[KDN]

Thanks Cheesehawk. I will look into my problem. If you don't mind me asking what kind of sound gear are you using?

[He111]

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.

Yeah, not just for COD, newer games will require an upgrade, and don't believe the hype that the desktop / laptop is dead! tablets might be convenient but they're also seriously underpowered .. under everything actually! It'll take 5+ years before tablets get current laptop powers! IMHO

.

[ATAG_Doc]

The overwhelming market is mobile and tablet computing. Games for PC's are becoming much more niche cultures now.

No not dead. But businesses are adopting more mobile devices now over the usual desktop. Mobile computing offers so much more to a foot soldier that travels a lot. From everyday business person to your latte yuppie. There is a new tablet out that cost $35 now. hehe I'll use these for a stocking stuffer next Christmas. :)

With new patches we can really start to raise the bar in benchmark videos... Low level fight over London, multiple aircrafts, with good visuals and performance!

NOW i'm REALLY happy! :-P

cool....what bothers me is that I cant run this map (with all video settings set to high; or most of them) with such performance...and Ive got i7920@3.5Ghz, GTX470@750Mhz 1280MB, and 6GB RAM...res is 1680x1050.

I wonder if, for the sake of immersion, you could sometime make a video without any outside views or zoom, entirely from pilot's perspective?

Thanks!

grrr

Tvrdi, we need to lower some settings that don't impact so much in visuals but do wonders in performance! I set Building Detail to "Very Low", Forest to "Low", when recording over London with FRAPS Textures to "High", no grass, Effects and Decals to "Medium"... The sims looks great with these settings and I gain precious FPS!

[Trooper117]

lol.. I bet you finished that landing with the word 'bugger!'..
I assume you don't have realistic gunnery on, you seemed to have shed loads of ammo..

its not the plane...its the plane and pilot...haha...you should be able to run this scene at 30-35 fps no problem. Update the following and you should be just fine.

Update to latest nvidia beta driver and CloD beta patch, set ground textures to high vs. original, make sure epilepsy off, 2x AA and use the fxaa fix

Also, might be time for some more Ram in the near future..cheap

Nice vid

[Trooper117]

I keep hearing 'get more ram'.. now am I right in thinking that win7 64bit with the current exe can only use a maximum of 3gb of ram?
If this is correct, he seems to have more than enough memory to run the game. I'm not a techie, so you will have to bear with me if my assumptions are incorrect.. lol

More or less I have the same settings as lebisomem....just I have decals to high and houses to med, 2 AA, no FXAA, epilepsy off, textures high...so I will try to lower houses and decals....trees are off....also I have latest nvidia beta drivers.....it seams we all have different standards (regarding performance)....smooth is for me not only 40+ fps but how sim performs in terms of microstutters, FPS variations, how fluid are head movements etc...and its not the same online and offline....online you can have 50 players and 15 planes in dogfight over city

I don't know, you are probably correct. I just threw that in. I hope he does the rest of the stuff and doesn't focus/get hung up on that statement

You should have no problems with trees on medium and unlimited houses. (I wouldnt fly anything less) I have the same standards as you, but I don't play on line yet. Anyway, PM me and I'll try to help you out if I can through messaging. I bet we can get it working great

[LoBiSoMeM]

it seams we all have different standards (regarding performance)....

That's why I make videos recorded with FRAPS during actual gameplay. Without FRAPS perfromance is even better, and now - with latest patches - I don't have anoying stutters even over London in dogfights. But during online matches, if AI or player aircraft spawn, we have some server stutter. Needs more work. SP is really ok now, regards graphic engine. This was my great fear about performance, and MG is doing a good job.

[LoBiSoMeM]

The scenery colours are really starting to look good!

They really aren't. They look washed out, pale, and completely wrong in colour; there should be a notable contrast in the forest regions. Far from how England actually looks. The last Beta looked miles better.

Seems like there will NEVER be a concensus on this forum...Look at all the poles !
So Luthier is better off doing the game as HE thinks is best and forget about community's feedback....And for the moment, even at this unfinished level of developpement, no other flightsim looks as good as COD...Right ? ;) Cause this is what everyone on this forum says....

SAlute!

