Performance off in MP
-
Hi, tried a quick TE with a friend tonight, introducing him to BMS. Initially, when he joined the TE, things took a long time loading. Only after 10-20 seconds of viewing the mission screen, the flights appeared in the list. Didn’t think much of it, loaded a 2ship F16AMs (RNoAF) flight in the Nordic Theatre with a KC10, nothing else. Both loaded onto the ramp fine, taxied out fine and took off in formation doing the same things, no tailstrikes, gear up at 230kts, etc. Then he started lagging behind. Full burner would only get him an acceleration that I had at ~5000lbs flow. Braked back and inspected him visually, no gear faults, boards in, nothing wrong. Flaps auto, moving according to parameters. No tricky payloads, a few MK82s and 120s, two bags. We didn’t have time to investigate more, but I thought I’d search the forums. Found nothing, so now I’m wondering if anyone has any idea if we left out anything obvious, or if there are any things we should check that could cause this. We connect over hamachi, so there shouldn’t be any issues there, we used the same room and desktops we’ve used for several other games without issue.
Thanks
Edit: Just remembered, I left the bandiwth at 1024, could this throttle data to a degree causing these symptoms in a twoship with only one AI tanker?

I don’t think so. More likely position update issues (warping), blue bar pauses, etc. Should not affect his jet performance from his perspective. …. pretty sure.

Check his afterburner setting in the controller setup? Maybe it is set all the way to top.

My first thought too, but I quickly realized fuel burn figures would be off if that was the case. He was doing 40klbs and still accelerating like a Cessna 152.

It sounds odd for sure. Was it reproducible? Maybe something wrong with the TE. Try it in campaign? Sounds like you didn’t have much time so maybe later you can test it some more.
Hopefully the experience won’t turn your friend sour towards BMS.

We definately didn’t test enough. I’ve just discovered that ENG CONT to SEC will reproduce these issues, so I’m thinking that’s the case. I’m going to eat my words regarding the fuel figures, I probably just matched the ones without burner. Afterwards I’ll eat my hat.

May be a stupid suggestion but if he’s using toe brakes are they setup properly. When I set up my pedals I always have to reverse their function in the settings menu.
