OMG AV you have done it again MADE ME SPEECH LESS with your ideas. my GF says THANK YOU!!
it sounds fantastic but here is a thought!!
You ever had too many pilots for a match and they all want a piece of the action?
How about letting them see what a pilot see's in the game,
if C4 is running on the "viewers PC" then the programs are allready up and running on that PC and all that is needed is data from the server, the very same data that is sent to the player that is already in the game??? the data is just split in two or even more and the viewing pilots controlls are deactivated or some thing!!
anyway think of the traning that could be done with this!!
I hope this helps
I also hope its possibe

Well I think you are referring to a spectator mode. I know America's Army has that. America's Army has 1 life to live 10 min missions(no respawning till next game) so it's neat to watch the game while you are dead for something to do. C4 has a space bar respawn. There are lots of pros and mostly cons. It's kewl if used honesty, and called ghosting when used as a cheat to see locations of other friendlies and enemies.. It would also require more connection(s) to a server and prolly create lag.
Yes i see your point on the cheatig side of things this ghosting could enable. unless the player can decide to alow others to view or not.!!
I can also see that in order for this to work Ping times would have to be exact or at least the ping time of the viewers would have to be lower than the person that they are viewing other wise lagg would be encounterd by the player.
As for server the outgoing data from the server could be sent by the player instead, who i guess sends his/her position on the particular map to the server, could this data be sent to the viewer aswell? so server speed is un-affected
As for the space bar to re-spaun why not turn a negative in to a positive and make this an oppertunity for the viewer to stop viewing or switch to a diffrent player on the same side.
I know that the concept is wild and making it work is even wilder there are many hurdles to over come and i am no expert in code transfers all i have is a back seat drivers point of view with extreamly limited knowlage and i realise that im totally out of my depth.
But a grand idea it would have been for the ultimate download
Well it would be kewl like I said to a point. And it's prolly possible. I also think that to try something like this is beyond me at this point in time. I really want to stay with making the ingame experience better for each player. I personally don't care for spectator mode I'd rather be playing. :)

Here is a Screen Shot of a New Map on a New Terrain with a New Env(sky). The C4UD (C4 Ultimate DownLoad) will have a full rack of new FUN for the C4 Community. Stay Tuned.
Excellent job Avenger! Once again you and the C4GET have out-done yourselves. With all the new tools , Player Manager, Host Manager , unlocking KOTH and TKOTH and now the C4-UD , It's giving a new life to a game we all love so much! Guys give yourselves a pat on the back. Yall deserve it!

My Online time & programming time has been severly cut. The C4UD is not finished. Not sure when it will be done. I was not able to get the NVG function working. but I will prolly go with a NVG Simulation Enviroment.
