switching in chopper

[lostinspace]

In this fraps recording I am in the gunner MG seat of the attack chopper and switch to tv... After that I switch back to MG...

Check the result...
(also see the white lines on the minimap)

What is causing this 'echo' to happen..?
Does anybody else have this effect..?

Everyone in the world.

Re: switching in chopper

yeah, that stutter is present for everyone i do believe. what i hate is when you're in a heated battle, and you go to click to the tv. it goes to tv but goes right back to the cannon without you clicking.

Re: switching in chopper

Doesn't seem to affect the people who use seat switching macros, ever noticed that?

It doesn't seem to affect people who ignore it. It just takes some getting used to, but basically just hold mouse1. What macro does, it just repeats a key combo exactly everytime, it just doesn't get confused as beginner pilots do. Some things are not just as easy as they seem and one of them is successful chopper ownage.

doesn't effect people who go to TV really fast either.

Re: switching in chopper

Need to patch this game so the attack chop can't take off unless both seats are full. Pilot of Gunner get killed--then you have 30 secconds to replace them or BOOM. It really is time to get rid of this exploit.

Quit it already, no need to patch anything. And it's not your game, others have right to do whatever they want as well as you have. And you sig says it all...

I used to feel the same as you, but I honestly think you are wrong. Sometimes, there is not a gunner available, or there is no competent gunner, and your team is much better off with a good soloer.

Re: switching in chopper

This happens because the gun can move around but the camera is stationary on the front.

Re: switching in chopper

i think its a bad idea to require two seats being filled.......because:

1: if your pilot gets sniped out, or killed at all while flying, you cannot recover the vehicle and pick up the guy after he respawns

2: there are times when only one person wants to fly the chopper, this would disallow him to do that, and deny your team the help it would provide

3: if it requires two people to take off, and only one person on your team wants it, he would be unable to use it, and it would leave it vulnerable to theft by the other team

4: it would take too long in some cases to take off.....alot of times, a pilot/gunner team has to defend their chopper, the gunner usually in an air defense, while the pilot gets it up and runnning...

i feel the ideal solution is to limit the seat switching so that is only allows a player to SWITCH TO pilot seat, not from

In the youtube movie, I only switch to tv ONCE from MG, then back to MG...
But there are 6 switches visable...

check the movie again please...

1: after you are in the air, your gunner gets sniped--oh well, you get 30 seconds to find another--or KABOOM.
Pilot gets sniped-too bad--bail or die--your choice. (really, how much does that actually happen in one round let alone a few dozen rounds-not very often).
2 ,3, &4:Too bad, the chopper doesn't get used. (BTW ditto all my comments for the 2 seater bomber too)--organise your team or do without it.

But I would be quite happy with your suggestion to make it so you can't switch from the pilots seat.(unless you are on the ground of course).

I used to feel the same as you, but I honestly think you are wrong. Sometimes, there is not a gunner available, or there is no competent gunner, and your team is much better off with a good soloer.

Chopper stays grounded and the team either does without it or it getstwo people get in.

And you sig says it all...

What the heck is that supposed to mean?? My type of sig is supposed to mean something negative.??? I liked the pic so I used it, I could have another up when it suits me, with any kit or vehicle. I use this one cause I like it, I hardly ever use the snipe kit when playing. Thnaks for the intellgent contribution.

Re: switching in chopper

Guys, this thread has nothing to do with solo chopper...

If you wish to contribute, help me by telling me if you are experiencing the same graphical 'echo' as in the movie...
