Short and badly edited video, just to show how great the sim runs now here, with 8GB DDR3 RAM! All graphics options maxed!!!

I'm really happy now!

Were is the fool that told me that only one 580 with more than 3GB VARM will run this thing with maximum settings and with great FPS? :)

Excellent work! Great job!!

One thing about... someone knows how to put a fire out in a Hurricane.

Not exactly the best way, but a way.

Good video, fun to watch.

What editing software would work directly with the fraps captures? I'd rather skip this conversion process if I could. I'm using iMovie because I had it, not because I chose it over anything else.

Also, doesn't have to be Mac. I could always just do the editing on my gaming rig I suppose. Would probably be faster too since that's a beefy desktop and my Mac is a MacBook Pro.

Virtual Dub can be used to do basic editing, but that's not really what it was designed for and it could just end up being more a source of frustration than anything. It's free and is worth checking out, and perhaps using as a video conversion or post processing tool. But if you want to do more than just join one clip straight onto another, you'd probably be better off forking out for one of the Sony Vegas products.

Here's a product comparison page - http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiope/compare

I don't have any of them, but from a quick look, you'd want either Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11, or Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 Production Suite. That's using the logic that if you found out Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 11 was lacking and wanted something better (which would then require doing further research and making comparisons between Vegas and other brands' products), it'd be an easier write-off than getting Vegas Pro 10 and finding you never really use it's more expensive (but not necessarily relevant or useful) features. So, going by that comparison chart, the only difference between Platinum 11 and Platinum 11 Production Suite, is the Platinum 11 Production Suite has a tutorial DVD, a few more effects and soundtracks, and more elaborate sound-editing features, whatever that's worth. Doesn't look like much of price difference in any case.

Not making any recommendations, just putting some info into the mix for you. Except to say, whatever you get, download it and try it before you buy it so you can make sure it does what you want it to do. Pretty sure they all have at least one-off trial periods. You could even trial the more expensive software just to see if it really is worth it for you.

Very nice, what's the specs of the PC if you don't mind?

[LoBiSoMeM]

Very nice, what's the specs of the PC if you don't mind?

- Phenom x4 965 (3.4Ghz);
- Cheap ASUS AM3 Mobo;
- 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM;
- NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti 1GB;
- 7200RPM SATA HD (300GB);
- Windows 7 Ultimate.

Highest settings almost everything, just Building Details in "Very Low" in normal gameplay. Even SSAO on. Stutters only over London, rooftop flying chasing a FW200... :cool:

I tried disable/enable virtual memory. Here I have no gains at all with that in CloD, but I decided to leave it off because of a lot of Alt+Tab and the fact that without VM Freetrack isn't "lock" anymore. Really strange thing...

A 6 minute 7PM flight over the London Suburbs 720 or 1080p. Getting more impressed every day with this sim

Filmed only half-size through fraps and rendered on Vegas Pro 9.
watch 1080p to give it justice/ for better results

I love the late evening or early morning flights. On the weekend I set my mission times to whatever time it is at my local and fly. Saturday mornings are often filled with coffee and morning missions. And we can press P and step away for a break. I love it.

Good to see your enjoying the sim with your new GPU and Ram.

There's going to be German Trains in the next patch.

[JokkerFX]

Thanks a lot everybody.

This simfilm project was not easy. I mean mainly this short film ”world of sound”, when the video editing is used in more than one audio track (this video, I used five different audio tracks). The hardest part was these synchronization, because the various sound effects are significant qualitative differences and what the more a other audio tracks, so the harder it is make to good-sounding package.

Now is Vimeo Plus, so i get to the best possible HD features. I also did a few corrections to the original video, because I was not very happy my first BoB - The Kanalkampf version upload (headaches).

Anyway here is new version (first crap version will be removed).

JokerFX, do you know how I can get this video onto my IPad. I would like to share this great demonstration with friends. I only have WIFI and the locations were Id like to show don't have WIFI so I can't stream from Vimeo. In any case would I need Flash, since IPad's don't play Flash video? Thanks-- really great video.

[gflinch]

ktodack: This is kind of simple if you have the right tools. This is the type of tool to use: http://applian.com/download-videos/ Basically you need to find a vimeo streaming capture program. Then convert it to a format the iPad will play like mp4 video.

If you need further help, PM me. I don't want to hijack this thread.

You are on your way, Mate! The key to a great Flight Sim movie, of which there are relatively few, is that you must tell a Story. Bang-Bang Shoot'em-Up dogfighting gets BO-ring, quickly. You have a good start with this short video clip, although admittedly very basic. A "movie" must have a 'beginning' (you have the start of one here), a middle (crisis or conflict), and an 'Ending'...[the 'hero(es) win or lose or whatever you decide and show to the viewers...]