[TomcatViP]

Still I don't like those colors ;)

[chiefrr73]

No, not right! It s a forum where we can speak out our opinions and we are the users who paid for the game. I m not saying the game is crap, it has the most potential i have ever seen in an air combatsim. Even luthier sayd "know exectly what the comunity wants". I liked the terraincolors of the betapatch bevor this one. I also know that it is impossible to get everyone sattisfied, but like i said it s a "forum", where we can tell the developteam what we like and not.
Just my 2 cents

Of course we can speak out our opinions...But..If you were Luthier , at this very moment, what would you do for the next patch regarding terrain colors and cockpit interior based on all the " opinions" expressed on this forum since last release of Beta patch ? Could you draw the line between everyone wishes and what is best for the game ? How would you define what is the priority ?
Radio chat ? SLI ? Stutters ? Reflections ? More planes ? and so on...
At this point, too many " opinions" to even think about being able to keep track...So it is more and more useless to compile opinions since there is absolutely no concensus about anything concerning changes done in those two last patches. It is all Luthier's game now...

Salute !

[[RS]Boomer]

I take it you're from Germany? You got to talk to your government to get those bans lifted. That is what happened here in the U.S. We finally got most of our music bans lifted from youtube

It is pretty easy to sift between the opinions mate. Regarding the terrain, most of the complainers come from Blighty! They live in the darned country! I can't see what is so difficult about understanding that. People who have never flown over England, or who have an opinion based solely around what people have told them, will always have a warped view. Discount those people, focus on those who are experienced and have posted tangible information, supported by pictures or research, and the answer is pretty clear. Polls, in this instance, are completely pointless.

Just my 2P.

[CWMV]

Yes, but from day 1 there have been bigger issues with this sim.
Frankly I cannot understand why so much effort has been dedicated to colors.

[chiefrr73]

I think you are saying good points, kalimba. I m happy not to be in luthiers possition, believe me! Like i said before, it will never be possible to sattisfied everybody in this world.
If i was him i would try to listening to the people who live in Britain, like philip.ed is saiying about them complaining, or follow the polls and try to make something in between, to get as much as users a little bit happy. Maybie i m naiv and think that it is so easy to do..

Yeah of course.... and if we let that kind of guys speak in our names we will have to study (kirky) rocket sciences to fly their Spity (but will they solely allow us to clim on the cockpit ?) and dozen of 109 will vanish of the sky just by the blink of their clear blue eyes.

Jajaja... Freedom of speach they said ?

By the way, hving been up there I still maintain that noon over England does not look like a Nrth African country.

You may be right...But living in England and flying over England could be two very different things...;) Color and tone perception from 1000m above inside a cockpit with plexiglass and reflexions must be altered in some ways...
I have seen videos on Youtube with almost identical terrain as in COD...And some with very very different colors and tone...SO wich one is the reference ?

I'm struggling to translate this, but yes, i am all for freedom of speech, but there is usually a good indication as to whose view is right (in this case more correct) and whose view is wrong. it's never black and white, but we can always choose a shade of grey. In this case, black is an option.

EDIT: Kalimba, I agree buddy! You're right. i usually assume most people who live here have flown over England, and thus have a 'fairly' good idea (more so than most, I'd wager...) But having flown over England a number of times, Beta 1 was far more realistic.

Well then Philip, I'll take your word for it ! ;)
Maybe one the issues here is that " realistic" doesn't look ( read "as in the movies" ) as good as Luthier's version ...:rolleyes:
Sun glare, reflexions, tracers,etc, are also among those debatable subjects ...real less likable than fiction...:cool:

I use Buildings Amout and TExtures in HIGH: good compromise between performance and quality. I'm not in BF3 running on the streets with a gun... :rolleyes:

so you are ok with thsoe ugly cities? thay just look worst than il2 where the transaction occours far mroe softely and fro mreatter distance.

Actually your example is just plain stupid, in BF3 you dont need too see more than 5 to 6 buildings since you are on the ground, in COD whoever you need too see from greater distances.

i like Lego too, or i used too. now what?

You don't seen to grasp the concept of limited CPU/GPU resources...

[pupo162]

You don't seen to grasp the concept of limited CPU/GPU resources...

i do. All im asking is for Proper LOD fr distnat buildings, and a more gradual switch beetween them. ATM the corrent LOD and switch is worse than 2001 IL2.

[LoBiSoMeM]

You don't seen to grasp the concept of limited CPU/GPU resources...

He doesn't.

