    i just want to ensure, what the hell it is:
    http://republika.pl/spuint/fireball.trk
    a netlag (about 8 min!!!), which caused a spit to fly w/o wings and engine with 500km/h in level?
    or...?

    if netlag: is it possible to fly so long, w/o connection from server... and turn to his field with a landindg attempt?
    ive heard rumours about flying cons w/o wings as a common cheat, but i dont know what is this so i post it here;

    before landing the guy makes a fast moves up and down, just like i am doing to bleed away my speed before landing;
    it is not a non-wing spin... just take a look;
    but suddenly he disconnects... so if it WAS a netlag, is it possible to have such a LONG lag?

    Today I have also seen a burning Spit without wings that turned 3 or 4 times to shoot at a 109 - Spit was killed a half minute later (spit-pilot "kalter" on f32).

    Bug?

    net lag?

    yesterday it was the second time when a con killed me , first damaged everything i had, from d10 - d12 distance, he flew for about 1min at that distance behind me, is it possible that this lag lasted for that long?

    I ask this question anytime I run into Mart in the air. Got to start recording my flights.

    I think it's netlag or maybe something running on the server (cheat detection software maybe???????).

    Lag and warp has been real bad lately on every IP. Last night I crept up below a B25 pulled up into him and shot his tail off and then got ripped apart by the otto, in the space of one second I got hit 337x12.7mm.

    Whatever it is it's not pretty.

    Don't forget they automatic record your current fly and save them as lastflight.trk

    if fhlauncher was installed in the older versions place, then there is no that exec;
    u should uninstall old version or install fhl 1.51 in other folder;

    no need to reinstall anything - just create such aliases:

    onstartflight
    onexitflight

    put ".record lastsortie" in the first and ".stop" in the latter

    This an old old wbs bug. I'ts still prevelant in IEN arenas as well. It is caused from lag, a extremely laggy pilot will be shot down and sometimes if he immediatly takes off again his plane will show the same damage he just recieved. To him he is fine, but to everyone else he is missing wings etc....

    @thug: thx;

    @snake: if i am right, than these aliases will work of course.... but in the name of the track time will be added as a part of the name of the track, right?
    and if this is a standard of 1.51 fhlauncher alias, it will be named only as 'last_sortie.trk'

    or am i wrong?

    You can put any name instead of last_sortie
    It works just like if you were actually writing that .record xxxx every time you enter plane.

    And everytime you hit plane, it will record to SAME file, so last flight is lost. (you need to quit wb and rename track if you want to save it)

    I have only 1 last_sortie.trk in my tracks\ folder which is overwritten every time, just as Priest says

    well, when i updated my fhl1.50 to fhl1.51 new aliases didnt appear;
    when i added manually '.record track' i could add a second part of the name (radio bar was opened after alias being used); so i dont know how it is with these aliases and updating fhl after all;
    but it wasnt like U wrote here;
