I think it's more important to know his settings. Looked very nice but not at the highest settings. I,ve read reports from guys with 980x, 990x gtx 580 and gtx 590 and gobs of ram that are still getting bad performance. There are a few things that need to be turned down in order to get acceptable performance on any machine.

I don't even have the game yet. I'll buy it when it gets released in the US just to support Oleg. Not even going to mess with it unless the micro stutters get fixed. My computer is at the lower end of the spectrum and I just don't have the time/patience to screw around with it when I know that at best it'll be a stuttering mess. I can deal with low framerates in the low twenties but micro stutters freak me out. When it is optimized I'll built a rig that will run the game at the highest settings. Probably after the summer, Bulldozer and Ivey Bridge will be on the market then.

Thanks mate. The lowest frame-rates I was seeing while recording that stuff were in the high teens. I think the final video actually makes it look a little bit smoother than it really was.

Just to state the obvious though, it was almost all flown and recorded using external views, there's no way it would have looked that smooth using cockpit view, even with minimum settings.

Guys,

I think it is time to start including an information if you rendered these videos or not.

Now that you mention it, has anyone actually posted a video that was made using the built in recorder thing? I still haven't seen one as far as I know.

What I have just done is make a video showing London on full settings with no stuttering, using an old technique from way back. Am just waiting for it to upload, will explain more later.

Edit - here you go (Edit- Video removed.)

Decrease in-game speed to 25%, record with FRAPS at 30 fps, speed up the clip by 400% in an editor that can do that, and there you have it. You lose sound, but you could try adding some in later from another recording if you wanted to.

[Robert]

I don't have CoD yet, so I don't know how the AVI renderer works in the game.

That said, anyone I've read who's said they tried to use this feature couldn't get it working. Not sure if a codec has to be installed or what, but.....

I know the latest hysteria is rendered videos being used to fake out unsuspecting customers and fans. I asked below in a different topic because another forum was propagating that mystery/fallacy.





Personally, the game not being smooth for 40 - 100 planes doesn't affect me yet. I've got a low end system and don't see me upgrading for a while. Sorties of me in a Hawker taking pot shots at Ju 87s over the channel will be all I manage for a while. I'm much more concerned about AI.

B-E-A-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- Tee- Fulllllll, Les.

Thanks mate. It was just a quick demo of the technique, showing off the beauty the developers have created. Hopefully others can use it to make some better video's.

Edit - Here's another one, http://www.vimeo.com/21929549. A lot of the finer details have been crushed in converting the video, it looks better on the version you can download via the link on the bottom right of the screen. I sped this one up more too, so the camera moves around a lot more, but I think the object's movements look more normal.

One thing you accomplished in your video...

The .303 doesn't pack much power. You have to get so darn close to make kills, almost to point of thinking you're going to ram.

In Online combat, if you shut down your Spit to follow a 110 like that you will be toast.

I suggest you maintain higher speeds and don't shoot until you are about to run over the enemy. You will have to make more passes of course, but your chances of staying alive are improved.

I think you'll find that may be the way of it in BOB COD, unless you fly for German side.

The .303 is a peashooter you really have to hit the rights spots with the new damage modeling. Little puffs of smoke and pieces flying don't mean zip even when you think you are getting good hits. The smoke, flashes and pieces are just to let you know hit something. LOL

We will have to fly the German side, if we want to really break some stuff.

Thanks for the video

However, easily the most surreal sight is to be found in your other vid, the one where Tower Bridge sinks below the surface of the Thames like a ship that has been torpedoed....

And trees, greenery, and open spaces between every row of houses in London. What are they like, these Russian developers? :razz:

Ha, ya... I did have fun flying around. Your vid looks nice though, will be good once some of these things are patched up and we can get better performance.

[wilburnator]

I made these to show what playing CloD on an Eyefinity system would be like if they get around to enabling Crossfire/SLI support so you could actually play it like this. As it is now, I get 6 to 10 FPS on three screens, 5264x1050, with mostly low settings with as much turned off or down in the conf.ini as I could find. It's absolutely unplayable at this resolution.

