I think this has already been posted a gajillion times already but the good ol forum search isnt working again - I am experiencing horrible symptoms of the "Drunken Bumblebee" effect.
Other ships are lollygaggin all over the place when I launch into space. At first i thought it was lag, then I checked my network status window (which conveniently disappears after each login) and my ping was a nice steady 230, with 0% packet loss which is perfectly normal. Occaisionally my ship will stop still, jump 1 k in any direction then jump back again as an added bonus.
I remember reading about this problem in the beta for JtL but I never actually experienced it myself.I seem to remember it being put down to lag...
I have just recently bought a new Joystick (Logitech force feedback thingamy) and I was wondering whether this could have caused any issues. All drivers for every bit of hardware I own is completely up to date, my connection is fast and has no issues while playing on the ground (even in badly lagged out areas like the Dant MO) only in space.
I have not been able to fly for about a week now, and the issue just won't go away. Any other pilots out there have any idea what might be causing it or have any suggesitons on what I could do to rectify the problem?
its lag!

Beer often causes this effect for me....I have no idea where I'm flying...I just shoot alot and roll
Hehe well thats what i thought it was at first lol.
I unistalled the dodgy Logitech drivers and now it works sweet as can be. I had force feedback disabled anyway - so no great loss there.
Glad to get this resolved, and thanks for all the help! /hi5 pilots
