Framerate and aim do run together, just like framerate and latency run together. Descent 3 is a single threaded game, so all of your network / control inputs only get polled once per frame. So the higher your framerate, the more responsive your controls are, and the lower your ping is. That is why ...

one for myself, as well!
i'll play in advance, if it helps.
i've ordered a 3dpro off ebay for this very purpose!

funny thing is now the 3dpro costs less than the adapter.

but for performance, i've done more. ;D

The only commercial PC games I have on my computer are Descent 2 & 3.
FPS games always let me down in the mobility and reaction of your controlled character. Roll, dufus! Dodge!
It's awful.
Descent offers far more mobility. I love it!

They're afraid to try newer and better maps, so level makers are afraid to make new maps because people won't play them. It's the cycle that's slowly suffocati...