To get this video, I played tracks at half speed and recorded them at 8 fps, then used VirtualDub to bring it back to normal speed, at 16 fps.This is why there is no sound. It was the best I could do, and it dragged my pc almost to a halt, lol. I hope the get this sorted out, if they do, it will be a beautiful game. I would think it could be done, because I can run Rise of Flight in eyefinity perfectly at high settings, everything on, total fluidly, on the same pc.:rolleyes:

My system specs are-

Intel Core I7 974 E
ATI HD 5770 x3 in Crossfire
6 gigs 1600 mhz DDR3
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Anyway, forgive the bad flying and shooting. All my controls seem overly sensitive, even though I used the in game axis settings to tone them down as much as possible. It's VERY hard to fly and shoot and hit anything compared to 1946... Watch them at youtube in maximum quality in full screen if you want to really see anything. Details are tiny and almost impossible to see when wide Eyefinity videos are constrained to the standard youtube window size.:-)

only happens when your model level is set to low......I havent seen that happen any other time, and there should be no need to set model to low because it has no hit on performance.

[Blackdog_kt]

This has been acknowledged by Luthier, it's a bug in the Hurricane model when using low model detail.

Just recorded a .trk track for the first time and managed to export it as an AVI, making the unplayable .trk look playable on the highest video settings. Turns out I didn't have to do all that live playing and recording with FRAPS at low speed then speeding it up later in editing after all.

Still can't get the sound to work properly though, it's either distorted, or clear but looping, or not there at all, depending on my in-game audio settings. If anyone's got it working (why aren't you posting video's?) can you tell me what video codec and audio settings you're using? (There are work-arounds I guess, like just playing the track and recording the audio only and dubbing it onto the AVI, but it'd be better not to have to.) Must get some sleep now though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoWmVvE9qDU

Am I incorrect to say the Hurri was spinning the wrong way? Isn't the remaining wing suppose to rise and not fall since there is no resistance left on the other side of the plane?

[kedrednael]

Am I incorrect to say the Hurri was spinning the wrong way? Isn't the remaining wing suppose to rise and not fall since there is no resistance left on the other side of the plane?

It is probably going to rise because the remaining wing still generates lift. But yes, it was spinning the wrong way.

[SQB]

Am I incorrect to say the Hurri was spinning the wrong way? Isn't the remaining wing suppose to rise and not fall since there is no resistance left on the other side of the plane?

not necessarily, in this case the crash caused the wing to stall and the nose to point down, therefore the spinning is caused by drag. The left wing has more drag then... the air on the right so it forces the plane around. Just a note the plane will continue rotating with a lowered nose unless the wing starts to create lift again. It's basically an auto-rotating lone wing so the plane behaves like it's in an upside down spin. Nasty.

At around:the 22th second into this vid you can see the actual trails of spend bullet casings from the shooting plane coming nose on.

Upon close examination, the spent bullet casings are visibly streaming from the bottom of each wing, before the first tracers ignite and come flying by.

Here's a quick mission against 2 a.i. Beaufighters. Sorry it's a bit dark, the lighting looked so cool when I was playing, but compressed for Youtube it is hard to make out what I'm shooting at. I'm still getting used how much different it feels than IL2 '46. I turned headshake off, and even disabled 2 of the 6 "DOF" in my TIR profile to tame the pilots POV. In my opinion, the the headshake is way over done. With it on, it's extremely hard to get your eye to the crosshairs unless you fly straight and level.

Anyway, I'm very slowly figuring this thing out, and I'm starting to see what this game could be if they sort out the technical issues.

@ wilburnator
I've been interested in certain SOW:BoB (now ClOD) historically inaccurate aircraft Unit ID markings, both RAF and Luftwaffe, since many many long months ago in the weekly update Screencaps and later videos.