Yeah, the idea I had that kicked me off on this whole hobby of simfilming was mostly just trailer stuff, so I put it together like that. I'm planning my next one to have more of a narrative.

I was using FRAPS recording to get the footage from CoD, then Xvid4PSP to convert the fraps footage into MP4, then importing to iMovie with no conversion, then I used iMovie for editing (and Garageband for the audio tweaking) plus iMovie's 'share to youtube' function to render/convert.

I'm hoping to improve the rendering next try.

hey les!with which program did you overlap the both videos to one?i searched for that function in windows movie maker but without success.btw,..great idea!

I used Adobe Premiere Pro, but any video-editing software that allows you to layer at least two video clips on top of each other and change their size and position can be used. As far as I know, Windows Movie Maker only allows one layer (or line or sequence) of video and uses a few automated effects (dissolves etc.) to do some things that would otherwise require using two layers of video. Unfortunately I don't know of any free programs that enable layering of video clips, and I'm not sure what the capabilities of the more affordable video-editing programs (or their demo versions) are, so I can't recommend a program for you to experiment with, sorry.

Download and install this x264 codec - http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

Run 'Configure x264vfw' from the start menu or wherever you installed it, to open up the codec's configuration window . From the 'Rate control' drop down menu select 'Single pass-lossless'. In the 'Output' section; select 'File' from the 'Output mode:' drop-down menu, and 'x264' from the 'VFW FourCC:' drop-down menu. Click 'Okay' to exit.

Run Xvid4PSP. Select MP4 from the 'Format' drop-down list. Press the round button next to 'Video encoding' drop-down list. Go to the top right corner of the 'Video encoding settings' window that opens and select 'x264'. Go to the bottom left corner and tick 'Lossless'. Click 'Okay'. Open up the video you want to convert and encode it. On the test I did, this compressed a 917 MB FRAPS AVI down to a 41(!) MB MP4 video file with negligible degradation of the image.

See if iMovie will accept the video clip. If it does, follow the settings described below to export the video -

iMovie 08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z00omKtMiVA&feature=relmfu

iMovie 09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFVp2-C-xSY&feature=related

If you get that far, upload the video to Youtube and see if it looks alright.

That's what I'd try, if I had no way of editing the FRAPS AVI files as is.

Made another '3D' video while waiting to see what the next patch brings.

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

I think the 3D effect works best with longer shots and slower action, when you have time to focus on different parts of the image and notice the spatial relationships between objects.

Hi wolverine, I have to say the intro sequence before the planes was very accomplished and I really enjoyed the fact you used static shots and the ambient audio effects were perfectly suited.

The aircraft scenes would be, IMHO, lacking in the same quality, but as you mention this is your first film, they are pretty impressive first-steps!

Looking forward to future developments, cheers, MP

The Avsims.com site is up in all it's new glory.

Video presentation and support is planned to be an important part of the site.

Some interesting things are at work.

Play the award winning video from BarFly and carefully watch.

Be sure to move your cursor completely off the screen when the video starts.

[bw_wolverine]

Looks like I don't have to worry about iMovie editing any more :P

My wife picked up CS5.5 Master Collection with two licenses (she said she got the master collection instead of just the photo shop stuff so that I'd get the video editing stuff since I've been interested in it).

So Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects here I come! :D

PS: My wife is amazing.

[Les]

...Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects here I come!..

Wow, congratulations. You'll have a lot more options now. Those programs will allow you to exercise an insane degree of creative control over your video's.

At the same time, be prepared for lots of reading of the manual and watching tutorial video's, and much swearing at the frustrating aspects of the software, which all brands of software of that level of complexity have...

blah blah blah...

Have fun with it.

blah blah blah etc. etc...

[wannabetheace]

Thanks a lot everybody.

This simfilm project was not easy. I mean mainly this short film ”world of sound”, when the video editing is used in more than one audio track (this video, I used five different audio tracks). The hardest part was these synchronization, because the various sound effects are significant qualitative differences and what the more a other audio tracks, so the harder it is make to good-sounding package.

Now is Vimeo Plus, so i get to the best possible HD features. I also did a few corrections to the original video, because I was not very happy my first BoB - The Kanalkampf version upload (headaches).

Anyway here is new version (first crap version will be removed).

Good performance... some shutters in some moments but aceptable for me.:grin:

Can you tell what is your "modest" rig?

[nearmiss]

A lot of work has been going on at the avsims site for video and media presentation. Would appreciate comments or feedback on the HD presentations. There are only 3 videos up from Barfly. The Battle of Britain 2.0 is IL2 1946 with mods. The other two are Cliffs of Dover.

