Sorry, that's the second time I've done that. I usually upload them as Private to check how they run (and see how badly Youtube compress them) before making them public. Sometimes I forget to change the privacy settings when I click to save the general settings.

Request for video of night landing if posible.

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

Probably the best advertisement yet to get me to buy the game. Thanks.

Superb! For the old-timers here, back in the early days of IL-2 I created a website called "Wiley's WWII GunCam World". I had to shut it down after 2-3 years because of crazy bandwidth costs.

The COD damage effects, and other advancements, have now provided the opportunity to produce amazingly realistic GunCam footage. We've come a long way, baby!

Good Job and Kudos to whoever made that video.

Cant you do that now but just use youtubes bandwidth??

I showed the clip to a couple of people, after telling them it was actual colorized gun camera film. Neither of them guessed what it really was, until I told them it was from CoD, a PC-based flight simulator. Eyebrows were raised, and mouths fell open, in each case.

This is brutal.

I remember those vids. They where really nice. Imo better than then one above.
Looking forward to your guncams based on CoD.

Anyone here know a good combination for getting guncamera like filters? The black bars running back and forth etc.

I used to use virtual dub for IL-2 back in the day, but unfortunately I lost the filter package called "MSU OldCinema 2.0" that easily added all these oldtime 40's black and white movie effects.

Would be much appreciated if somebody could point me in the correct direction :) I've made these vids using that:

Excessive resolution to looks like a gun-cam, you need less resolution, it needs be more blurry.

I cant quit the music of this from my mind, damn :evil:

I know how you feel - I always felt that Samuel Barbers; Adagio for strings was the most melancholic and haunting piece of music I knew. I haven't been able to get out of my mind since I first heard it, in Oliver Stones "Platoon", so be prepared to have it haunt you, for at least a 1/4 century.

How do you make the videos ? Do you record it while playing with Fraps or do you save the track 1st then replay it an record ? Which other software/codecs do you use ?

nice video, got it from us forum

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs56Mr9iFqQ

Here is a video of the QMB air battle over Dover in Eyefinity mode. The monitors are 3 22' 1680x1050 arranged in portrait mode, standing on end. With bezel correction on, the final resolution in game was 3460x1680. I had to limit fraps to 22 fps and half-size capture because anything more than that caused major choking when I hit the record button.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3CfgVaPI4o

Did you see that 109 roll rate :eek:, at 3:34 the 109 makes 4 rolls when the player was just able to make 1...

Yep, obviously an AI. AIs really alter the planeperformance in a totally unrealistic way currently. But their dumbness compensates for that:)

Man I was patting myself on the back! You mean AI does dumb things? Crap! :confused:

New vid by me here:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...369#post284369

- comments very welcome in the thread... :)

Outstanding!!

Here's a new video testing the May 18 retail patch in Eyefinity mode, 5276x1050. Two Powercolor 6970 PCS+ graphics cards in Crossfire. Crossfire works, but is strangely unpredictable. Sometimes I run a QMB mission at 100 FPS at this resolution, and it looks and feels fantastic, ten minutes later I can run it again with no setting changes and it will seem to labor, and stay in the 30s. I can't pin to anything in particular, so it's a little frustrating. This time it ran well enough to give fraps a go, so I recorded a track. Try to watch it expanded and at the largest resolution you can, because at this aspect ratio everything will be tiny at windowed 360p...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-4wfgkEwK4

There is no way I would ever do this resolution.

It is just surreal.

I may not be able to see everything with my resolution, but it has some resemblance to the real world.

It does look very weird if you see it on 1 video, but if you have 3 different screens the result is different. I don't think you can really portray Eyefinity this way so you´ll have to to record yourself playing on 3 screens.

Here is my Black Death track after the 5/18 patch and vsync enabled. I see much better improvement. I am running everything on max settings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WViSAF1AB8

Exactly that. It looks very odd as a small video on a single screen. It looks pretty good playing on 3 monitors with a 5 foot span of display in front of you.

