It's to be released with the 'addon' patch.

bittorrent rocks.

stated that it was different? dude - here's the train of thought ok. 1 - our squad - that's MULTIPLE people who have been there and witnessed the wierdness first hand. so - it's NOT a group fantasy. 2 - you are seeing something else so, instead of assuming you are a liar or an arse - i believe that what you say is how you've experienced it. so - that means there's a difference. now - to find out WHAT made it different, you compare the variables. lots are going to be the same, but some things that brought about the conditions MUST be different. see - thats how computers work - if the same piece of software behaves in two different manners it is because something is DIFFERENT. you might see the point by now - when i say "there's something different" it's because there MUST be something different. it's all part of fixing stuff that don't work. haven't finished your whole post yet ;) there may be things i disagree with - but we can figure out why that is too. dude - i don't not listen to what others are saying, i go through possibilities. i've seen people be dead wrong about what i said because they've not read what i have said. they've missed words here and there, concepts, or understanding. if i don't agree it's not because i am not listening, it's because i don't agree, and there's a reason that i don't agree. lol go ahead and drop into the f4 forum - i don't mind - you know why? because even though there's bugs, our squad can do what we want to do with it, and that is large scale co-op in a running war in a realistic threat environment. as someone that contributed what, 2 or 3 years of his spare time to it's progress i know what falcon lacks.

not sometimes - ALWAYS :P but it's always easier to call someone's arguments 'diatribes' or make other snide comments than it is to actually address the arguments - especially if you know you can't ;)

that's the way it is eh? getting tired of feeling like a flight simmer's money isn't as good as any other genre's players - purely from quality perspective. go oleg go! looks like we'll be playing prop sims for a while longer eh?

:D pics, skins and movies.... great to see UBI supporting the arts.

i once did a double take because i swore i'd been doing exactly the same things before... maybe it was like that. .. otherwise - no. sorry.

Hourly consulting rate? What is that $5.56 from the drive thru window at Burger King?? none of your business how much i make :) bet you're dying to know too :P

decompiling and releasing a new exe without permission would be illegal wouldn't it. :) not to mention that having the sourcecode would be far superior than decompiling - you might die of old age waiting. i have answers :) *ommmmmmm*

as i said, give me the sourcecode and i'll be happy to.

if they made the source code available to me i don't think i'd have a problem finding volunteers who would do the code work. it's not an impossible task (who some people seem to take as granted) - for people who aren't asking any money from it. if you haven't worked through someone's code and design you don't understand that fixing problems isn't "magic" - it's "method". the limiting factor is $$$. pure and simple. It's not impossible - it's financially unfeasible. i think the only thing of import would be guarantees of transparent communication AND that any product of such an effort be made freely available to anyone wishing to download it - ala Falcon's development, but learning from the mistakes of the prior groups. LOMAC has potential - it has a LOT of potential, unfortunately in my opinion it is not AT it's potential, and that is fixable. so throw peanuts from the gallery if you like. that's much easier.

i'll start playing to "have fun" once the opportunity to have problems fixed has passed. right now, i'd prefer what time i have available goes into getting this product improved/fixed over "enjoying it". 4 months left for patching.. what are you guys doing besides dropping smartarse comments?

when someone wishes to pay me to design one. i can alternatively charge my hourly consulting rate for projects already underway.

i believe everyone connected with the correct settings - it was someting we did in concert and step by step to ensure that everyone had the correct settings. in the next patch it would be nice for the network code to not replicate a problem with 1 person's connection to all the other users. the only way i would think that this sort of situation would happen is if the network code is waiting for information from clients before continuing processing - instead put a time out on the transactions - if data is not received continue to use the last data sent - this way only the person lagging or flooded would experience the problems, not everyone. if something doesn't work because of a situation, remove the situation, or make it work differently ;) that's how you solve problems :D