The video renders well on my computer, but it is a pretty good system. We are interested to know how other systems handle the larger screen resolution and still maintain a high quality presentation.

Slide your cursor off the screen when player starts for titles to go away. The full screen that fills your computer screen is next, but we haven't had as much luck so far with quality of presentation.

http://avsims.com (http://avsims.com/) and click on view videos you don't have to register to view videos

The high quality presentations are from Vimeo HD. Vimeo provides the ability through programming to eliminate ads when you develop your player with that in mind.

Anyone wanting to fly outside the English Channel still has some very excellent options with the modified IL2 Sturmovik

Please comment on the site

my second attempt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Og81hlEUBw

Just caught up with this video. Wasn't really interested in watching a sightseeing video, but thought I'd give it a look. Then the AC/DC song started playing and I thought, oh okay, I'll watch this even if just to listen to that. Then you synched up the song to the first explosion and I almost laughed out loud. Cool, this could be fun. So I sat back and watched one of the best-made stunt-flying/showing-off video's I've seen.

Was impressed by the flying skills, the choice of locations, and the fact that you didn't show at least one crash when the lyrics, "...watch me explode..." were playing. So, yeah, good job. Very competently shot and edited I thought. Nothing too fancy, but it didn't have to be.

I did think maybe some of the stunts/set-ups were a bit too similar, to the point of becoming repetitive, and I personally would rather not see the same action repeated when cutting between camera views, but in the context of the overall video I wouldn't call those choices mistakes.

Wouldn't mind seeing that kind of clean and straightforward, almost analytical and documentary-like filming & editing approach applied to other aspects of the game too. If the subject-matter is interesting enough in it's own right, it should be watchable even without using a lot of the 'cinematic' embellishments that too easily come across as clichéd and distracting anyway.

:grin:

Edit - Well there you go, you posted the 'War' video while I was writing about the other one. Good job again. It's hard to cover 'action' well, and to be honest, I wasn't as impressed with how you handled that as I was with the stunt-flying video. But you know, I think it's testament to your video-making skills that I was less concerned about the technical aspects of the video, than I was with its 'theme' or overall 'statement'. The action was conveyed well enough that I could just take it for granted and look for the video's 'message' or 'point'. And in that regard, I think the song you used and the images weren't really complimenting each other properly. I kept waiting for the Bf-109 we were following to get destroyed, to show in action what it was Edwin Starr was singing about, that war is good for nothing, no-one wins, everyone loses. But the Bf-109 just kept 'winning'.

Not that I think it really matters, but basically, my point/opinion is this. When you reach a certain level of technical video-making competence, a level that I think you're at or very near, you can do more than just showing stuff happening, you can use those skills to tell stories, or convey ideas and concepts to your audience. You can 'say' things through your video's, or just give them extra emotional depth, evoking anger, or laughter, or sadness etc., so that people can experience them in more than a one-dimensional, superficial, way. Not saying you have to, or that you should, and as I said in my original post, those same skills can be used to just show off different aspects of the game for those who are interested in that. And as far as it goes, there's nothing wrong with just making video's because you enjoy doing it, which is largely what I myself have done with Cliffs Of Dover. Just pointing out some other options, in case you weren't aware of them. Don't take it personally btw, what I'm saying applies to anyone with the ability to string a coherent sequence of images together, and it's said because I want to see more good Cliffs Of Dover video's (dammit lol :))

hey les!all i can say is waoh!thx for the positive feedback and moreover really constructive criticism.i hear what you say, and you are 100% right.

the only point i disagree with, is that i for myself dont or at least didnt consider myself competent enough to tell true stories with my "productions",
because of the simple fact that it didnt came to my mind.
all i focused on, was to record my missions in a way, that the viewer is able to comprehend the single incidents in the storyline.(i hope this sentence makes sense,as im not a native speaker)

where i totally agree is the too much pronounced repetition of camera angles and similar scenes.i unfortunately became only aware of that, after i finished the video and was too lazy to rework it because i was happy with the overall result and considered it as a success of what i was trying to achieve with my second attempt.
the same goes for my third one.i was happy enough with the outcome of it.
i consider myself as a total noob when its about making vids, especially when i look at other vids posted here.i use windows movie maker, and im not very creative either.
but you gave me a hint with your post.....trying to tell stories, awake emotions.that will be the aim of my next project.
but i think this will take longer than the usual three hours of work, from flying the mission to the end result.
thx again for your comment les!!!

