Manston under attack! - new youtube vid by me (best seen in 1080p and full-screen)
 

Ok, here's a new video. A bit shorter than usual, but I'm sure you don't mind that...

I get to practice a quick take-off, but not voluntarily. Damn' Jerries are attacking Manston again, which leads to some rather spectacular pyrotechnics, especially when you watch them from close up on the runway. Not very proud of my flying, but at least I bring down a Messerschmitt at the end! ;)

Anyway, enjoy. Comments always very welcome!

Superb mate.

If that doesn't sell the game to the sceptics I don't know what will. :)

Well, there was that glitch with the sign on the runway which ruined the whole video, didn't you see that?... ;)

Yeah, I saw it. A minor issue!

Looking around at the explosions on the runway more than made up for it!

Brilliant video, those explosions were awesome! (they'd be even more awesome if the smoke lingered for longer...)

Frey, did you have the land-shading turned down? The terrain didn't seem as crisp as in your previous videos. Still very good though!

Yeah...terrible that...didn't bother watching the rest of the video...;)

...great stuff as usual!

:grin:

wow

:cool:

Well that last bit was certainly interesting, a 2500 kg Spit hitting the deck with about 200 kmh and ending in such good shape, you would have thought the spit cracks in half and disappear in a ball of fire.:rolleyes:

Excellent video though, I enjoyed it.

Very nicely done. The landscape looks very natural and balanced. Good action, I caught you going thru the runway marker sign but that is no biggie for me. Never had the mirror in and out myself. Cannot wait for the game to get patched up to a point where it makes sense for me to get a new system.

LOL in the 1946 there's no way you could have survived the crash. did u see how high you came in and you had lots of vertical speed. i don't understand why you didn't explode. must be the ill-optimized game engine.

Another very cool vid Frey, nice one.

Nice video.

I smiled when I saw you chasing your shadow at one point. Who of us has not done that? :)

T.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing !

Please post your system specs, too (I see many trees... :) )

~S~

Ah yes, Il-2 1946, the paragon of realism... :)

I think that the crash is just right. My speed was down, I had flaps out, the undercarriage would have taken part of the impact, I slide for a good while and lose the whole starboard wing...

Anyway, thanks for so much appreciating the vid I made for you...

Well spotted. I turned it down for my London video, to make the sim run better, and forgot to turn it back up again... - Also this was just the stock airfield attack mission that comes with CoD, and they choose the flat middle-of-the-day light which doesn't do the look of the sim any favours...

Tree collisions don't exist either , for Ai or player.

Nice video but the Cabrio (Spit) is much nicer:-P

AFAIK, Spit pilots didn't usually fly combat with the hood open, as opposed to Hurri pilots. Or what did you mean?

Thank you! Fantastic video as always!! Never really get over to Manston much I seem to always lurk more around London :) but it is indeed on my to see list now!

I really enjoyed your Video. You have the balance between humour, drama and visuals spot on! Those bombs going off in the background....wow!

Always lurking around London? Why, how come? I thought almost all the combat in this sim was over the Channel...

Thanks for your comments guys! - It is mostly because of such nice comments that I make these vids...

:mad:You are correct I just love sightseeing London. But I am going to head over to Manston tonight and check it out when I get home. Unfortunately I am @ work today.

Working in the weekend? - What an abomination! :)
