References and Miscellaneous Information

This is where I will be posting a nice sized list of URLs of posts in AAA and other websites that have contributed to this topic by me.

New information will be posted here and it will grow. Smile

CAUTION: Remember to scan all downloads before opening them and next test for corruption.

Feel free to re-open discussion in any of these topics of these links. I am sure that people would be glad to help you if you need more help than the information provides.

Additional Information

Computers can experience a lag which various software can reduce.

Why would my computer lag?

For a CPU to handle connection data streams, it organizes it into segments. Each segment must be acknowledged. There is a wait for the acknowledgement that is called Latency, or lag.

TCP is short for Transfer Control Protocol, which is a system designed to accept the data from a data stream. Acknowledgement is required for various reasons over the connection. The acknowledgement happens frequently for several reasons. For the sake of clarity, I will pass on the technical details. Both the acknowledgement wait and the creation of segments causes delay.

At the point of each acknowledgement, a segment of data is labeled to keep things in order and not lose anything. This causes further delay. Obviously, in a combat flight simulation, these processing delays must be reduced to improve the smoothness of operation, such as in IL-2.

Since most computers are optimized by default to have the fastest website experience, often at the sacrifice of gaming performance, the acknowledgements are too frequent for IL-2 Optimization.

Leatrix Latency Fix will reduce the delay by decreasing the number of acknowledgements. Online IL-2 becomes smoother.

Wow Addon

This website has many useful tools for computer issues.

The Leatrix Latency Fix can be found here:

(Scan the download for malware and test for corruption of files.)

WARNING: THIS DOWNLOAD IS SUSPICIOUS. Though I have seen an improvement in smooth operations of IL-2 online with this utility, I tested the download for corruption, and no adverse things are shown, one of my antimalware programs has labelled this a Trojan. All is well with my system and Fireskull brings you developments in due time.

Only users with the most powerful malware defense should even consider this utility, in my humble opinion. The main reason why I left this in the topic is to be a warning service to IL-2 users.

At Your Own Risk is How You Might Try This. You alone are responsible for it.
