First off, sorry if this is wrong area, but I thought it alright place to ask this. I am in Australia and recently upgraded from ADSL to ADSL2+ interenet, which is supposedly faster. Upon doing this, I have noticed my lag and ping on FL has actually gotten worse, quite the opposite to what I thought with this internet being faster and all. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be? Thanks.
Aside from the fact that our internet is stupidly slower than the rest of the developed and some of the developing world I think its going to have to do with who you have signed up with.
ADSL2+ speed depends on the copper cable quality on your installation, AND the distance to the hub. That means if you're far from your ISP local hub, you're going to experience bad performance.

Do you have skype or anything else open at same time? This can slow it a little I believe...
geez! I thought Aus would have a better connection then South Africa! How do you play? I can't even fly though an asteroid field with out hitting like every 5th one :|
I close all application that use the network before I play :-/

That has nothing to do with lag, internet speed, ping etc.
So then you just have to swap to manual and steer for yourself.
When you have a bad connection the only things you'll see is...
- Lag with docking
- Other ships bumping around
- Players flying all over the place.
But you won't experiance lag on your own vessel, your own vessel won't just go all over the place of a bad connection.
Anyway...
Shutting down everything else on your computer that uses internet
- hidden updates of Windows, Antivirus etc
- Instant messanger programs like Skype.
- And kicking your family members for downloading ^^
LOl SeaFalcon I am not that much of a n00b :$I do fly most of the time on manual :cool:
Its just I found sometimes I am trying to move out the way and its feels like lag, next thing, boom hit the asteroid:(so I assumed that was ping, could it be that I am using a CSV?

Some ships have bad strafing or a bigger shield bumble then you would expect ^^
which causes you to bump all over over.