Use UNLIMITED and you'll de happy with all texture streaming needed. My GPU can't handle all this over London.

[Malka4re]

due to low settings no doubt?

[pupo162]

He doesn't.

Use UNLIMITED and you'll de happy with all texture streaming needed. My GPU can't handle all this over London.

unfortunetly setting to unlimited does not help with the popping issue, nor the bad layer transaction issue.

R.I.P IL-2 1946. Was a glorious age!

[Trumper]

;) Not so sure on the RIP il2 ,you can fly online wars on there and for a sim that is 10 years older and with the mods not really a huge amount of improvement on CLOD,well not 10 years worth.
Ok some visuals are better but not 10 years worth of better,oh and il2 is playable on older PC's for those of us who won't or can't upgrade for 1 game.

[louisv]

1946 is not from 10 years ago ! And the mods even less.

I'm wondering how many rounds I have left. As I pull up at 15 meters I feel a couple of impacts and my plane lurches right. I'm still climbing but now fighting to trim the plane. I glance to my right and see the missing wingtip. My rudder also has some damage but its minor. So much for the fighting on this day, we're heading home.

nice video. How does it run on your system? FPS take a major hit? What part of the system would be the bottleneck for these clouds, in your opinion?

With medium clouds, the sim runs OK if you aren't looking to a lot of clouds. The bottleneck i believe it's the not so much optimized smoke/clouds... :confused:

All I can say Mr.X that great shooting. Deflection is spot on and hitting at convergence at most times. Also noted that controls are nicely tweaked as no stalls etc.

[Foo'bar]

...and all that without TrackIR! :)

Congrats Mr X

very instructive video, greater shoter.

thx for video.

hmmm , I've yet to have a plane explode into flames once hit. obviously i'm using the wrong ammo .. or the wrong eye-balls :grin:

This video show perfectly everything that is wrong with the CLoD 109 gunsight. :( Notice the need to zoom in with straps off (or whatever) in order to use it. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out. I think if you ever dogfight against a competent human spitfire in flat/rolling scissors in close proximity, he will eat you for lunch Mr. X. because he will have trackir/freetrack and no need to waste time zooming in and zooming out. While you are spending time zooming in and zooming out and trying to find him from you lost peripheral vision, he will already have you because he doesn't have to do that zoom in/zoom out like you do.

[robtek]

This imaginary gunsight "problem" wouldn't be there if Mr.X had freetrack/trackir!

[mcler002]

Mr X's video clearly shows how great he is in the ME 109 - really jealous that I can't fly and shoot (the main thing I need to improve in) like that - also provides a good lesson to all ME 109 pilots!

Ross

[MadBlaster]

This imaginary gunsight "problem" wouldn't be there if Mr.X had freetrack/trackir!

You are correct. There is a workaround for this issue if one has freetrack/trackir. But not all pilots (like Mr. X) have those or maybe they don't want to use them for whatever reason. They instead prefer the hat switch,keyboard or whatever.

So why not put everyone on equal footing in the game? The old IL-2 way worked fine, no matter if you have head tracking or not. You could have a gun sight cross hair and wide view and use a hat switch for views. But not in CLoD because of "realism". I really have to wonder how real it is. It is not good for game play where some will have the advantage from a head tracking work around and others don't imo. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, maybe you get a headache after a while of doing that.:-P

[TomcatViP]

I don't share your view regarding the zoom but perso I don't hve the same gun à la IL2

I scarcely rip of a tail or a wing in fight and certainly hve not blew up a plane in fast firing pass.

No matter what hypnotic music you put in MrX I am still not convinced by your video !

[ATAG_Snapper]

............. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, maybe you get a headache after a while of doing that.:-P

Agree. War is hell.

[Flanker35M]

S!

He has a very good SA in the fight. And most importantly hits the target thus making it less good fighting. There were more videos at ATAG forum by him..and TomcatVIP, you were quite a lot whining at him in one of them so I think his flying and shooting is spot on ;) No offense!

Winger

PS: No doubt he is great in the 109. But posting a video like this is plain self-praise and obliterates the respect one might have had for his skills/the person before he posted it.

Well if you think that shooting at a plane that hve just lift off and is still with his wing level is a proof of sup flying, well that's a point of view that I don't share ;)

The short burst "and then you die" or the evil camo that "you can't see me"* is other things that I won't comment again here.