Now in this ClOD video, wilburnator, you are flying a Bf109E with markings 3U+AA. Is that a pre-packaged default skin, or did you create it yourself? The 3U would identify the Unit as ZG26; the final A would identify it as an aircraft of the Geschwader Stab; the third place A would usually be the letter for the aircraft of the Geschwader Kommodore, and should be Blue in color, not green, as would be all aircraft of the Geschwader Stab.

Also, as far as I know ZG 26 flew Bf110's, not Bf109's...(though earlier in the '39 timeframe II Gruppe of ZG26 for a time did apparently fly Bf109's)

So, the question is...in ClOD, was this aircraft skin a default one for ZG26? Or, did you just randomly select Unit ID letters for your Bf109?

[wilburnator]

It's just the skin the game picked for me. I haven't figured out how to choose skins in the qmb.

Here's something I just cooked up in the full mission builder. It's not a 'real' video as such, is totally non-historical and technically flawed. Just wanted to see how much stuff I could cram in, then got tired of messing around with it and decided to leave it as is. I could almost do a making-of documentary on it there was so much stuffing around involved.

Again, it was just meant to be a bit of fun, but when I first watched it back, I was a little bit shocked by the intensity of it. Not sure if anyone else will get the same impression, but it's reminded me of how terrifying what some of those guys went through, was.

Here's something I just cooked up in the full mission builder. It's not a 'real' video as such, is totally non-historical and technically flawed. Just wanted to see how much stuff I could cram in, then got tired of messing around with it and decided to leave it as is. I could almost do a making-of documentary on it there was so much stuffing around involved.

Again, it was just meant to be a bit of fun, but when I first watched it back, I was a little bit shocked by the intensity of it. Not sure if anyone else will get the same impression, but it's reminded me of how terrifying what some of those guys went through, was.

What are all those black straight line things , seemingly coming from flak explosions? If intend to represent shrapnel, I'd say the effect is totally unrealistic.

They look like the same 'lines' some can see in their field of vision, I think it's the same graphical glitch.

I've read somewhere they are in fact meant to represent shrapnel, and I agree they look way overdone IMO, even on a small scale.

[Les]

How many planes do you have in the air?

324 spawned at the start.

Each Squadron consisted of three Flights of three planes (=9 planes). There were six such Squadrons per group (=54 planes). And there were six such groups (=324 planes).

Only one group of 54 planes continued on into London, minus however many losses they had along the way.

There were three-hundred '30-inch 20 CWT QF Mk.1 Stand-Alone B' artillery lined up along their flight path to greet them.

Just so there's no confusion, this was not playable. I slowed the game down to it's slowest running speed, put the plane under AI control, and recorded using FRAPS at 16fps, then sped it up again in editing. I just wanted to see what it would look like on maximum settings and with a huge amount of objects on screen. I think I could cram more in and would like to set up a more realistic scenario, but it would take a lot of effort.

Nice video. I love the way the gear just collapsed in a seemingly realistic way, for what appears to be a realistic reason, without just suddenly breaking off. It gives a good impression of components being modelled to fail properly under stress.

Very well done video! You've shown off a lot of features of ClOD. Very decent editing of your video as well; in terms of movie-making, I'd not use the fancy scene transition effects, but that is only if you go on to make a full up Video/Movie, rather than a demo of ClOD.

If you do have an interest in making a "Movie", think about developing a story/screenplay. If you do that, I think you'll be on the right track for 'success' as a Cliffs of Dover film-maker! ...and I hope you will consider becoming one.

It is not too early in the ClOD era for those of us at the Flight Sim Movies website (http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/) to begin looking for a new crop of movie-makers and their Movies, using ClOD to enthrall the community with marvelous "Tales of the Battle of Britain" using ClOD. Remember, the golden rule is to create a "story" with a beginning, middle, and end...and get the viewer to emotionally connect with your main character(s).

