its a known issure due to the door being able to open
it just hits some peaple and not others, no real fix

They've taken away the door...

Well, I know for me, it doesn't matter what helicopter I fly on BoQ, there's always plenty of lag. I'm not sure what makes the map so slow, but Rhino himself acknowledges it will most likely be replaced sometime soon.

Quinling, or the so called Merlin Lag?

I believe the Merlin lag's been fixed, with it's lack of door, though Quinling isn't going to be fixed, just forgotten/removed in newer and newer versions. Have you tried the Merlin on Al Basrah at all? See if you get any lag there.

Well that's what I thought before too. I tried the Merlin on training in Quinling. No lag. I played a regular game... lag. They did take out the door too, but still. I think there is still the lag issue.

ye even with the door being removed, some players still get the old lag. Considering re-exporting it to try and fix the issue.

I can say I get the Merlin lag on every map and it is not hardware related, since I used to get it on my old pc and I have upgraded to a new gaming rig and still get the same Merlin lag on any map, sometimes I get the lag sometimes I don't but it lags more than it doesn't.

You can normally fix the lag by entering a helicopter with a wepon (apache) or apc gunner seat, not sure if it works anymore but it always worked for me. I actually never egt the lag now although I haven“t flown the merlin for ages.

About qinlings lag, I get none at all, except on some servers. TG for example when I went on qinling lagged terribly, but i have played it on other servers with the same or more people and it was fine.

I get merlin lag on QInling as well, even without the ramp now...

(Might as well while i'm here...) The rear tail rotor motion texture is wonky, may be a repeat bug report but meh, not a good picture but its something...

I saw someone land the merlin the other day and they put the ramp down some how but im not sure how. Maybe the ramp isnt gone yet
