Heres a small video from a head cam in a light plane doing aerobatics

Hand held/head mounted cameras always exaggerate the amount of shaking. I've tried simple mounts on the wing strut and landing gear and it's always a struggle to get steady footage. Hand held cameras aren't much better unless the cameraman is very good at damping the little bumps felt while flying but not necessary 'seen'. The lens in this video isn't very wide angle which helps. Just yesterday I was out flying (ultralight) with a friend who was shooting video from the right seat and while editing that video I had to junk pretty much every clip where he tried to zoom even a little. Even at the widest angle the video was shaky at times. The amount of shake in the video was NOTHING like I experienced while flying. So I don't think that camera footage can be used to determine the amount of shake we should see in flight sims.

I think you will find that was a quote i made to my mate Feurfalke, I said I would eat his shorts if SOW came out in 2009, my prediction was March 2010 (which I was flamed for I may add). Feurfalke generously offered to donate a pair of his 'smalls' on the proviso that I filmed the event for youtube. Fortunatley, Oleg decided to hold back the release after it was revealed that Feurfalke only had two pair of pants to his name, one pair having a print of Oleg's face on the back.
Obviously my prediction was still way off, but i may add that I still think we will be very lucky to see the game this year although I truly hope I am wrong, there is clearly a lot of work to do, but the video although leaked was a massive boost.

You upset people because you play "games" (here on the forum) when your bored...

You upset people because, not everyone has the same sense of humor as you do...

Some people have trouble listening to your "serious observations" because they just spent 5 minutes reading a thread of you "taking the piss" out of a topic and/or a forum member (did i use that English colloquial saying correct?) (did i spell colloquial correct_lol)...

The human head, spine and soft parts makes for a pretty good damper of vibrations and acceleration. There's a certain delay involved, and a lot of damping. I've even heard from someone with some credentials that there's a formula for calculating it.

The worst has to be unanticipated motion. You (subconciously) apply this and that much pull on this and that neck muscle, in order to keep the head straight and level for the current condition. Then an unexpected change, maybe the plane moves down 5cm abruptly due to thatairconditionIonlyknowthenameinswedish, which is like falling on your ass 5cm. That will make you pitch your head up at first and then down as you suddenly come to a stop.

But man, that video looked so awesome. So it's not sanctioned? But it looked so good, it could only do good for hyping the game and goodwill. I love it. Bf 110 C-4, Ju 88 and Ju 87 will be supremely immersively fun!

---

Will you people please take your off-topic arguing about who said what about release dates, eating shorts, how one acts bla bla somewhere else? I don't come into these topics wanting to filter through those things. Just try to keep to the topic of the latest media rather than who said what about vaporvare, attitudes blah blah.

Indeed

Think more of us need to sign of on this post

P.S. Luthier i can understand why u and Oleg wanted to tweak a video some more before showing, some people on theese boards are so unforgiving its not even funny anymore.

Keep up the good work and keep em comming. (Dont forget to look left and right next time u take the Bf109 up for a spin )
