Aye the key you mention is "`" on my keyboard, that doesn't do anything.

I have a norwegian keyboard and the console button is the 'ø'-key located to the right of 'l'. Hope that helps.

you have to press the key that is left of "1" above the tab key, regardless of what its symbol is.
gazui lets you assign a simple key combination to the network stats overlay.

Aye the key you mention is "`" on my keyboard, that doesn't do anything. Where does gazui let me assisgn a key combo? I've checked all the settings and hotkeys, there's no mention of network stats overlay

"Identifying: you can discover your "max sim speed", and all other player's, by opening the console (~ key) and typing in "ren_shownetworkstats". A window will appear in the top left, that will show maxsp, which is the fastest game speed that your CPU can handle."

This one isn't working for me, I tried `~#@ keys and all the usual console hotkeys but nothing happens and there doesn't seem to be a console hotkey in the hotkey menu. Do i have to edit or enable console in launch options like with some other games?

The / key for FPS worked fine

Probably a faulty installation on their side.

When FA is updated, the version number change in the exe, and you won't be able to join a game with a different version.

You're right, it hasn't happened for a while and I think it was caused by patches that affected FA (balance, bugs etc). But definitely I've been in lobbies with people without the latest update and got an immediate desync.

I read on this http://forums.sega.com/archive/index.php/t-103274.html forum that desyncs are caused by processors with different floating point. E.g. one with x87 or SSE (old stuff), and another with SSE2 (newer stuff) will desync.

Regarding desyncs, these most often seem to happen when a new update for FAF is released, because some players have the old version and some have the new one.

You may have seen FLOPS (floating point operations per second) and IOPS (integer operations per second) and supercomputer power being calculated with such a number. It is like electricity, where OPS are the current, which is the product of the frequency (clock speed) and the voltage (bandwidth: # of transistors, general architecture, mem bus, etc.).

whut?

Contrary to popular belief, 500+ T1 engineers assisting an air factory does not affect sim speed significantly--it is their act of assisting each new aircraft beginning construction, after the finished one flies off, that can affect sim speed. This is also a great way to gauge how powerful someone's CPU (single core performance) is.

Ok good, then i will assist my air factory and i will not let the planes take off. that way i can assist my air factory and not affect sim speed. genius.
