The reason i cant see how this would work is that if the velocity of the plane is ALWAYS equal and opposite to that of the treadmill there would be no air flowing (well, not enough to allow it to take off) over the wings. If you were a spectator standing off the treadmill the plane would APPEAR...
Meh, i tried playing dust2 and i was getting 16fps and before the update i was getting 60-70fps..... :|
Edit: When i set hdr to on/off i get no change in fps. Perhaps the hdr option is bugged?
Changing your config wont change your ping. It will appear lower on the scoreboard but in net_graph 3 it will be the same. So try net_graph 3 and see what ping your getting.
