Problems with the time compression - anti cheat function

BigQ · Post by **BigQ** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 6:14 pm

My flight was set to max sim rate of 4x. After a while, i realized that I wasn't using the time compression, and so to quicken the pace I set the sim rate to 4x.

Then I get the message: "Cheating attempt detected, flight was put back to booked state".

I was doing normal speed (290 kts) at 11000 feet.

Something to look into. I know sometimes the computer doesn't do the time skip but just doubles the speed, and i believe this is a problem with fs2k2. any way of maybe working on this?

Thanks!

Ah, I knew this anti-cheat-function would only bring more trouble

I tried myself to set the sim rate instantly from 1x to 16x in a 747 cruising, and it worked. But I'll look into it again. Sim Rate changes actually shouldn't be the problem but sudden changes in speed ( e.g. when you pause the sim ).

Ahhh yes, the sim pause

Well, i know that screws up too, as i paused the sim for an impromtu shift at work, and when i came back, i had the same message again.

I just had it happen to me as well, it happened after crossing a line where the sim had to load scenery, and with the different windspeeds, the planes airspeed changed too drastically. At least thats what I think happened. The client hasnt crashed on me yet though, so thats good, still crossing my fingers (but I have yet to fly my 10 hour flight successfully, longer distances seem to throw in some havoc with FLYnet)

Ah, something I didn't consider was, that if you're near the Poles your Lat/Lon coords change significant faster than at the equator.
Try the new 0.3.17 and see if my changes helped.

Well, I'm testing the new one, I've tried flying RKSI to CYYC twice now, and it has not given me the "your cheating" message, but it has crashed both times around the midpoint of the flight, it just stops sending updates, and locks up.

Edit: Fly net has also recorded a landing and then locked up before i could set the parking brake. Ah the joys of Beta.

I say stuff the very good but bugged up Anti Cheat function!

I tried it and it stopped my 4 hour flight!

You're right. Currently it's totally rubbish. You showed that impressively with your 10 flights within 1 hour. Thanks, but one would have been enough

Anyway, it just came in my mind how I can solve all the problems

( and maybe bring up some new ones

).
I'll do that during the next weeks, and for the moment....just forget about the Anti-Cheat-function

I was lazy and didn't get the new anti-cheat version of the client...

It just bugged me with the same cheating message -- ON SHORT FINAL AT 1X AND 140KTS!

Laziness does not pay, it seems
