anybody try to dogfight on a lan with ms flight combat sim 2003?

tried it last night, but we were having some really strange problems. basically the two planes were like in totally different places than they looked on each screen. for example i'd be chasing the other player, but watching his guns go off like crazy shooting off at nothing. he thought he was shooting at me. or when i'd be coming up on him, he'd tell me i was like _way_ far off away from him. the whole thing was out of sync.

although you could still get kills on each other, but he'd be shooting at me apparently, and i'd be shooting at him, i'd shoot him out of the air, and he'd be like "wtf i was shooting at you". it was really wierd. not sure what the problem is. maybe it's just too resource-intensive, and our machines weren't keeping up with online play? it does seem to take quite a bit of power to run...