Mr.X - never thought you were a cheater - I've met you quite a few times ona ATAG and Repka small DF server - all you did was shooting at aircraft that just took off. Shooting might be OK in that video, S! dude, but actual flying not as impressive, especially after some .303 medicine from my Hurricane. I left that training server few times because of you and you might be a good shot, you're not a cheater, but you fly like trash. Plus real men fly the E-3 :D (yeah that's a joke)

Heh, Winger above might remember, I had a nice fight with him in a Rotol Hurri that evening, took at least 10 minutes, some nice flying dude - this Mr.X is coming nowhere close when it comes to swinging your 109 around (my nick is bobika).

Even on Atag, I now when I take off there are always these two ugly green 109s - Mr.X a Molnienosnyi (sp.?) BnZ straight after you start. Great job guys, you're soooo good, please make more videos.

Just my opinion, sorry about the OT.

[Trumper]

IF it is true that they just hang around and wait for people to take off well it was that sort of thing that killed off dogfight servers for me.We ended up flying as squads in online wars with objectives being more important than personal kills.

[Flanker35M]

S!

He and his wingman use Russian green skins on their planes so expect them to vanish ;) Seriously, I watched all videos on ATAG forum and he quite well managed to turn a fight to his favor from equal E or even get away from a chasing Spitfire. His flying was OK.

The point is that when he gets a firing solution he usually hits the target and dealing good damage so he can finish you off. What I see is that he uses BnZ against Spits and Hurricanes, never turns with them more than 45-90deg. Instead climbs up to gain alt and dives down on the "stick in stomach" Sissy/Cane and pumps in more lead. Rinse and repeat.

I wish I could shoot that well..my flying will never be good LOL :D

[Winger]

S!
dives down on the "stick in stomach" Sissy/Cane and pumps in more lead

"Stick in Stomach" LOOOOOL :)

BnZ - Thats the way to do in a 109. Anything else is suicide.

Remember the times when so many poor pilots called =FB=VikS a cheater (http://forum.wbfree.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8920) or fought him on the forums because did not have balls do it in the game. I felt pity for them. Everyone understands where this comes from.

It follows that as Maddox is a Russian company the codes would work only on a Russian keyboard layout.
Beware!

Beware!

Viks is part of the developer team and for this fact he has insights in facts the normal player has not. This makes him a Cheater playing his own developed game in my eyes.
This is just an opinon and i dont expect anyone to share it. If i was a developer of a game i would not go onto its multiplayer servers and rule the shit out of everyone wasting everyones fun.
I would play it for testing sakes but not like that. Doing so and then wondering why people like me have opinions like me makes me wonder. Maybe i am just a strage fella:P

Spreading false information and creating myths are examples of what I called forum fighting.

Maybe some of =FB= were beta-testers for original IL-2 that I doubt but being a beta-tester and being a cheater are a bit different things anyway. BTW now VikS is a part of 777 RoF team as many of =FB= pilots. Maybe this fact causes some confusion.

[JG52Uther]

Its funny, Viks doesn't use TiR either, just hat switches.Maybe we are at a disadvantage lol
Also, I must be using the wrong ammo as well, because planes never light up/ fall apart like that when I hit them!
Would hitting at dead on convergence every time have this effect?

S!

VikS was a beta tester on original IL-2 and a very good pilot of that matter. Also he is a very nice guy, been in contact with him over the years. So calling him a cheater is plain wrong. He is extremely good pilot but not unbeatable ;) Same applies to Mr.X..he is good shooter and good pilot but again not a cheater or unbeatable. Instead of whining/accusing watch the videos and learn ;)

I watched the vid again more closely. He obtaines these burn and burst effects on different distances. Most of them in the range 120-170m and some well less than 100m.

I am so not sure if convergence is really the key here.

I usually never obtain a full hit with explosions with distances below 100m.

This is a video of my first time playing Il-2 Cliffs of Dover ON-LINE, against real live players. Or, vulchers more like it! Well, I've been on-line a few times now, and vulching is not common at all, thankfully...

Playing against live opponents and not just the AI is quite a handful, but also great fun. I hope to get the hang of it and will upload a few vids of the progress I'll (hopefully) do...

