Sorry about that. After literally thousands of button presses and settings adjustments while making the video's, I go and forget the one that makes them visible at the end of it all. Thanks for letting me know.

The first one is still private...

I hope no-one minds, but I'd like to ask a question.

Could the person who 'disliked' my last video on Youtube please explain what it was about the video they didn't like? I ask this out of genuine curiosity. I'm not offended or looking for an argument about it, people are entitled to their own opinion, and to be honest I find it kind of amusing.

I personally think the video is fairly well made and as a bit of a joke film, it still makes me smile. I understand if people don't get it or if it doesn't appeal to their sense of humour, but I'm just wondering if that's why they 'disliked' it or if it was for some other reason. Perhaps they just don't like the game, or certain kinds of video's in general, I don't know.

I've noticed some of my video's in the past have gotten a single 'dislike', and the timing of it suggested it was from someone who reads this thread. So, if you're reading this, would it be too much to ask you to explain why you did that?

Again, I'm not asking this because I've been offended or upset, random feedback on the internet isn't something I take personally. I like to think there are others out there who enjoy my video's, but, positive or negative, I'd be crazy to let myself be influenced too much by what other people think of the video's I myself enjoy watching and making.

I hope the fact that I've taken the time to ask the question doesn't give the impression I'm dwelling on it or bothered by it. I'm just asking it in passing. It's like having someone express displeasure about something, anything, when in my presence. I'll usually ask them to elaborate on what it is they find so offensive or dislikeable about it, whether I agree with them or not, just to get a better understanding of how others see things and to gain a broader perspective on the subject.

I understand too if people prefer anonymity and don't want to speak up, or if they can't explain their dislike in greater detail. Just thought I'd ask anyway.

Edit - Responding to pupo162's reply here instead of messing up the thread.

It's as clear as mud to me. By giving the video a thumbs down, without adding an explanatory comment, are they saying they think there's something wrong with it, or that they're just not interested in it, or what? Without further details, I have no idea what their 'Dislike' actually means. For me, giving a video a thumbs down would be a way of saying I actually disapprove of the video and have a problem with it. Whereas I suspect other people do it, among other reasons, just as a way of saying 'Meh' or 'Whatever' or 'Not really into that'. So, what's the case here, is all I was wondering. The question probably wasn't even worth asking, but my curiosity got the better of me and I thought I'd give it a shot. And as a punsihment I've now spent more time writng all this than I usually would have spent wondering why someone gave my video a thumbs down. Such is life.

It looks like the whole bug is balanced between both sides, I mean Hurri looks to fly winglessly as efficiently as your 109. (see attached file)

Loaded up the Full Mission Builder, had FRAPS running, and ended up with this.

Probably had more fun making it than anyone will watching it, but you get the idea. It doesn't look anything like the thumbnail image btw, not sure what Youtube's doing with that.

Oh, and it's got some dark shots, which might not be that clear if viewed in a brightly lit room. I didn't lighten them up as I thought that looked worse than being too dark. They're more visible when watched fullscreen or expanded on Youtube.