Still, CloD does not support widescreen really any better than IL2 did. The only difference is that you don't have to manually edit the config file in CloD. That is very disappointing, most newer games I've tried it with work beautifully. Iracing, for example, supports multiple monitors in a much better fashion.

Amazing video Les.

Whew.... I'd hate to think of being on the gun station mid-position on top.

All that flak and shrapnel flying around.

I can't imagine being an RAF pilot so set on killing a bomber as to wade through all that flak.

Anyway, I ran it a 1080 full screen and it rendered great on my system.

Overall, that's a great proof of concept kind of video, Les. Really illustrates what's possible in this sim for the movie makers.

Too bad about the weird black harpoons flying everywhere. I guess that's an artifact from rendering slow and then speeding up the recording?

Thanks for the feed-back.

Was using a bit of artisitic license there, having the fighters in amongst all that. It did make me wonder though about how the fighters and anti-aircraft guns worked together in real life. I imagine there must have been overlaps here and there, and times when the pilots just had to back off even though they might have been more effective at stopping the bombers than the flak (and perhaps vica-versa come to think of it.)

Unfortunately, those bits of 'shrapnel' you see flying around aren't a result of how I made the video, but just a result of having so many flak bursts going off in one area. They're there all the time, but just aren't usually as noticeable when there are less of them flying around at the same time. I guess they serve their purpose of showing how much metal the flak-bursts throw off, but the way they're represented really should be more refined. Imo they just look too big and tend to fly too far at the moment.

Still, again, I think the video does show something of how full-on such missions were in real life.

In terms of the video showing what's possible for the movie-makers, the technique used to show things on this scale is actually a bit limiting. You get more graphical bugs than usual (pushing the game up to and past some of it's capabilities) and are mostly limited to doing once-off 'live' recordings of the action, making it much harder or even impossible sometimes to do things like cutting between different planes for example. I think some people would be surprised by just how complex and involved the process is behind showing even the simple straightforward kinds of action you can see in the video's I've made using the technique. Not saying it can't be used to make more traditional, story-based movies, but it certainly wouldn't be easy. I guess it would be similar to doing special effect shots in a regular movie, wherein setting up and executing such shots can take a huge amount of time and preparation and post-production work just to make them look like 'normal' shots...

Anyway, better leave it there, it's a video thread isn't it, not a talking about video thread:).

The Oscar goes to......Les!!! Fantastic!!

As I recall the black streaks are supposed to be flak shrapnel.

Way overdone AFAIK. All the streaks do is clutter up the screen.

Better, if you saw nothing... My opinion of course

Someone probably spent alot of time creating that mess of flak streaks, and the devs don't want to let got of that feature. LOL

The flak explosions look pretty good, but too much of the same thing in apprearance.

Enjoyed the video!

The benchmark track that ran worst for me in previous patch was this one... so here's the video with the 1.01.14550:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikmU3HZLfRE

Has anybody here ever been flak[I]ed[I] ? We would need the opinion of somebody who has actually seen it...Maybe Luthier interviewed someone who was there ?

Correction, the Archie goes to Les ;) Brilliant work.

Hum...Flaks that look like overdone harpoons...Probably made by the same guy who made those...magnificient tracers ;)

Salute !

yeah to be honest, I do believe that flak shrapnel can be seen. Maybe not at their initial velocity, but bouncing off the windscreens/fuselage and generally making a lot of metal "tin-can impact" sounds. It's like on new years eve, there's always loads of pieces from rockets and batteries lying around. You'll even occasionally get hit by the tip-cap of the rocket after it's fallen back to earth. I think the shrapnel is too thick, other than that, I like the new effect. Some games would show this as sparks instead, but I think the shrapnel effect better represents reality. But like I said, the stripes are again too thick for my taste. Maybe some variation in size would be more realistic, since no shrapnel is equally large and same shaped.

