Hit Refly

[Python]

Salute

I think some don't relize if you hit disconnect instead of refly it does not record your death which is unfair to the one who won the dog fight so please even if your killed hit refly to allow your death to be recorded it is a glitch in the game that this happens sometimes. You must stay connected to the server untill your plane hits the ground.

[Colslaw]

The best policy is to just stay in the game until the server kicks you, unless you have landed in which case hit refly and then disconnect. NEVER go direct to disconnect.

I may be guilty of that too. I know that I've always waited till I crashed into the ground and have been killed and then I exit. I thought it was stupid to re-life and lose another plane when I know I'm going to be kicked. But if this is the way it needs to done for the scoring program to work I will re-life from now on.

I do the same thing Coleslaw. I try to wait till eather the plane hits the ground or if I am realy low as soon as i bail i hit refly. I rather our team take a chance on loosing an airframe do to refly then being booted from capture then take a kill from somebody that earned by shooting me down. ~S~ Blood out

S!~ Gents,

I recommend that you hit refly as well, but I do it for two reasons; the first is that you will only receive any points you may have earned if you refly before you are booted, and the second is because it awards the kill to the other pilot.

That is an excellent point, Python. Thank you.

Actually, I don't think that some people are hitting disconnect. I was pilot killed a few nights ago and I was letting my plane hit the ground and I was kicked by the server before my plane even reached the ground.

Frankly, the deathkick disconnect timer is FAR too short (instantaneous?). It would be nice to be able to get into the game fully and be able to type a command to see how much kick time you have remaining before you get disconnected. I think 2-3 minutes is fair. If that could be implemented it would be great. I find it frustrating and idiotic to have to connect six times before I'm finally allowed in. It's also annoying to see others doing it in the chatbar.

S!~ Crow,

That's a great suggestion, but I'm not going to be able to implement it. And, I'll be happy to show you why. Here are the contents the FBDaemon2.cfg file;

As you can see, there is no option for a kick delay.

I use a stop watch. Occasionally I forget to set it and sometimes the server makes me wait 20 minutes instead of 15.

[RCAF_FB_Blood]
