Hi all,

Some video captured from work in progress on Sealion mission 6. Mission can be played from 7 separate points of view:

- Erpro 210 Bf110 (attack on British troop positions at Killingwood ridge south of Hawkinge)
- LG2 Bf109e4 scramble from Lympne
- JG26 Bf109e4 air train escort
- He111 air train supply mission Lympne
- 64 Sq Spitfire escort for attack on Folkestone harbour
- 212 Sq Blenheim attack on Folkestone harbour
- 111 Sq Hurricane scramble from Hawkinge

So it is actually seven missions in 1.

For this mission I have built and populated Folkestone harbour using period photographs of the port as my source. There is also considerable land warfare action underway during the mission, with 8th Panzer division tanks and truck mounted Pak 38s trying to take the ridge at Killingwood, while British troops try to hold the line and British artillery targets shipping in the harbour.

I have kept the actual number of ships and objects in the mission to the minimum necessary to keep 20-30 fps on my medium spec machine. My own observations are that the biggest killer of FPS when you are combining land, sea and air ops like this is actually not really the objects/trees/grass etc, though obviously these have to be managed, it is smoke from burning objects. Light up a few freighters and you can take a real FPS hit trying to fly over smoking wrecks.

Cheers

Amazing,


Thank you very much!!!!!! :)

The video is also great, I never saw a Hurri sustaining so much damage... Just a question though: What caused so much damage to the Hurri??? The ME110 gunner??? Impossible...

But regarding the music of the video... THIS is the music you want in there ;)

Great video!

You landed this!!!!!?????

:o

Nice job!

My question was that whether the gunner of the ME110 was the cause of all this damage...

[JG52Uther]

Great video! I can only assume that Hurri attacking the 110 got caught by another one who blasted him with cannons.
I look forward to the day when I can play CoD at such high settings.

Ah my bad...

And yeah I did controls were a bit sluggish for some reason, be damned if I know why ;)

I think I have an addiction to trying to land an aircraft that anyone with an iota of common sense would have jumped out of... I think its a new addiction and hence forth it shall be known as Aircraft In Death-spiral still Survivableism which can be abbreviated to AID..!! oh bugger :shock: :oops:

I haven't played for one month and now I feel like a n00b

[priller26]

The music in that video is outstanding, I wish we could enable something like that during flight/combat. Does anyone know what resolution these videos were captured at?

[planespotter]

The Youtube is max 720 but i think the vid is widescreen so I'm guessing something like 1600 x 900? As for the Hurricane that could also be flak yes? But also a 109 cannon...many times I have been bounced and hit and then never see the attacker.

Stole some of the screenies


At the captured Lympne airfield, the Luftwaffe continues to ferry men, fuel and ammunition in to the newly landed Luftwaffe fighters and fighter bombers.

Overhead, Bomber Command Wellingtons close for a strike on Lympne. "The enemy reports that he has captured Lympne," thunders Churchill in an address to troops on the GHQ Stopline, "I say to him, Sir, by the end of the day, you will be sitting atop a blazing ruin!"

High flying recon finds nothing. In desperation, the call goes out for volunteers for a suicide mission. The objective...approach the woods at treetop level, find the German tank park, if it exists, and get home with the location. All available combat aircraft are already committed, so the task falls to 2 instructors from the No 5 Elementary Flying Training School in their Tiger Moths. They use Lympne as the landmark to start their recon, watching as the bombs of the Wellingtons lay waste to the airfield.

Approaching the woods, the sky erupts with flak, and one of the machines is swatted from the sky

It only makes the surviving pilot more determined. He swings around for a low level pass, hugging the treeline...In the distance, the funeral pyre of his comrade marks the spot where he guesses the tanks must be...

At the last minute he pulls back on the stick and swoops over a clearing...there they are!

http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww152/whirlybirda2a/sealion7_800052.jpg

He dives away and turns for Hawkinge, only five minutes away.

But it is under attack from Bf110s as he arrives.

http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww152/whirlybirda2a/sealion7_800054.jpg

He must get down with his information. Ignoring the strafing 110s, he slams his Tiggie into the turf.

As the 110 pulls away, he dashes for the nearest trench.

Just had hoots flying close air support in my Huricane and watching a mini version of the Kursk tank battle just outside Hawkinge...this campaign developing nicely.