Btw anyone noticed that the flak now simulates pressure centers? So you get bounced around by it if you are close to the explosion? I like that alot. I think once the sound engine gets an overhaul, the devs should add the sound of metal pieces raining on the fuselage for both immersion and realism. It's been done already in B-17 flying fortress, the mighty eight.

Spit vs 109
 

Just a quick online scrap vs a 109. Nothing special.. and I know I'm a terrible shot ;)

Looks good to me.

Are you on a stock cooler?

What's your i7 revision? A C0 or a D0?

Try OCing your CPU to the 4 Ghz range.

Cheers.

Certainly not as impressive as most of the vids you chaps have posted. Not particularly difficult either, just a little video of me demonstrating the benefits of fuel injection...

My systems still a little stuttery over London so I need to spend a little more time playing with video settings. I haven't even worked out how to record a track file yet. Regardless I'm very pleased with how things are progressing with the patches. A month ago I couldn't of achieved this even on low settings. Keep up the good work chaps. :grin:

Whats your hardware specs?

Microsoft FFB2
Home made/modified pedals
Home made CEM panel
Track IR5 with clip
Vista 64
Q6600 quad overclocked to 3.6ghz (will do 4.0ghz if I want to warm the house up)
Water cooling
Western digital raptor drives running RAID (CLOD currently installed on a non raid drive though)
Aerocool Titanium PSU
XFI extreme sound card
ATI HD5870 1GB
Dfi LANPARTY JR P45-T2RS Board
4 GB Vitesta 1066 Ram (running at 800 to stabilise overclock)
24" IIYAMA ProLite display. (2ms full HD 1920x1080)

All a couple of years old or more now with exception of the card.

I have a slot for another 5870 but no plans to upgrade at the moment and I'd struggle to get a bigger PSU in this MATX case. I have loads of stuff running in the background and I need to have a go at optimisation and emptying some of the garbage out of my drives too. Fraps also made things worse.

Cheers

I put my recent videos, soon I will try to make a new one with this latest patch, the performance not just be to my liking, but is acceptable if we compare the first patches.

Thanks for the info. It seems it's good enough for sightseeing London. But it should be hard to dogfight down low.

I'm curious installing CloD again to test it with the new patch + hotfix. My graphic card it's pretty much the same as your 5870 in terms of performance.

excellent videos .. any chance of seeing a Defiant (AI) in action, maybe against a 110 (flyable)?

Thanks

Here is a couple of uploads I just did to show the improvement I got using RAM disk. I dedicated 4 GB of RAM for bob_3do.SFS, bob_buildings.SFS and bob_ground.SFS and maps. I am actually pleased with these results.

Well done chap certainly seems to be running pretty well. I don't have bags of spare RAM myself but it means I've just added a dedicated SSD to my shoping list.

Here is the link to the post where I found this. It's a big improvement for me anyway.

This video is not in HD but we know how good CLoD looks. This video is about the sound of the guns.

Question, where did the mod maker got the sound from? If it's not recording or artificial sound based on actual recordings, then they're equally bad as the original ones.

This is where if I read right thy got the sounds.

Hey very nice!

Big change in the realism of the Sim. Thy did a great job with this.

This is the video before I edited the song.

In-order to hear the gun's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2kJn_en8oQ

A marked downgrade. It went from sounding like 8 guns firing 20 rps from several yards away (the actual situation) to sounding like one gun firing 8 rps from the next valley over.

A short for the forums. Enjoy.

Nice find with Churchill's speech it really feels authentic!

Thanks Tuckie. The CloDless very much appreciate the extended videos that you, Freycinet et al upload.

Nice videos and flying.

Man, those final moments of the long video where really bad (stutter wonderland). :mad:

What's your system specs?

Cheers

Well, in the description of the video at Youtube I say it all... those stutters were caused by running low on disk space because of huge recording files from fraps were created...