Again, thanks for showing your vid in this thread!

Another fps test, with the zone usually used to do so... the center of London. The more risky maneuvers able to do, that is because fps were more stable :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQltjkRhWgU

Computer specs and detailed graphic settings are on the description of the video...

Only 1.00.13954 Official patch, NOSSAO and "Aero Off" used. Lowtex does not improve nothing and Nomipmap is horrible by a few fps more... at least, for me :)

High increase of fps, so now I will dedicate to fly :)

Thanks Luthier and 1C team for the patch and thanks to the community for the tweaks and mods! This great simulator is definitely not a game! :)

[Avionsdeguerre]

Here's a video of the single player London sightseeing mission. The settings are low except the a/c model. This is a huge improvement, because a few days ago I wouldn't have been able to get 5 fps in this scenario, and now I can fly around relatively smoothly, thanks to the nossao and the lotex mod.

I clipped the wing flying under that last bridge at the end and sheared off the wingtip. The plane flew on, but I could feel the effect of the missing wingtip. The video ends with a parachute ride...

Not really that impressive when you learn how they do it, it's called LOD - leave of Detail, and it relates to the distance between the camera and any item. if very close, then the building is a full mesh, a certain longer distance away, then the mesh might be 1/2 detailed, even further away - long distance, the building might be only a 2 dimensional picture "sprite" " billboard". Well that's the trick most 3D game builders have been using for many years, not sure about COD?

BTW, anyone see if the defiant fights back or is it a AI clay pigeon? would be nice to see a Condor flying too!

[Les]

I swear in some of that video I could see a vapour stream behind the aircraft like it was pulling cloud into its wake.........

There was definitely a stream at certain points, but I think it was from having complex engine management on and temporarily switching from AI control to very basic (up/down/left/right) keyboard (engine-killing) controls. Which is to say, it was probably just fuel vapour, or something else to do with me misusing the plane's engine.

[DoolittleRaider]

Someone on one of these forums, perhaps in this thread, a few days ago was adamantly expressing disappointment, whining about the clouds not being any good, unrealistic, etc.

I think from this video that they look absolutely marvelous! Exceptionally realistic!

I agree. But to be honest, as I stated in the description on Youtube, these are very selective shots and angles I've used. If I'd looked left or right in most places I would have seen clouds popping in and out of view or just plain bugging out, or the more typical cotton-ball type of formations. I'm not entirely certain, as I haven't tried, but I don't think it would actually be possible to make a mission where you'd only see the kinds of clouds I've shown in the video. I think it proves what could be possible though, once the bugs get worked out and further improvements are made to bring the new weather effects into a more finished state.

[Gomer Pyle]

Thanks for the tips, I have just started playing flight simulators, a lot to learn.
I had tried getting very close before, last time I got to close to a bomber, my engine fell out

The settings in the video are mostly set to low. It looks better at higher settings, but then there are pause here and there, and you're still going to see some of this. At this point, the buildings popping in and out of existence I'll take... a week ago I could not get more than 5 fps anywhere over London.

Personally, I wish they had worried a lot less about scenery on the ground, and focused on some other issues instead. For example, Rise of Flight has simpler, yet still perfectly nice looking scenery on the ground, and my PC can run that game at 5246x1050 on three screens on high settings TWICE as fast as it can run CloD at 1680x1050 on one screen at low settings. But I'm sticking it out, I now have it working well enough to play and have a little fun. It'll only get better.;)

[TUCKIE_JG52]

After managing to not damaging my own engines, I made into combat...

In this one I've ran out on ammo by my bad aiming and tried to make a Taran maneuver without success. It was recorded from a track, no stutterinbg or fps problems when flying from the cockpit, but watching the action with so close proximity while recording video reduces fps, so I've done it in slow motion and accelerated a bit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGocgWC2utc

Note that the big piece fallen from below the Ju is the lower gunner broken window, at the instant he was killed.



