Possible Theory of the Delay Formula?

<< < (2/2)

Scorpion.:
blah , ppls didn't have nothing to do.

[MAF]mooman:
(279+273)/1000 seconds * (95mph in m/s) / 5 metres

279 = first players ping
273 = second players ping
95mph = speed of car
5 metres = length of car

result is how many car lengths behind you are on that person's screen (and vice versa)

for me and max, my ping is 30 to 40 and max's is 80-100 and here is the results for us with sabre (which is 5 metres long and has a max speed of 95mph)

(90+35)/1000 seconds * (95mph in m/s) / 5 metres = 1.062

i took the screen below when max was pressing horn to indicate we were parallel on his screen. as you can see he is ~1 car behind me so it looks like the formula works :)


this is good for calculating where someone is in a straight line but try to do it in a corner.. you can't predict where someone will be there cos the information isn't available yet. so "fixing sync" is impossible unless you know some code that can predict the future

[FSR]Ush:
Nice maths mooman, me and Max also tried it.. my ping is slightly higher than yours. But the car was a bit faster. I think our result of the maths was 1,3.

RedHotChiliPepper:
Lol Sabre has 5 meters?

MadMax:
bit more
~5.10 to ~5.20