Edit: i actually died in my third mission/vid in an entertaining way.i crashed while i was trying to shoot the british tanks...i hit the ground with my left wing and lost more than the half,while i was pulling the stick to climb again.so i elevated a bit until i finally smashed the ground again.but i survived the crash and the bf came to a standstill near the enemy.i opened the canopy and looked in the back where i suddenly faced tracers.the first injured me, and the second one was a headshot.
i really wanted to implement that, but what you see in the vid is only the half of the mission.actually there comes a second raid of 110s to bomb the tanks again, and i do some more ground attacks until i crash.the problem was that it was late and i got really tired.furthermore my girlfriend wanted me to come to bed.

[ATAG_Doc]

Thanks for the flying demo vid that was outstanding and very entertaining. Enjoyed it.

[David198502]

ok reworked my last vid.its not getting better than this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DxovzQAk7Q

[Les]

...all i focused on, was to record my missions in a way, that the viewer is able to comprehend the single incidents in the storyline...

That sums up what I was trying to say about your clear approach to showing the action, you make it easy for the viewer to understand what's happening.

...trying to tell stories, awake emotions.that will be the aim of my next project.
but i think this will take longer than the usual three hours of work, from flying the mission to the end result...

Yes, that is the challenge, it takes longer and requires more thought.

There are two basic approaches you can take.

1. You can fly and record missions, watch the recordings, find a 'story' within them, then edit and reinterpret the footage in such a way that the viewer can see that 'story'. This is pretty much what you've done so far.

2. Or you can decide what it is you want to show, the story you want to tell, or the effect you want the images and sounds to have on the viewer, then make or find missions that you can record and edit to achieve that pre-determined end.

The first approach or method is more limited in the potential 'stories' it can reveal to you, but the second method is more dependent upon your ability to come up with a story idea in the first place and then make the game do what you want it to do in order to tell that story. Neither approach is easy.

It's also possible to combine both methods.

What this means is that you can start with method #1 to find and record the basic story (documentary-style), then use method #2 to go back and record new shots or scenes that you can add in to expand on the story or just make it clearer (narrative movie-style).

Or you can start with method #2 (narrative movie-style), where you already know what your story is or what effect you want to have on the viewer. But you can use method #1 (documentary style) to determine exactly how the details of the story play out. For example, you may know that a certain character or plane gets destroyed/killed at some point. Instead of trying to set that up to happen in a particular way, you can just let the game decide (by creating a mission where the plane will surely be destroyed), record the result, then add those self-contained details into your story.

I hope that all makes sense.

And having said all that, I think it's important to say again too, to anyone who may be reading this, that you don't have to do any of the things I've just described. Everybody is free to make whatever kind of Cliffs Of Dover video they want, however they want. I'm just talking about making the particular kinds of video that I personally find more interesting. Which is to say, ones that display a certain level of technical expertise, and which then apply that technical skill to the telling of a story or the expression of an idea. That still includes instructional, or multi-player, or tech demo video's, which have as their aim the sharing of certain kinds of information.

[David198502]

yes les that makes perfect sense.
and i think everybody knows that you are suggesting solutions and not demanding anything with your comments.
btw, i think for my next "project" i will go the second "path" you described.i already have some scenes in my mind, and i also did some tests how some of them would look like.but i will definitely wait until the patch is here.

[Les]

ok reworked my last vid.its not getting better than this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DxovzQAk7Q

I found that to be a better fit to the music for sure. And again, the crash at the end was clearly conveyed.

As you point out, there comes a time with every video where you just have to say enough is enough and move on. It's like what some famous film-maker (I can't remember which one) once said, "Films are never finished, they're just abandoned." There's always more you could do, things you could fix or re-shoot, but once the obvious stuff is corrected, there's no point dwelling obsessively on the old while you could be working on the new, especially when you're still experimenting and learning.

Looking forward to your next video's, but don't worry if you can't think of any idea's or stories to tell, or if you find you can't make the technology work for you to tell those stories. The video's you're making are already good enough to be worth watching. So there's no pressure or expectations being placed on you to do better. It's all just entertainment anyway. No matter how good it is, it doesn't really matter, and can never be more important than spending time with your loved ones or doing those other things that makes ones life worthwhile, as I'm sure you know.

[kestrel79]

Time, Lobi,

Those last 2 videos were amazing. Colors look great, the sounds are awesome as well!

I have to agree the 109 sounds much better than the Merlin, my guess is the 109 engine is "further along" than the Merlin. I'm sure this new sound guy is slowly reworking everything and he started with the 109 so it's the most done? The sounds from a distance are amazing.

Okay Lobi I must know your PC specs as well as your in game video settings. Everything looks so sharp and smooth!

Keep up the good work guys. It's videos like these that will get more people to buy this game or reinstall it.