This other one was recorded in real time while fighting in a 45 planes merge over the channel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep6F5tqZKHU

Got no fps or suttering problems if I was not recording, except if there were too much effects when attacking Ju-88's. Zero kills at the end, it's a bit more difficult to shot down anybody, and there's also an important fact about the pilot: I simply need more combat training! :)

I have the same general performances that when I flew 1946 with a dual core. If I not record video I can fly pretty good. If I record, I can still fly and combat, but fps fall. So I'll look for hardware improvement, like I've did in every new interesting simulator on the market since a lot of years ago. :)

Make shure to set your fraps to more than one core and FPS to more than 30 also you can do it half size.

[Trumper]

Did i see that correct,is the aileron still in place from the shot-off wing?
Yes @37 seconds,-- after the Spitfire collides with it.The aileron is flying in formation with the plane it's not attached to.

[Flyby]

inertia?

[Trumper]

inertia?
Doubt it,there are too many variables between it and the main wing,weight,mass,centre of gravity,collision impact forces,collision impact direction of movement,etc.This follows perfectly in formation as if still joined.

It's a track, or it's recorded in real time while flying?

There's a difference between things that happen when flying vs watching the track.

In Il-2 it was worse. I had serious problems with tracks being corrupted, even offline.


As an example, I recorded this video from a track:

There were birds all around the bridge, that are not in the track as reviewed. Also vehicles behaved a little different.

Funny everyone is so enthralled with the London scenery.

I'd like to see a good fighters vs fighters air battle over London with variations in the number of planes, until the FPS starts to drag.

Hopefully, it will take a large number of fighters in combat to drag down the FPS.

With the new patch installed of course

Not to be a downer but imo
1. The city looks decidedly unimpresive, the textures look low res and ugly, not to mention its still creating fps problems.
2. In the distance there is no city just trees/grass, then suddenly buildings are magiced into existence, whats the point of being able to see that far if what you look at is not whats there? I would rather have limited distance/view because its less obnoxious.
3. London looks completely lifeless

I know its early days - hopefully these things are remidied, but atm I am very unimpressed by the city.

You forgot to mention which imaginary sim manages to do a large city better.

[nearmiss]

I recall buying an addon for the FSX that was great for night flying.

Cities were lighted and there were lights moving on the highways like you would see at night.

I liked the night flying, because it was closer to real. The navigation, the ATC, the charts, the whole instrument flight thing in all it's glory.

Too bad, I wanted to shoot at aircraft more than I wanted to follow strict instrument flights and make approaches/departures.

Also WOP has a large Berlin map which looks better and runs flawlessly, and its a console game (then again it is also really well threaded on the PC).

I don't think it runs in regular game mode. He probably slowed it down 8 or 16 times and recorded it. Played it back accelerated and recorded it again. Still very impressive and a sign of what we can do with future hardware.

[Les]

It runs well enough to make video's with while capturing with FRAPS, but you have to slow the in-game speed down as far as possible (then speed it up again later in editing), so it's not possible to actually 'play' it like that, not in the normal sense anyway.

Using a GTX580 @ standard clocks and an i7 920 @ 3.8GHz.

I've been finding it fascinating just seeing so many planes in the air. I've never seen anything like it. There's more stuff going on than you can look at, and more than you can see when they get spread out beyond your range of vision. They look like swarms of insects sometimes when they're massed in the distance. And when there are several hundred all randomly battling it out in one area it just a big furballing mess, with stuff literally raining down out of the sky. It's funny too though seeing multiple AI get fixated on chasing and shooting down one particular plane. You'd usually only see six or so of them doing it, but in this case there'll be something like fifty all trying to get in on it, a whole screen full of them massed together and hammering away one or two at a time at some hapless target. The fact that you can show so many planes in such detail certainly opens up a whole new range of options for the movie-makers out there. I imagine there are some of them cooking up stuff right now that will just blow us away.

