Spitfire scramble from Hawkinge. Another annotated CoD video by me...

Another little movie from Cliffs of Dover. Flying online this time and scrambling in my Spitfire from Hawkinge. Since the sounds were revamped the engine start-up is even more enjoyable than before. Also the whine of the Bf-109 superchargers as they fly by is just superb. The same cannot be said for my prowess against human opponents, but I'm sure I'll learn, and meanwhile it is lots of fun, even when I'm clobbered! ...

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

Cheers,
Freycinet

hehe, funny, Jenkins ;)

Great one !

Merci

Nice film, damned that warm-up period...

Bully for you old chap! You sure showed that Hun a thing or two

I guess they don't call us the "Twenty Minuters" for Nothing!



Cheers! ;)

Yes, a bit annoying, but realistic I guess!

When I film online I cannot speed the action up as I can offline, and since I just upload my video captures directly and don't pass by an editor there is not much I can do about it...

:D

Hi timej31, nice video, except for the audio which is a bit weird, what with Churchill talking in the background. I kept thinking I had been flying against you and that you wanted to show me the kill from "the other side", but it seems your vid has no connection to mine...?

That is not Churchill talking in the background. But I apologize for the post I thought I was in the COD videos section. I have removed it. It was early in the morning and was still half asleep.

Cheers

No prob! Thought it was a Churchill speech...

Lord 'Haw Haw'??

I would've thought the ground crew would have kept the engines warmed up ready to go.

Yes it would be nice to have a 'warmed up engine' feature like RoF. Good vid though Frey, the 109 sounds so good on external.

Brilliant and your text is so funny.....had me in stitches!

:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

Just can't put my finger on why your vids are so enjoyable.

The sporting touch I guess :)

Jenkins has a permanent bed booked at the base hospital. Looks like he spends more time there than in the air :)

Haha, Freycinet, you should change your nickname to "Overshoot". It's your trade-mark. Great vid, nice to see how the new CloD is coming along so I have something other than Skyrim vids to drool over.

Nice video. I see you were zooming in and out smoothly in cockpit view. How did you do that? I can only set my FoV to smamall/medium/large.

Always enjoy your videos Freycinet, thanks mate. NORTH-East! LOL.

And it seems the mechanics did the warming up back in the real BoB...

I'll get back to you when I'm back on my gaming computer, but it basically involves holding down a joystick button and then zooming in and out with the mouse.

Oh, that's not an option in combat :(
Why don't we have normal zoom in/out buttons?!

Great video, thanks!

Why was all turning red after you were shot in the leg? Blood on your goggles?

MAC

Reflected, well, I actually think it works nice in combat.

Macademic, Yeah, I was hit. I guess it is meant to simulate partial loss of consciousness, or pain, or some such thing...

To reflected and others: to get the smooth zooming in/zooming out, you have to go into:

Control options,
Camera,
And set "Hold to adjust view" to whichever button you prefer (keyboard or joystick)

- If you then hold down that button and move your mouse forward or backward it will change the field of view in a gradual way.

It is an ok option to have, but it would be much better if CoD allowed you to set a "zoom in"-button and a "zoom out"-button, as in - for example - RoF.

nice video again, enjoyable to watch ( btw, what are your system specs and detail settings ?)

has this been requested as a feature for BoB ? when i watch your video's i always skip forward over the initial 30% which has the boring wait time. the extensive waiting times for engine warmups at frontline and forward airbases is just not realistic. its a classic case about trying to be "full real" about something that isnt realistic at all.

should be easy enough for luthier to amend, add an option for "allow pit crews to warm engines in correct historical setting" (ex a complete cold start in some situations might be realistic, eg for bombers/fighters going on an offensive mission from a rear base)

a dedicated thread could attract luthiers attention to it, i am sure it wouldnt be difficult or time consuming to amend

Nice, pretty too.
Ta!