After the disconnection, I had to spend some time copying those files into an external drive before recording again... ;)

In that map it went ar 25 fps while recording, but at 30-40 without recording. :)

Specs:
I7 920 overclocked to 3,33Ghz
6GB RAM DDR3
Geforce GTX275
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits

Oh I see...

Well, I've tried to have a go again (installed steam and CloD), and although we have a similar system, no mater what I do (tweaks), I always have a choppy simulation over land (runs ok on water).

I assume that the only bottlenecks I have in my system are de HDD's and the graphic card... I wonder if changing to SSD's and passing to the green side of the graphic cards would change things that much.

Cheers.

Well, a difference may be that I have two 500 Gb HD installed on parallel RAID (don't remember the name, just did it once), and a 1000W Power Source... All power saving configutations disabled; with them enabled, both CPU and GPU did not raise clock speed to its real possibilities, in much simulators, not only in CoD.

I made a video with out the music so you could hear the sound of the guns.

The video of the guns is the same only with sound.

I made the video with the sound because I wanted to.

Heres a video for ya Wandalen. No music in this video. In good hummer.:grin:

Another entire online flight, this time I left enough disk space to record and I coud do it until landing without the typical stutterings that appears when fraps eats all available disk space. Take into account that tis video was flown at 1920, but rendered at 720HD... even seeing it well on youtube on its max quality, when I fly I have almost three times more visual quality than in the video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I07MurdHr8E

Had to go back because I overrevved the engine by mistake and it all started vibrating, but was able to land before the damage was catastrophical.

Sorry but my comments are in spanish only, I'm not a good english speaker...

Fun video with some sound mods.

Until the CLoD team updates there sounds this is what I will keep in my install of CLoD.

After you had time to hear the Mod sounds I put a back ground song in the vidoe also.:-)

Using FRAPS? - try Afterburner
 

If youre using FRAPS for video capture I recommend you try MSI Afterburner as it has a video capture and screen capture mode built in that doesn't hit frame rate anywhere near the way FRAPS does. Its a game card utility for monitoring and overclocking your card but can be used just in a dumb monitoring way, it will show fps on screen as FRAPS does, its simple to setup and you can change the quality of capture in its setup very easily - and its free! You need the latest Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 3 version in order to capture video, from here:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/-MSI-Aft...load-2718.html

Thanks, but fraps runs ok for me... still can fly at 25 fps :) I prefer to capture at max quality for a better video rendering, even if its ay 720, I do not miss so many quality that in a lower resolution capture. Tested it a lot... sure.

:)

American woman while flying a Spitfire? I'm glad I'm not British, I might be mightily riled up, hahah! :)

Dang, if that video was made with your system, I really can't understand why on mine CloD doesn't' look or run in such a fashion.

Cheers.

Hmmm.... I think I can recognise the familiar number of an ATI card in the signature....

Nice video and flying, the terrain mesh is pretty awful and the map is ridiculous. I'm more or less OK with the Spanish commentary cuz I speak Portuguese. :-P

The quality of some videos and screenshots posted are amazing, It almost seems that my game is a different piece of software. :confused:

Wonderful video :), the game is other with that sound.

The sound is very important in any game, a game is 60% graphics and 40% sounds.

IL2COD needs a big sound package for cockpit instruments, engines, effects ...

Hope it gets sounds upgrade before the US release.

It's a small online map, like the "Online Islands" in 1946. The 1940 Channel map is a completely different thing.

I was aware of that, but even in a PTO scenario that map was going to be utterly ugly. Low quality mesh plus those ugly trees. Come on... Even 1946 does better than that.

I know... But one thing is to have bugs like the 3 lines on the horizon lack of AA (this one makes me crazy) or the flickering shadows, the other is to be unable do fly with an acceptable look and performance.

Like you've said.... Let's wait and see.

I love your engine sounds!
The gun sounds however...