[skouras]

thanks for the video
one question though
how did you get that static camera on the runway
is there any key command

[David198502]

you can place static cameras whereever you want in the fmb.you can add the height of them as well

[Blackdog_kt]

You can place static cameras from the mission builder, then you can cycle them with ctrl+F2 (same key used for enemy aircraft) or from the drop down menu (enable mouse cursor with F10, right click and select from the menu).


As for the previous comments, i agree with the "being in a movie" feeling. Yesterday i fired up the stock bomber intercept mission from the QMB and was shooting up some Blenheims in a 109E4 to test the new cannon shells, i got greedy and their gunners got some good shots at me. Wounded and with both radiators busted i made an emergency dive out of the fight and landed at the nearest friendly airfield with 3 kills confirmed.

I taxied away from the runway, switched off my engine, opened the canopy and then i suddenly heard "vvvvvvvrrrRRRRRRRROOOOOOOooommmmmmm" as the wingman is banking overhead :grin:

More than anything else, it's the sound of aircraft from afar and when they fly over you when you are on the ground that has impressed me the most in terms of the new sounds.

thank you

[Richie]

Everything is on marked "On" or on high. Texture Quality is on "Original", only the Epilepsy Filter and the Anti-Aliasing are off. This map has a good deal to do with the performance too. It seems to do very well. I get around 50 fps until I get very low then it goes down to 30 but not too many stutters at all on the new Steppe map for me. That's why I think the dogfight servers should try this map. It's not tiny like the others are but it's not too big either. It has a big lake with an island and a long river flowing out of the lake.

hey pupo.mh difficult question, as im now fiddling with my settings again since the beta patch.
before the patch, i played with the lowest resolution, no aa,no ssao,vsyinc on,
buildings detail on med,buildings amount on high,textures on med,landshading on low,no shadows,everything else on max....with these indeed low settings, i had steady 40-60fps no matter where, but most of the time 60.only over london at rooftop height i had 40 fps.no stutters at all

no after the patch, with the same settings, the fps stayed pretty much the same, but i decided to experiment with them again.i found that with textures to high and landshading on high, i still got 40fps average,and over london with 12 enemy spits at 100meters steady 30fps...so i decided to enable shadows again.this is indeed a performance hit,but i have less stutters with it enabled since the patch.before the patch,i had massive stutters, and trackir was pretty shaky with shadows.no i have pretty steady 30-40fps over the channel and over land 30 average.oh i forgot to mention, that i now set landdetail to low...since the patch and the added haze, the difference is not that apparent anymore.
ah btw, i play with full screen

oh about the stutters....only minor stutters at the beginning of a mission.i hate them so i prefer to lower my settings and have smooth gameplay instead of eyecandy and a slideshow.

buildings detail on med,buildings amount on high,textures on med,landshading on low,no shadows,everything else on max....with these indeed low settings, i had steady 40-60fps no matter where, but most of the time 60.only over london at rooftop height i had 40 fps.no stutters at all

no after the patch, with the same settings, the fps stayed pretty much the same, but i decided to experiment with them again.i found that with textures to high and landshading on high, i still got 40fps average,and over london with 12 enemy spits at 100meters steady 30fps...so i decided to enable shadows again.this is indeed a performance hit,but i have less stutters with it enabled since the patch.before the patch,i had massive stutters, and trackir was pretty shaky with shadows.no i have pretty steady 30-40fps over the channel and over land 30 average.oh i forgot to mention, that i now set landdetail to low...since the patch and the added haze, the difference is not that apparent anymore.
ah btw, i play with full screen

oh about the stutters....only minor stutters at the beginning of a mission.i hate them so i prefer to lower my settings and have smooth gameplay instead of eyecandy and a slideshow.

I appretiate your response.

To be fair, i am playing with far better settings than you and my gmae looks much worse. FPS wise it works ok, even with everithing on max i get 25+ FPS, but my problem is stutters.

i will try your settings and see if i get no stutters. Thank you.

EDIT:
Arghhhh . I DONT GET IT. i put your settigns and my fps actually drops to 5...

[David198502]

hey pupo!what you see in the vid,are not my settings when i play the game.i just set everything on max after i recorded the mission, to convert the track into an avi file and have all eyecandy.

i dont know whats the best setting for your rig....i found that many people reported big improvements due certain settings, which had no effect at all for me, or even made it worse.

with what resolution do you play??

2560 x1024.

its so frustrating testing COD video settings, speacilly since you want to start middair and due to stutter engine gets killed without yo ueven beeing able to do something.

ill give up again an wait for another patch, tough this beta was already a huge improvment.