In terms of the maximum amount of planes you can load into a mission, I still don't know what the limit is. I'll probably try to find out, but time is limited and dabbling with this video stuff means not actually flying and having fun with the other aspects of the game, so, I don't know.

I call it seriously "put lipstick on a pig"... Nice video, but not from the ingame real-time action, but from slow rendering engine, you have to spend hours to make it and apply few more filters and here we are - best sim ever! Worth of money - if you want to post some nice videos on youtube...

I clearly state it's not 'ingame real-time action', so you're just stating the obvious, although you make it look like you're exposing some kind of deception.

It's also recorded live with FRAPS, it's not a render out of the AVI exporter, which you seemed to be saying it was.

It did take a while to make, but most of the time on it by far was spent on dubbing in the audio.

And no, no filters were applied at all.

You're welcome to your opinion of what you think is best and worth money, and you're free to express that opinion here. But please try not to talk sh** in order to try and justify those opinions, thanks.

[Les]

What is the goal of posting videos which are not capture while real-time action? This is sim right? Not 3D engine to create 3D situation for Discovery Channel? OR is it? I saw in last three weeks so many videos capture in same way like you... And what? Did it make this game more playable and fun? NO!

People are interested in the sim for different reasons. There are many ways people can have fun with it. Mission-building, movie-making, skinning etc.

My main goal in making the thousand plane mission and making a video of it was to see if I could. I find the technology interesting. I put the video up on Youtube just in case others who have a similar interest might like to watch it. It also gives an insight into what the future might hold once computer hardware can handle what the sim is capable of.

I understand what you're saying about the playable frame-rates, but you've got to understand that's not the only thing that matters for some people. As long as no-one is putting up video's misleading people it shouldn't be a problem, just live and let live, each enjoying the sim in their own ways.

Sorry if you have a problem with it, but that's your business, not mine, and I don't really want to know about it. All the best.

1+

As long as posters are telling the truth about how the video is created I care less.

I would prefer to see videos of real-time action, knowing what is ACTUALLY possible with a specific systems spec. I don't give a flip for tomorrow. I care for when I fire up the BOB COD... knowing what is possible, and if that performance is acceptable to me.

Sorry, but movie making with all the editor software tools definitely creates a surreal world for viewers.

Man! Thank you for the videos. Very Nice indeed. Yeah, you suck at gunnery alright. It might take you two whole missions to make ACE!!! ;) I enjoyed these a lot.

Thx Flyby, my single biggest challenge is setting the axis curves on the Hotas, they are to sensitive/linear at the center. Can increase the deadzone but when the axis actuates its to violent making placing the crosshair were you want it nigh impossible.

Using u2nxt cougar but this is the only sim I can't seem to input axis curves effectively.
Can it be done via config file maybe?

[Heliocon]

I don't think it runs in regular game mode. He probably slowed it down 8 or 16 times and recorded it. Played it back accelerated and recorded it again. Still very impressive and a sign of what we can do with future hardware.

Nothing to do with hardware - its to do with programming.

[Mysticpuma]

Okay, if you chaps don't mind sitting through another 2-minutes of footage, this is the video I should have posted of the P-51 battle. I have no idea why I uploaded the wrong file....just a Senior moment I guess?

Anyway, the correct file can be seen here, this is what I have done with it;

"I've created this short video to show-off the Wing of Prey Software engine.

After editing the footage, the first think I did was change the Colour-Balance to add a more Blue tint to the film at altitude, taking away the 'too-Green' that is present in the normal Software. At lower altitude I have just slightly de-saturated the footage to 'calm' the Green down a little. I have added Slow-Motion effects (at the start when Flak goes off), also lens-flare onto the metal aircraft surface, crash-zoom effect, throwing the camera out-of focus, blast-effect as the FW-190 crashes into the trees and finally fade to old-film and Black and White.

