It's strange isn't it, escorting the stukas and the skirmish that ensued caused no slowdowns for me, i ended up having my port wing blown off by a hungry hurri. it was my own fault, got my self low on E with 1 hurri on my tail and another 2 RAF fighters itching to get position on me, got myself flustered, out of energy and full of bullets, it was good fun, and to my mind more in keeping with how the battle would have played out in real life. my slow downs and lockups did not seem to be in any way related to aircraft numbers, more a connection issue than a struggling computer.

I have the same behave.

is there a way to not allow custom skins and force a set for each plane to see if this helps, even just to test?

Personally I know I've put a ton of effort into my skins, and I don't intend to stop using them.
I dont have any problem with skins loading. I'm betting these guys that do have more connection issues.
Personally for me it runs flawlessly...until it ctd's lol!

Just got a spot of phantom bomber formation action. Mid-channel, around 4000m. A formation of six or seven would hove into view. As I got closer they'd disappear one by one only to re-appear behind me, lol. Chased em' around for a few minutes until a 'real' formation of HE111's turned up complete with an attacking Spitfire.

Have yet to see any ghost dots myself.. but I tend to go for the human piloted aircraft.

I have been flying bombers mainly this week but with the low numbers in blue I decided to jump into a 109 and WOW I finally seem to be getting to grasps with my aiming.

Only three kills all pilot kills from the damned 303 and a few ditches near the French coast... fantastic fun.

Thanks for hosting ATAG.

Had the same thing. Must be the Ghost Squadron ...

Another thing I noticed already yesterday and again today.

These small single plane T-shaped hangars are a deadly trap to any plane spawning there. One notorious airfield where this happens is Coquincelle (I think that was the name, it is right West of Calais).

When one turns on one's engine even with as low as power as possible and standing on the brakes the plane will turn by itself and bamboom explosion.

Following solution should work:
place an object (static should work I think) into each of the T-shaped hangars and the game should automatically delete this spawnpoint. Players then should spawn at another spawn point. There should be some outside a hangar.

I also think there is still one red flak left on the French coast. Ok. The Brits left it perhaps behind after their evacuation from Dunkirk but I doubt they left the crew there too ...

I haven't seen any phantom dots for several days (since, I think,Bliss said he was loading the missions into memory whatever that means).

Good night last night Krupi. I think some of those 303s were courtesy of 56 Sqdn (but you got your own back in the end).

The game is really coming together on-line for us now thanks to ATAG IMHO.

I still see the ghost formations, not as many thankfully, but still their none the less. It may be that it is only certain formations/ac types that are ghosting but I can confirm the ones that Arthursmedly refers to in his post.