[David198502]

well you play with a way higher res than me.
i know most people hate to lower the res, but for me i gained 15fps average through it. although it looks pretty blurry, i dont really mind.what i want, is to maintain a overall convincing look of the game.thats why i would never consider to turn trees for example off.
the only real problem are the shadows for me.the game just looks soooo more liflike with them enabled.but those damn shadows really hit my fps.

same. no shadows, the game looses its 3d look. even the pits look like 1946.

May I suggest turning Land Shading down from High to Medium. You won't notice the difference in quality but gain perhaps 5 frames.

Land Detail will affect how far the game will "paint" terrain. If set to Low distance terrain will be flat and smeared out.

I'm playing at 2560x1440 and I can confirm that the res is taking a big bite out of my frames. If I lower to 1920x1080 I get like 10-15 more frames but like David says, the game gets all blury.
Hopefully the official patch will give us back the 10% the beta took plus perhaps give us a couple of more on top of that. That would make my game run at +35 avg. If that happens I'll be flying more than hanging here. :-D

Maybe I'll give that shading a try. I sure don't need it until I'm down in the weeds as they say but if you don't notice it and it helps why not 8)

The colours here are the normal agme colours. It just looks a little different than the game often does because of the time of day, with the sun low in the sky. Most of the game's stock missions seem to take place in the middle of the day.

Before the beta patch even in this time of day we have big difference. Now the terrain colours are MUCH better.

Hey guys,
I was playing on ATAG and recording dogfights for a friend for isntructional purposes when this dogfight occured. Due to some nice lag, which can be seen on the video, I ended up in front of my target isnted of behind, however is clearly shows waht happens when a ME 109 tries to turn like a SPitfire :evil: .

I would be glad if these mini lags in multiplayer would be fixed. They can be fatal as seen in this video.

[Les]

Some really good what-you-see-is-what-you-get type video's turning up here lately.

Might get back into it myself if the haze gets adjusted/fixed in the next patch. Also waiting to see the new pilot/human animations that Luthier said someone was working on, as I intend to try incorporating some variations of those into some story-type video's. Don't want to commit myself to making a more complicated project while those basic game elements are still subject to change.

I do some overclocking in my MSI GTX 560 Ti and i'm really happy with the results:

With GPU and memory overclock, now i have much less FPS drops when some smoke and effects are rendered and the texture streaming is much more fluid. People with this VGA brand maybe can do the same - in CloD the gains are very noticeable!

Simply turn down some of the graphic settings to lower.. and you will be fine. But im guessing you are insisting in keeping the settings on high.

Were is the fool that told me that only one 580 with more than 3GB VARM will run this thing with maximum settings and with great FPS? :)

If you had 4 GB ram, or 6 GB ram wouldnt do any difference. As long as you have free / available ram when you run the game.
But yes 3d cards in SLI, a fast CPU and fast RAM helps ofcourse.
So many people today thinks the more RAM the better.

Timej31, sweet vid, but isn't it kind of strange that every single light in every single room in London is on? What was 1c thinking on this one?

something like: Lets make a slider to select how may % of the lights will be on, so you can have every light lit or just 50% etc etc.

[major_setback]

It's a nice effect, and good to have, even it is applied too generally However, no lights would have been showing during wartime at all. Everyone had blackout curtains. They weren't just turned off for the air-raids.

http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/war/blackout.htm

"When did The Blackout begin?

Britain was blacked out on 1st September 1939, two days before the outbreak of war.

What was The Blackout?

During the war, everyone had to cover their windows and doors at night (before sunset) with heavy blackout curtains, cardboard or paint.

Why did people have to cover their windows and doors?

They needed to prevent any glimmer of light from escaping and aiding enemy aircraft during the bombing raids.

What about other sources of light during the blackout. Were they covered too?

Street lights were switched off or dimmed and shielded to deflect the light downward. Traffic lights and vehicle headlights were fitted with slotted covers to deflect the beam down to the floor.
See picture

Back to the topWhat effect did the Blackout have on people's lives ?

Thousands of people died in road accidents. The number of road accidents increased because of the lack of street lighting and the dimmed traffic lights. To help prevent accidents white stripes were painted on the roads and on lamp-posts. People were encouraged to walk facing the traffic and men were advised to leave their shirt-tails hanging out so that they could be seen by cars with dimmed headlights.

Other people were injured during the Blackout because they could not see in the darkness. Many people were injured tripping up, falling down steps, or bumping into things."

Love the bomber's gun servers in the glass nose with their infantry helmets. A blast! Very realistic. BTW, wasn´t that 'cut-by-the-middle' Do17 an actual incident during the BoB? I read somewhere about it and a very recent unearthing of some remains of that bomber in the very center of London.