I must say, I really like the totally revamped sound engine: the sounds are just sumptuous now! Check out that Bf-109 fly-by.
The colour palette is also renewed I see... - Well, I don't note a big difference, but that's probably just me... - I mean, all the furious whining was about a serious flaw, wasn't it? ;)

Enjoy this one, and as always, comments very welcome!

Online is where it is at. Got vulched for the first time yesterday while warming up and thought it was cool. It doesn't happen too often so no big deal. There was a full dogfight going on over Hawk and it all just felt alive. The sounds are really good and immersive. I fly on the ATAG server and the Allied side ATAG's TS is always good. Really helpful folks populate that side. I can only assume most Axis players are using their own squads TS because I never hear anything when I fly Axis. Maybe I am just on at the wrong times.

The videos are recorded from a track of a mission flown with full realism. My video settings are: Detail Level - High (plus Visual Effects increased to High); AA @ 8x; SSAO, VSync, Grass, Shadows, Roads: On; Antiepilepsy Filter: Off, Resolution: 1920x1080. My hardware is listed in my signature.

The first video is an external view made exclusively with "External Flyby" and the second video is cockpit view from the same track with TrackIR (watch for the close encounters at 2:10 in each video).

Hi.
Why do not shake your head (your plane) when you shoot with 20mm...?
Which server was it? Which settings?

[Stealth_Eagle]

I only recently began voice chat and trust me, it makes a world of a difference.

[MK.Mr.X]

Mr. X, can you pls. tell us the settings of the server regarding ballistics and ammo, and what is your belting? Is it a realistic gunnery?
Thanks to all the comments!
Ballistics:
E4! I think everyone knows that the game is messed up vertically and horizontally for?
I put in the game: vertical 150 horizontal 500 (this is on the wings), machine guns - 400
If he flew it on ATAG, probably. But do we know that this video is made from sorties on ATAG server?
I fly on Atagi and Repka

perfect showcase: 4:36s the spit's upon him and he's looking it's direction, and even if you pause it's almost impossible to spot the damn plane! this just can't be a true display of the real life situation! something should be done, even adding bloom effect to damn fighters would be more realistic... no don't do that. but almost....

[smurf-oly]

I'm curious about the zoom onto the wheeled artillery piece at minute 1:20 in your video .. I assume you are using TrackIR (or maybe FreeTrack)?

How did you get that kind of zoom?

Is it just z-axis movement (moving head towards the monitor)? If so, I would love a copy of your TrackIR profile, as I am unable to reproduce that effect.

If not, I would still love to know how you did it.

In any case, I enjoyed the video...

I don't think that Spitfire would have survived that attack, it looks like he bounced off the runway. Very exciting to be on an airfield during an air raid is very exiting

This is the 3rd time its been moved, I think you should leave the words on-line out of the title. I bet you have 2 mods moving it around based off where they think it should be.

ah ok,bandit_astronaut now i know who you are,... a really hard oponent! its true what you are saying about the hurri...it is competent against the 109s....i had the hardest times against hurris and not the spits.if you have equal energie and fly disciplined, you dont have to fear a spits, whereas hurris are a real threat.

Hello all,

I don't know why the moderators decided to move the "CoD videos" stickie to the CoD Multiplayer forum, but I must say that it think it is a very bad idea. It is evident that only a limited group of CoD simmers play multiplayer: just see how few are online at any given time. A lot more people are interested in watching CoD movies, but they don't visit the Multiplayer forum, so they are losing out on the videos altogether. Also, videos are about many many different aspects of the sim, and not just about flying online.

So, please put the video thread back into the main forum. The efforts to shoehorn discussions into frankly rather weird places are counterproductive. This sim has problems enough getting exposure, I don't see why the moderators should make it even more difficult for fans to read about what interests them.

[Freycinet]

Putting the video thread here in the Multiplayer forum is just a surefire way to make sure nobody comes to see the videos.

+1.. Let's keep movies mainstream !

[Mysticpuma]

I realise why you would want it back here and I agree to a point, but a fair compromise would be to have a sub-forum entitles "CoD Movie Making and Movie Vault"

That way it's highlighted where information about movie-making will be as-well as being a good archive to see videos?

Cheers, MP

[Freycinet]

I can agree with the idea of a dedicated movie forum, if they absolutely cannot go into the main forum.

In general I find that these many sub-forums are a bad idea. They haven't worked elsewhere (witness the earlier RoF forums) and they don't do much good here either...

