps overall but not a problem as the game seems smoother than ever before. Low flying, I mean really low flying over land is now a joy. On my Dual-Core/Geforce 460 system performance low down and performance high up now seem pretty equal. Clouds still giving some performance hit though.

Had a quick spin around the ATAG server in my beloved E4, didn't see any opposition but came up upon two a.i. bombers by spotting dots in the far distance. These dots DID NOT disappear or swim in and out of resolution but got larger and soon they revealed the identifiable shapes of Dorniers!!!! Is it just wishful thinking or have they got the LoDs sorted?

If they can give us another quick fix for the starting probs of the Hurri and Spit then this could be another two steps forward without the stumble backwards. For me, this is now two pleasing patches in a row.

Oh yeah; SU26? Hmmm...a little disappointing. Could do with some polishing to get it to the standard of the Spits, Hurris and 109's in this game. Laser weapons? Really!? ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
