I have found that in the process from taking captures to YouTube publishing, a lot of the original brightness (or gamma) seems to disappear. The effect seems to be worse when looking at a dark background (such as the sea). In my videos I increase brightness slightly during editing to help cancel this out.

The part of the video from about 1:30 to 1:45 is well done. The camera shake and how the German plane moves in and out of the camera view is very realistic.
Hi RAAF_Stupot
Thanks M8 ,I use Pixelan correction pack for desaturaion and contrast and you are right about colour being too vivid in video capture but you dont realise the this until the movie has been uploaded.
I will try your inrease brightness tip and also desaturate more, as your aware
the colours in il-2 are very vivid anyway so with a little tweaking and some trial and error hopefully I will find the right balance.
Thanks again
Keith