This was meant to have been the original post, cheers, MP"

The new video can be seen here:

Just before patching:

Workload is constant in Bf-110 cockpit, even when extending to dive again into the Wellingtons, temperatures and parameters are cheched... 2 engines, double workload :)





And just after 1.00.14072 patching, with the usual test around here, flying in London with the Tiger Moth:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM2y6Hu3q4k
I've raised graphic settings, now buildings are unlimited, trees set to medium, and grass activated.
Less fps, but much more stable and perfectly flyable, 5 fps better when I'm not recording, of course :)
It is spectacular the realistic effecto of the shadow of the plane at the end of the video, when flying over Buckingham palace! :)

I hope to give CoD a try with my Cougar one day, but I don't have the sim yet. Too bad Frugal's World is no longer available. All things Cougar there. Maybe someone knows another Cougar site?

Meanwhile, more videos, please. If you find a solution, let us know.

Opitz, are you a WoP fan? That would explain a lot.

[David Hayward]

No I am not. I am just not a fan of old IL2 engine, which was sold to this blind community once again...

You really think this game is IL2? Really? It seems pretty obvious from watching video that it's nothing of the sort.

In any case, you don't like CoD. You don't like IL2. You don't like WoP. Which WW2 flight sim would you recommend that I buy?

[Sven]

No I am not. I am just not a fan of old IL2 engine, which was sold to this blind community once again...

How many copies did the other 'CoD' sold again since MW1? We must be geniuses in comparison with them, anyway getting closer to the real thing goes in small steps, IL2 had become a solid sim and pretty realistic IMO but lacks the things Cliffs of Dover brought along, like complexer damage modelling ( that does not have to mean more historical though ) click-able cockpits, 6DOF, and advanced ground war. Either way it's definitely not the same engine otherwise we wouldn't have all these trouble we have now would we;)

Too many people complaining about accuracy of gunners is probably the cause?? try a harder setting?

Thanks, totally agree about that, the plane was placed in FMB as "inactive" and "parked", but has it's own flight plan. If the test is repeated when the plane is moving, it is directly affected by such a crash...

Notes:
The graphics were much smoother in-game.
The engine is somewhat badly recorded in the track, it ran much better during the actual flight.
On start-up there were nice flames from the exhaust stack, but they weren't recorded.

Do crank it up to 1080p full-screen if you can, it is much better like that, if a bit jaggy.

Comments very welcome!

[the Dutchman]

Great vid,thanks!

[Les]

Oh, and wauw, more than a thousand views in three days, seems there is an interest in CoD!

It's a good video, mainly because of your commentary I think, makes things more interesting when you know what the pilot's actually doing, or trying to do. There also aren't a lot of video's around that show basic, 'this is what it's like to just fire up the game and play it', action, so you've supplied something there that people have been wanting to see. And you've done it with good humour and aren't just using the video as an excuse to show off your leet combat skillzz. So, yeah, good stuff.

About the differences between the Youtube version and the one you recorded...I've seen the engine-revving bug on my own tracks, so it's not just you. I've also seen variations in what the game shows when replaying .trk files too. Seeing too that your system specs are similar to mine, I expect that you were getting 50-60 fps a lot of the time when playing that mission. When the frame-rates are in that range, everything jumps into a more realistic looking realm, but in converting the video down to 25 or 30fps for Youtube, that effect gets lost. As far as I know there's no video-sharing site that plays video's at 50-60fps as the data rate is considered too high, so we're generally stuck with watching those quality video's on our own or sharing them as large video files through file-sharing sites. I say all this because I suspect that effect is what you're referring to when you say the video looks so much smoother on your original recording of it, just in case you or others didn't know.

[ATAG_Doc]

I agree Les. Very helpful to understand what they are doing. This is my most frequented thread looking for new videos. I am impressed at some peoples talents. Very impressive.

By the way does anyone know if there will there be a repository for CoD tracks??

Have you considered putting the video up at the Vimeo HD site? Related links here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vimeo

http://vimeo.com/channels/all

http://vimeo.com/search/channels/search:flight%20sim/8709f766/sort:alphabetical

[Les]

Have you considered putting the video up at the Vimeo HD site?...