Thanks again very much to all.

Thanks also Foo'bar you tips, i fixet also this clerical error later my Vimeo testing videos* and orginal video version credits. (* Vimeo HD conversion quality testing - differently Sony Vegas HD video/audio rendering settings → What is really best full HD settings and video formats for Vimeo (also 720p)? I personally do not full trust anymore Vimeo general recommendations this area, because they clearly do not always apply in all cases.

It would be interesting to read also more IL-2 series fans criticism comments, example does that sound like the radio speech the CloD simfilm in certain scenes correctly (British and German views, I ask)? So does that radio voice acting like they are in a short film some scenes possibly from the wrong?

I use mainly this CloD machinima simfilm radio voice actings new beta patch version radio voice actors sounds files and in a few scenes, i use also radio speech sound mods files (IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 – maybe Holy Grail productions, i not sure? But anyway big thanks also this authors) and only in one scene, I used the Battle of Britain (1969) movie voices (German He-111 bomber pilot asks; ”Where is the Royal Air Force?”).

Actual story scenes from the short film I will not change anymore orginal video, some scenes are intentionally keep fictional.

Another outstanding piece of work! Well Done!!!

Hi JokkerFX. Thanks for sharing such well-made video's.

If you don't mind, could you tell me/us which codec and settings you use to export your video footage out of the game? Is it one of the default ones that comes installed with the game (most of which don't work well or at all) or one you've added later? I usually use FRAPS to capture the video, but would like to know if there's a better way of using the game to export AVI's than what I've seen so far. Thanks.

Thanks Les, I use this codec in CloD video records.

x264vfm – H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec (read also this site all info)

http://komisar.gin.by/index.html

I have just discovered that best the CloD video capture quality is obtained when using the ”uncompressed” video record setting (Track player feature ”game replay” / video record), but at least in my case, finish CloD video record shots must yet then still coverted Sony Vegas video editing software to fit the format. I use for this area Total Video Converter software and also VirtualDub (Also others video conversion softwares may be better alternatives).

http://www.effectmatrix.com/total-video-converter/

http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

FRAPS software I've written a few words here

http://vimeo.com/29912068

And Sony Vegas video editing and rendering areas i use x264 / AVC method, timej31 send to me two days ago a good tutorial video link, so watch also this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWMX5lSvEgY

But bitrate a recommendation i have a slightly different view, so when the full HD video contains several clips and may take several minutes or more, this setting is also important for the quality of the finished video sounds, so perhaps in this case, the Sony Vegas / AVC bitrate setting it must be higher than 10Mbs (< 12-16Mbs). But i must yet testing more this area (BoB Day – The Blitz is now also good testing video in this case).

Maybe i must be make also tutorial video in Vimeo ”How use CloD Track player and video record features + Sony Vegas”, but i say again, maybe (the culprit is the time). Anyway, Clod replay features is yet little bugs, hope also that fixed near future (sometimes some objects and visual effects is invisible in Tracks (Gameplay replay tracks – Example in my case, when i making that BoB Day video i use also London environment (mission editor) british balloons objects, but they is in invisible in my gameplay replays).

I hope this message has something to help


- Barfly

[Les]

Thanks for the info Barfly.

I already have a version of the x264 codec installed from another source and haven't been able to get it to work when selecting it from the drop-down list in game. I did test it out recently though by converting a FRAPS AVI to MP4 and the resultant file size and image quality were very good. I might try that version you linked to and see if that works.

As you say, the Uncompressed setting looks best. If it comes down to it I can just use that and compress/convert the (huge) files later, in order to make them easier to edit with. As it is, I'll probably still use FRAPS most of the time in order to avoid the replay system bugs you mentioned, but it's good to know if I need the extra frame-rates the export AVI option is there.

O - M - Fn -G !!!, that's incrediable!

WE users need to use this video to promo COD EVERYWHERE!!! .. especially at inappropriate moments! email it to friends and enemies .. twitter it .. facebook it! etc etc .. well that's my plan as soon as I find a source that doesn't need downloading and unarcing. Vimeo isn't good enough if you cannot run it in properly with one click. Good if there was a YouTube link .

This is a good time to promo COD as the game is alot more stable now.



Well done!

WE users need to use this video to promo COD EVERYWHERE!!! .. especially at inappropriate moments! email it to friends and enemies .. twitter it .. facebook it! etc etc .. well that's my plan as soon as I find a source that doesn't need downloading and unarcing. Vimeo isn't good enough if you cannot run it in properly with one click. Good if there was a YouTube link .

This is a good time to promo COD as the game is alot more stable now.



