So your going to pass on the Team Speak? Sounds like the same story from BOS/NiN/ARN. I'm not surprised.
Really? I didn't say I was going to pass for sure so that's a bit of a weird comment. It's not always easy for me to jump on a mic for a game I barely have time to play with my living situation and work schedule. It's not impossible but the longer hours I work and the fact that my pc is in my bedroom, limits certain setups. Back in college, this was NOT an issue but those days are lonnnnnng gone. 
Late 30's here.
ATF SM thanks for the tip about shadowplay. I have a titan card so I should be able to use that. Seems much more useful and less of a hard drive/file size drain vs fraps.

Thanks for the request for the ban removal and the apology. I'm not sure if I'll use TS when I play next time but it's good to know the channel is available if I decide to. I used to go on ECGN's TS back in the day. Also, I will try to have fraps or some other capture device setup as I'll still be a bit paranoid to be honest.
BoS makes some good points. I definitely have to make a lot of educated guesses and it does feel like a dice roll at times. On the moongamers server last weekend my guesswork was quite shoddy at I got owned by a few regulars there. This one pilot would act like he was going one way and then always seem to invert and slow down right after I last saw his initial direction with the camera switch. Doh!

Flick, I'm pretty sure you were smoking so all it would take would be to catch a glimpse of that trail. It happened super fast while I was in cinematic mode so I can't confirm it was smoke I saw, but I saw something popping out against the orange gazala fog. I toggle between the different views on my joystick quickly and there's usually a camera animation transition . All that I need to see is a tiny glimpse to just get a rough idea of where to proceed to. Even then, it's not guaranteed that I will find your plane as you weren't visible for several seconds.
I have no other proof and no other explanation. It's just as simple as that. I don't know what else to say except I 100 percent stand by my word and my claim that I was not cheating and do not cheat. It's honestly a bit jarring to me that an accusation can happen so quickly on a server like this. I have no clue how much abuse you guys have to put up with from smacktard players that do actually cheat, but I'm definitely not one of them. When I was an admin, I made sure to follow players for a bit and not just ban them on assumptions from one encounter unless it was extremely obvious. There's no telling how many people get unfairly banned otherwise. This is not my server so obviously I don't call the shots but just something to consider if you have that sort of authority/power.
BoS, thanks for the insight. I'll probably start running fraps when I play on moongamers just to be safe. Although my time is probably better spent off the PC these days.

Looks like I was banned by an admin named Flick on gazala. I saw something in chat about a map hack accusation but I was hoping that wasn't against me. I had the altitude advantage in a dog fight as a 109 vs FLick's Spit and I happened to toggle to cinematic camera mode as he was fleeing and immediately pursued that direction hoping he was maintaining that course. I've played this game enough to know that a spitfire vs a 109 with an altitude advantage usually has two choices: 1) keep turning and hoping to get a quick burst or 2 ) completely exit the fight and try to climb hoping the 109 didn't see where you went, then pursue the 109 at same alt or higher.
I was about to abort but then suddenly spotted him where I had last seen him flying towards (to the north), then proceeded to finish him off with a burst as he turned.
It's unfortunate that that's all it took to get banned on a solid server for a game that I love after close to a 10+ year hiatus ( I played a few weeks ago for first time ). I'm glad I wasn't playing with my surround sound headphones or there might be even more accusations as I usually fly high with low throttle to listen for planes at full throttle.
My background:
I've played bf42 since the original wake island demo ( 56k modem ughh). I was an original Desert Combat developer ( used to be a moderator on forums under same nickname too) and I worked for DICE NY to help prototype BF2. I've been in game development ever since and currently work for Respawn(Titanfall) as a Sr 3d Artist. Back in the '42 days I was a regular on the ECGN servers since I used to live in FL/NYC.
I would never use hacks and especially not in a game that I've put thousands of hours into and started my career from. I guess the next time I join a server I'll be sure to have some sort of capture device ready to try and better defend against a ban. Sadly, that leaves with me with just 1 server due to ping and the result of playing a game that's this old.