I was under the impression there isn't much if any difference in image quality between Vimeo and Youtube. There used to be, before Youtube went HD, but I dont think there is now. Vimeo also have a weekly limit, for non-paying members, of only one HD video upload per week (any others are only put up in SD), and an upload limit of 500MB per week. They also don't allow, according to their upload rules, 'gaming' video's. I'm not sure how thoroughly they enforce that rule, but in the past, when they first introduced it, they did pull a lot of video's down and make it known they weren't welcome. I could be wrong, but I just don't think it's really a viable or better alternative than Youtube unfortunately.

[DoolittleRaider]

Vimeo definitely allows "machinima" movies....that is, movies made using game images/captures/video, etc....the difference is that Machinima means movies with a Story or some sort, and dialogue, subtitles, voiceover narration, etc. "Gaming" videos are simply capturing gaming 'play' as the Game is played.

So, a video with just raw capture of a cockpit view in a Bf109 flying around (think First Person Shooter in a cockpit) would not be allowed.
However, a movie which tells the story of an historical battle or of an indivual fighter pilot's career or dogfights, etc, would be allowed. The latter would require some evidence of a screeenplay, editing, cinematography, post-processing perhaps with special FX, a sound track with perhaps original music, etc etc, etc.

Doesn't youtube still limit duration of video....to 10 or 15 minutes? Vimeo, I think, and also Blip-TV definitely will host movies of an hour and more. For example, this hour-long IL-2 movie at Blip-TV http://blip.tv/file/1217217

[Les]

Yeah, I think Youtube is fifteen minutes now, whereas Vimeo is whatever you can fit into 500MB if you're a non-paying member. I'm still not sure how strict they are with their definition of 'Machinima', but as you say, as long as you're adding something to the video and it's not just straight game-play you'd probably be alright, if they even noticed your video at all. Thanks for the Blip-TV suggestion, might look into that.

[louisv]

It loads on my PC but not on my Ipad (keeps loading forever). Ipad is great to show stuff around...:)

BTW you seem to jockey the propeller to vary RPM, although I'm not sure here...only from vid, but this is also for all of those who have problems with CEM, and there are a few here...Like the guy who thinks that the spit RPM is stuck at 2400 because of a bug :-)

In CEM, with a constant speed propeller, once the RPM is adjusted (~2300-2400 RPM IIRC, I don't have the game yet, being North-American...) you jockey the throttle to vary speed even though the RPM won't change, the power to the propeller changes, but then you said the video affected the RPM so I'm not sure if you are guilty;)...But anyway its a common mistake...Study is needed to operate in CEM, it is not at all obvious.

Louis

PS: Try the 300S in FSX if you have it...Its damn obvious on that plane. Or even better the A2A Spit where you will learn the subtleties of CEM. I HIGHLY recommend A2A's Propeller video to get a handle on CEM.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psYL7thQj6M

[Les]

...but then you said the video affected the RPM...

Not to dismiss the other good points you make, but there is in fact a bug in the .trk recordings at the moment, making it look like the engine was being repeatedly over and under-revved, regardless of what was actually being done by the pilot at the time of recording.

[Hellbender]

Here some airfield strafing action at a Spitfire at the english coast. Note that there are some stuters in the videos caused by the beta patch. The pilot, Jediteo, is KIA since then ;).

Anyone got new footage? Im dying for some good dogfight gameplay or just a decent sized smooth engagement of post patch vids. It seems like suddenly the tap is dry here.

No real action in this one, was just playing around after the recent beta patch and thought some people might like to see some more slower paced unedited footage too.

Here's another one. Again, no combat action.

Would be good to see the ghost trees made solid, but I'm still quite capable of crashing anyway, so it doesn't really bother me. I'm hoping they can add more aircraft sounds in though, along with some ambient ground sounds.
