Shot down dead, but not dead when debriefed?

Hey guys. Been having an issue in AF and also previously in OF that has been bugging me. Several times I've been badly killed in a mission, crashed or obliterated by a missile and when I sucked it up and hit end mission to accept my fate, my pilot is magically still listed as alive and my plane only "damaged". Is this a bug, feature or what? Anything to explain it? Is this happening to everyone else sometimes? I can't say I really mind so much, cause usually when I get killed its after I frag a whole lot of enemies (biting off more than I can fly away with). It just happened for the second time in my brand new Balkans campaign on veteran mode, and I'm starting to feel a little like I'm cheating. I fly with full realism except for simplified refueling and labels turned on (still can't figure out how the hell to avoid fragging friendly ground forces without it).

Had this already been answered in another thread? I can take it. Hello? Bueller?

Hey there,
Rebel, that could be because of your sound driver and card. I've noticed something with combination of : 1. Teamspeak 2. Shoot 3. FreeTrack 4. FalconAF
Yeah, all in one time. So If I don't equalize sampling rates in everything above manually (where I can eventually do it), I loose sound in the middle of the game in Falcon, or just parts, like engine. It is because some Falcon sounds are recorded at 22kHz and the others are 44100. So that is your card tries to use more than one sampling rate at the time. And if it is some problem for sound driver/card it gets to that. Yes, sound cards/driver can play dynamic sampling rates in a range, but not at same the time in one channel. So it may be that falcon, which occupies all sound card channels (0-63 for me) gets *bombed* in one or more channels with teamspeak that sound card/driver cant handle. So it crashes driver and then whole machine.
Different sampling rate in falcon and teamspeak, try to equalize that, say put it both to 44100 Hz or 22050 Hz and see what happens.
Just a thought, but if it helps, credit is on you...
Edit: Or, you send some strange keystrokes (data in memory generating protected fault) when you talk in Teamspeak, but I wouldn't stick to that, maybe.
Regards

Thanks Dimpy - I dont think its a soundcard driver issue tho, because I always use fly using my Logitech USB Headset, hence the soundcard (and drivers) should be out of the issue. However, my TS talk key is mapped to the ctrl key - I will try another key to see if that fixes the problem. Cheers

Thanks for the reply, yeah it definitely occurs in single player. Oh well. Now I did a bad thing and installed RedViper over AF, and it works fairly well. Looks and plays great, takes forever to load a mission as I get farther into the campaign. Flying the Korea 83 right now and wishing I could find an authentic F16A cockpit. Also wishing there was a way to get my in progress Balkans campaign back. I did back up the folder so I can hopefully continue it if I reinstall AF from scratch. Or is there a way to put Balkans back into AF? I really liked the stability and almost everything works quality about AF, but really wanted the flashy graphics and ability to fly more planes offered by mods. Wishing I had a spare hard drive or partition to have both going at once.

Yes, that can eventually be the issue, mine is mapped to F12, and is working ok. Even when you boot computer, holding some keys in boot time can cause malfunctions. I think just "shift" do not cause nothing bad, because it is least significant modifier, "ctrl" is also modifier, but generates more complex characters which may cause code being misunderstood. regards white_fang
