NICE server NSF4, that rocked :)

Was running great for me, and looked like it was set for 14 people. Out of curiousity do you have any idea how much in KB/s that was taking up? Kinda curious what it needs, I imagine it's a lot if it was transferring that much. Thanks again for having it up though, was a blast.

I'll try to put it up again tomorrow night for at least an hour and a half.

So was everything smooth sailing though while you were playing?? I've never really put my system to much of a test like that.

Pentium 4 power baby!!!!! :D

CPA, that was funny as hell when I ran over you. i didn't see you until the last minute, just laying there ready to snipe, and thump! The Jeep is the best weapon!!! And yes the planes are an ass to fly.

It was much smoother than the other 4 servers I tried out tonight.


You're going a little too far with the Pentium props, though

:D

I think the KB/Mouse works best for flying, but that's just me. Hold the W key almost the whole time (unless diving). Just be really gentle, no quick moves or anything. What I did was set up my own server, with just me in it so I could practice. Was playing last night and go good enough that with a teammate, I could fly around, bomb the carrier/battleship, then fly back home and land. While landed would refill on guns and bombs, and my teammate would repair the plane (engineer). Then would take off and do it again.

Or if you are allied fly over the carrier and jump out and steal an enemy plane :)

I fly best with a gamepad...keyboard + mouse is a bitch.

Yeah, it was. I was trying to find how to lay down, then when I found out you came flying over the hill. By then it was too late get up and move.

I'll tell you the secret of not being caught, is not staying in the same place! If you stay in the same place, they know right where you're at. And flying the planes aren't too hard. I couldn't fly worth crap when I started, but now I fly under the bridges 50% of the time and land my bombs where I want them 90% of time. Practice makes perfect.

And I'm up for a TeamAnandtech.

Thats definately the best server I've played on. Now I'm having one hell of a time finding another decent server. There has to be someone here who can host another game...

yeah but see with a joystick you can do quick manuvers (which are necessary to get into dogfights :D )