IIRC you requested none of your videos were moved into CoD video thread like everyone else usually does as you wanted your own separated video comments and forum following.

As far as cleaning this thread up as I have due to members arguing and going of topic with accusations of cheating, its a video thread lets keep it that way.

Also

Not sure who put it in Multiplayer as a stickie but I've moved it back on to the main board.

If it ends up back in there its not by me.

[Freycinet]

Yes, I very much prefer to have my own little thread, because I often have some nice exchanges going about my videos. Those exchanges are actually a major reason why I keep making them.

But I always post a link to my thread from the "CoD Video"-thread.

As a matter of fact there'll be a new video up in a few moments...

Well my apologies but my goal isn't to make a cinematic masterpiece but give a feel for actual online play for the many lurkers that are curious about it.

Yes sometimes one can classify it as "boring" but that is realism. Not everyone is thrilled about start-up procedure and flight times to find something to do but this is just a snippet of real time online play. Which I do every day. I haven't played single player since finding online play. The windows are there because I am recording live not playback - requires waaaaaay too much time. Just roll it live and capture it be it good or bad. I offer any footage to anyone that scores a kill against me anytime. I just expect the same in return. That's how gentlemen are.

I'll leave cinematic masterpieces to BarFly. :)

[Upthair]

You are correct. There is a workaround for this issue if one has freetrack/trackir. But not all pilots (like Mr. X) have those or maybe they don't want to use them for whatever reason. They instead prefer the hat switch,keyboard or whatever.

So why not put everyone on equal footing in the game? The old IL-2 way worked fine, no matter if you have head tracking or not. You could have a gun sight cross hair and wide view and use a hat switch for views. But not in CLoD because of "realism". I really have to wonder how real it is. It is not good for game play where some will have the advantage from a head tracking work around and others don't imo. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, maybe you get a headache after a while of doing that.:-P
You are right.

It's not difficult at all. Actually, most of the time, you injure or kill the guy in a 109 even from dead 6 o'clock. The .303 are actually very effective and I rarely need to repeat my attack. Short burst and he's done with pieces falling off (usually rudder or flaps), water and fuel leaking, often the fuel tank bursts into flames (unfortunately only visual effect unless you see black smoke, too), but most of the time I bet the pilot sees red and has got great trouble seeing you.

From your flying at ATAG, it's clear you're a very good pilot and shot, but your K/D ratio is on as favourable as it was on a 109. RAF is very challenging to fly against good 109 pilot, don't you agree? ;)

Wait till the .50 arrives at least before starting my ammo is porked fest.

As with all ammo convergence is the key to getting results, you can sit behind your enemy firing till all belts are out,
without correct convergence and aiming you are wasting your time.

Nope, just Chuck Testa. :o

Ok: the .303 CAN be very effective when used right. What Alpha said - convergence is the key. What I described was BnZ attack in a Hurricane against a 109, I really rarely have to repeat as that guy is finished and very often injured. It's more difficult against bigger and better armoured targets, but 109 is not a problem if you manage to get close enough.

Many pilots (not just me, there are far better shot than myself btw) can get any Axis bomber in one pass. If you hit a He or Ju in the right spot from the right distance => wing off.

The convergence factor is way overrated here IMHO especially with the 109 guns. This is obvious if you aim at a slightly offsetted target (like from low 6 for ex) when the aiming point is off the plane.

What was not funny is how you accused me of cheating after I happened to shot you down on ATAG this afternoon. Just what I spoke about - convergence distance does the trick, one short burst and your wing off (Rotol Hurricane vs. Bf 110).

[TomcatViP]

I'm sry but it doesn't work here.

What I was moslty contesting (as I had a lag as I told you with wing on/wing off in a matter of a frame) was the "no cutout with neg G".

Moreover, this is not a thread to discuss tjht. Probably you know this alrdy:evil: . Would be better to open another thread.

Doesn't matter - my post was well to the topic of the above video, e.g. convergence shooting.

As for your whining and accusing other people in the chatline - that's your business and copmletely off topic, but just FIY if you know about the neg G cut out I might as well as I actually flew that Hurri and I am not stupid to follow you in that kind of maneuvers + I know how much I can push to keep her running smoothly. I am not cheater because I don't fall for your trick (nicely done neg G roll btw) and I know how to shoot.
