A very nice vid wilburnator :)

What is that guy saying over the radio about Dover?

A video with SSAO on and reduced textures. Patch 1.00.14072

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.

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.

this image is for those guys that said the bf109e yellow are bad and are like a plasick toy:

:-)

Never said there was, I am not comparing it to another sim, but to what hardware and software in 2011 is capable of.

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).

Blind gunners?
 

not blind at all
 

The video depicts how luck can play into an intercept. the gunners were obviously caught off guard while they were recharging their laser cannons! :D
Flyby out
sorry poor humor. someone with real knowledge will reply soon, I hope.

You know where that comes from? I am sure its from Theatre of War 2 Kursk, which used the IL2 engine. I was just playing it yesterday and most of those vehicles, especially those unusual armored cars are identical to the ones in TOW2K. They just moved over the IL2 models to the new engine...

new patch works fine heres the answer

looking forward for a great gaming time

S!

Yeah, I love very well this game now !
A great sim :)

So much better. What a difference. I'm so glad that the sim is really coming together in such a shot time with the patches. The only thing I can't figure out is why has UBISOFT pushed back the release date for North America to May 24th?

My first Guncam video on the bomber intercept mission. And then some strafing Stonehenge with fuel trucks and cattle next to them :-P

Early Morning Flight
 

Is it possible to light the instruments in the panels like Ctrl+L in IL2?

Some of us have visual issues and the gauges are not readable from what I've seen unless you zoom in on them

Gunner training
 

Have you tried fiddling with gunner AI in FMB, there was one mission where you have to shoot down a lonely He-111 in the stock campaign and that thing defended itself like Hell on Wheels.

Regards Hunger

Ctrl + L does work as I recall, and looks beautiful. That said the light isn't very bright, in what I assume is a realistic way, but as I say looks great.

I saw Oleg say in an interview that 'Cliffs of Dover' could have about a thousand planes in the air at one time. So I thought, mmm, I wonder what that looks like...

And it actually runs???
Best proof i've seen sofar that CoD does deliver!
What are your specs?
Thanks!

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.

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.

if someone tried the new patch...pls post some videos on youtube or here! Naturally...indicate also the version and sys specs!
Thanks

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.
Flyby out

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.

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.

Well now that we've got some official bench-marking tracks, maybe this is more what you're into - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21708

Thanks for the link...

It is interesting how sounds drift in and out, and you don't know where they originate.

I found this one by accident , looking for info on DH-5.
nothing like a little Rammstein to get the blood moving :)

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?

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

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:

Cheers, MP.

A pair more...

Just before patching:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j5-ehSgpRY
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! :)

can't help, but
 

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.
Flyby out

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

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?

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;)

So you post here expecting protection from an argument?

Back to my question. Which WW2 flight sim do you recommend?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL1lfSzgcAw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1J4MoE5Y1E

:)

Interesting. So, you don't like IL-2, but you think I should buy it. You don't like CoD because it's just like IL-2, but you don't think I should buy CoD.

Can you think of a reason why anything you say should be taken seriously?

Tuckie .. I enjoyed both those videos: pure fun. Thanks for posting. Download time for Canada must be near :D

More and more discussions are turning dirty,i always thought sims were the videogames for adults?

Christ almighty!:rolleyes:

You forgot to turn on your gunsight illuminator in most of those video, might help!

Is what I heard

Ok I got to say - this made me lol

My favourite thing to do in games when people type in another language is to say - Stop speaking gibberish, learn american!
When the "theres no such thing as american etc.." roll in I always write "Stop Wineing!"

Get amusing reactions :-P

Best Video
 

This is not my video, but I think it is the best video made so far. Great job to this guy!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LMftuei6Fw

Oh boy... nice. Looks like a sort of Feature movie preview.

Was there some "artistic embelishment" contained within this movie ? The explosions looked a bit more dramatic vs. in game explosions.
Outstanding movie either way.

Very nice!! Be forewarned. Everyone who gets this sim will gain weight.

Very very nice!! Very nice indeed! Tired of waiting. Lets go!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfQ9YpEdSuY

Assorted clips to the soundtrack of a friend of mines band (Local to Portsmouth & Bognor area of the English South Coast) - some parntal guidance required for first track. Ohit also shows how bad a shot I've become in this sim - well some things dont change :-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8FqGDHAHzg

a more familiar tune - though you tube tells me that Wagner Ride of the Valkyries is banned in Germany - so if you are Germany you cant view it due to copywright issues :-(

Well the early Condors didn't have front dorsal turrets to face backwards and from memory, no anal gunner? but you're correct with all those planes you'd think at least one gunner would have gained abead on you. Don't forget the Condor was a flying fuel tank, one hit and ... try He111s.

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

He111.

I'd laugh my rear end off if I saw the pilot bust out his flip camera and snap a photo of that plane next to him.

I can't "love" anything where millions of men hve lost their live.

Oh wow, I love that piece - I suppose its problem is it plays into the whole Nazi german mythology.

Edit- Too OT.

How disturbing. Might I suggest substituting the word "men" for people. Since you have the word "love" just 5 words away in the same sentence.

Warn us about the audio!!!!!! Gave me a ******* heart attack. I thought I had my headphones lowered.... or at least I thought I did. Halfway through the clip and BAMMMMMMMMM!

Lol really? :rolleyes:

Sorry... when yoou get slow motion, sound is off, and back again when normal play is recovered... ;)


A few more... just to appreciate details:

My first Hurricane Landing, loved the way it floats and stalls just over the runway:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6DSM9sfOSI

This is what happens to a fire if the plane is stopped on the ground, and an incendiary bullet hits fabric. Where are the aerodrome's firemen? ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLKEgeE017A

Just an spectacular crash I had when I was doing destruction tests... did you see "Kamikace" movie? Remembers one of the final crashes...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK1IPWhtTvI

Very nice videos! It would make me giggle if the guy would get out of the plane stop drop and roll.

OMG, "Baaaammmmmm" :)

Nice videos.

BTW, In the third video... The way that Heinkel stayed still after the crash and blast, just doesn't seem right! :eek:

~S~

exelent video!!

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...

I suck almost as badly at movie-making as at flying, so bear with me... :)

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!

Sys specs:

Running the sim smoothly at generally the highest settings, 1920x1080 60Hz.

Due to the youtube-videofication the vid looks much more jaggy and much less smooth than it runs in real life. You should see the 4.49 GB raw video file, it is great looking!

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

Great vid,thanks!

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.

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??

Nice flick Freycie! Had an authentic yet subtle comic feel to it.:)

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/sea...t:alphabetical

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 ;).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vurLN2X1W0

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSSGRzLX848

Edit- lol, some lurker's already given it the thumbs down after it's only had twenty-something views, probably someone from the forums here.

C'est Magnifique! Claude Monet meets Frank Wootton.

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.
