Has anyone noticed in online play that your opponent's guns keep firing (he sees the same for you) even when he is not firing. They seem to fire until out of ammunition, so when he has another firing opportunity you do not hear his guns - you just die, if he is mrcraig. We have been working on 'beefing-up' the armor to make all planes more durable. The only 'lead sponge' I have noticed is the Dolphin. I have since pared down the wood 'thickness' to 30 for the dolphin (vs. 36 for the others). This makes for extended combat and a more enjoyable, satisfying experience. If you have a chance to fly when I am hosting you will see for yourself. I welcome the non-stock planes even though I may have to modify them to suit my tastes. I look forward to the next patch (stronger AI and matched pairs) and only wish that it would accommodate Jelly's plane switcher so that a re-install (setup) is not necessary, as was with the second patch.

I am using Paint Shop Pro 4.12

Need a little help. I seem to be able to connect to some players, but not not others. In this case, I can connect to mrcraig but not redvonhammer. I have tried it with and without the dmz and the firewall. I have opened several ports, ie 2300-2400, 6073, 1698, 21000, 1234, 46000, all TCP/UDP except for 6073 as UDP, all to no avail. Hammer and I can play on Hamachi but not directly in the multiplayer connection in the game. We can both play on HyperLobby if mrcraig hosts, but not if either of us tries. Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.