Well done!

I don't think so because of the humans wich are not ingame but have been overlayed. Using such manipulated video would be as dishonest as using one of the early promotion videos by UBI/Softclub with false sounds. Such a manupulated promotion video just would raise false expectations

Agreed with this particular film BUT they could ask these guys to make one with ingame footage.

For the first one minute of this movie, I thought it looked as real as anything I have ever seen in a simulation.

Well done,

looks nearly perfect, only the green it looks like crayon green.


but hte sounds ... oh dear.. .so much structural whinning... not that ive flown a tiger month, but im preatty sure no metal snapping and twisting would sound lauder than a engine...

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

What's that tie fighter sound that one hears most of the time in the tiger moth clip?

The FSM website (http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/index) provides a youtube link (http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/battle-of-britain-day-the-blitz) for the movie.

[seaeye]

Here is new CloD SimFilm video (Battle of Britain Day - The Blitz. Story is semi-historical).

http://vimeo.com/29912068

Later i upload same short film also other test versions, because i not yet full happy this version video and audio quality. Must be testing also differend video/audio rendering settings (Sony Vegas -> Vimeo full HD conversion and also 720p).

I say also this again, so if this video lag badly your PC, put Vimeo flash player HD setting "OFF" and try watch this video again SD quality.

Fantastic! When I see a film of this quality it just makes me want to fly this sim again. Really though, WOW!

No problem for me with sound with either the embedded Video at FSM, nor at Youtube itself.

New video, this time I decided to dabble in some light editing.

[skouras]

great video
for a moment i though that was the E1 because of the black front panel
damn very very very very high contrast
thanks Krupi for sharing

Better performance with beta patch 2. Now i can use mirror without big FPS hit.

[Les]

Good video's JG52Krupi, nice to see aspects of the game that don't often get a lot of attention (dive/skip bombing, ships etc.)

I thought the editing on the second one was bit unusual, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I find it interesting to see the different ways people choose to show the action. Good quality render too, watched it on full screen and didn't find the compression artifacts distracting.

Thanks dude, tbh that was my first ever attempt at editing a video and I had to do that because the damn freezes fraps caused when making the video. I using fraps and a pre-recorded track.

P.S. I also had that annoying bug that puts an extra set of crosses and that weird bomber symbol when playing a track...:(

Nice vid Krupi! I like the bell that rings after the blast! It´s like:
"from whom the bell tolls!" :evil:

I like the german bomber crew toasted inside flaming cockpit!

[skouras]

hey mate how did you get this zoom in out in the cockpit

[ATAG_Dutch]

Just thought I'd move this here as the mods haven't.

Upgrade your hardware. With the rig in your sign, it´s the only way. My tips:

1) You need more RAM, and DDR3. Somthing like +6GB;

2) Maybe other multicore CPU. I have one cheap Phenom X4, but with nice 3.4GHz. And this CPU do the trick running CloD ok;

3) Faster VGA.

I agree - a fantastic video! This sim is really starting to look so life-like!!

im sorry, but im not wasting 800 euros on a pc for 1 game. i will wait at least till the first Air Wars, USL, and i start to see more than 100 persons online on a daily basis, for that.

Thank you for the video! I think the landscape colours are very good now, particularly at noon.

It's not for one game. With this upgrade even modded IL-2 1946 will run MUCH better! :-P

It's not waste of money, it's investiment.

Yeah at noon the green zones on north-Africa looks like the same. They just need to put some camels on top the hills.

Make we wonder what has happened to the cows we use to hve on airfields ?

Patch Beta 2, v15866 109 Airfield Attack Test (1080p)

Colors and sounds greatly improved and sun flare perfect now. Impressive...Nicely done

[KDN]

Nice Video. It also helped confirm that the engine sound during Throttling/RPM change does not have much variation or/and the engine rev sound is very low. I cannot destinguish between running the Daimler at 2400 rpm and overrevving at 2900 rpm.
Am I perceiving it correctly?

[pupo162]

il2 1946 runs with 70+ fps. so im not worried about that one.

Also investing in the PC world is not worth it. wait 6 months you will get better and cheaper.

when Clod its the snow ill upgrade it: those are my expectations.

Thanks. In the video when I am diving, the throttle is next to zero and the 109 even sputters/chugs when I pull out of the dive. (edited out) I doubt you'd be able to tell much from this video. So it doesn't seem like you're perceiving correctly, no.

[KDN]

Then it is good. The problem must be on my end. Better like that.
Just confirm with me at your first opportunity the sound on overreving as opposed to running your Bf 109 engine at 2400rpm. Can you here the difference without looking at your tachometer?
