VERY cool. No more waiting though those 15 minute combats just to grab four little screenshots. [8|]

Ahh, but there is the rub...

To avoid Sync issues in PBEM both players should let the combat replay play in its entirety without hitting the escape key.

It only happens against ships? Not airfield strafing?

Which I will be tickled to do now that I can turn off animations! [:D]

Actually, I've never had a sync issue, and I hit escape all the time in replay to speed up the air messages. What I do get is lots of CTD's during animations. It will be a true godsend to get rid of them finally.

You can hit the arrow button on the display tho, instead of the ESC key.

Hmm, let's see if a dope like me has this right. If a plane is strafing a ship you need to let it play out without hitting the escape key to prevent out of sync problems, right? That's the only thing that will cause it?

Why do you need the serial to download? It is not in the Members part. Just click on the link and let it go.

From Gawdf××knowhere where I live it is downloading with 65 kb/sec.

no. straffing a PT or a warship even without touching the esc key can still lead to an out of sync.

Its 'one' of the causes. It does have multiple trigger points same as the leader issue. It will take longer period of time to nail down completely which was why it couldn't be included in the fixes for 1.8 Hopefully next patch.
