    I was flying with my squad mate abblue from f18 to f30,intending to kill cons with few E taking off from that airfield.Ok.It was being a boring mission,coz no one took off, until I saw a Spit otr.Srwing was there and killled him fast.Suddenly a F4F,piloted by -yurf-,took off,and I tried to get a fast shot,but I missed.He was with few E and I explored that in my 109,quickly going to his 6.Iґve put about 12x20mm and some 7mm at d1 (or even less) and he burned almost instantly loosing his tail and other parts.What was not my surprise when he kept flying between the mountains at ~1k straight leveled? :confused: How can it be? :dunno: After that he landed safely..Iґm still trying to figure out "how"... Can it be cheat or game bug?If the 1st option is true he should be punished.If the 2nd one is true,plz fix it,coz itґs phisically ridiculous and impossible :nono: Iґm waiting for an explanation...:zzz:

    Track here.

    P.S.1: Sorry for the length of the track...is there a way to cut some parts making it shorter,like an edit command?

    P.S.2: Plz type .extview to see more clearly.

    Most likely he didn't receive packets with his damage from server. So its a connection issue.

    Maybe was a fuel fire. Sometimes, when i've gota fuel fire, people told me i was flying without wing, but it was due to that it's shown as already ripped off. Maybe he had time before fuel explosion to land, and that's why you saw him in flames, when actually, he wasn't still on fire. Maybe...

    So good cheat and programming/reverse enginering experience will be to write some router based packet analysing software, which just drop those IP packets :)

    Yep, but it would be IMHO easy to recognize because server will send packets to other players telling that "cheater's plane" lost every part except cfus. So others will see burning cocpit which is flying around and shooting ;)

    probably not hard to write a cheat that works on your FE only or on packets generated by your FE.
    probably not hard to steal from your grandmother either.

    about ur question:
    P.S.1: Sorry for the length of the track...is there a way to cut some parts making it shorter,like an edit command?

    iff u watch the track after u recorded it in WB u can also type .record XXX again from the moment it gets interesting and shorten the track this way

    Well,I donґt think it had something to do with connection problems coz my ping was really low that time...imho admins should add this to the "well known bugs list".And,perharps,fix it in the near future.

    P.S.: Thx Pufjer! :)
