Thanks again very much to all.

Thanks also Foo'bar you tips, i fixet also this clerical error later my Vimeo testing videos* and orginal video version credits. (* Vimeo HD conversion quality testing - differently Sony Vegas HD video/audio rendering settings → What is really best full HD settings and video formats for Vimeo (also 720p)? I personally do not full trust anymore Vimeo general recommendations this area, because they clearly do not always apply in all cases.

It would be interesting to read also more IL-2 series fans criticism comments, example does that sound like the radio speech the CloD simfilm in certain scenes correctly (British and German views, I ask)? So does that radio voice acting like they are in a short film some scenes possibly from the wrong?

I use mainly this CloD machinima simfilm radio voice actings new beta patch version radio voice actors sounds files and in a few scenes, i use also radio speech sound mods files (IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 – maybe Holy Grail productions, i not sure? But anyway big thanks also this authors) and only in one scene, I used the Battle of Britain (1969) movie voices (German He-111 bomber pilot asks; ”Where is the Royal Air Force?”).

Actual story scenes from the short film I will not change anymore orginal video, some scenes are intentionally keep fictional.

Thanks DoolittleRaider and good, i watch later also youtube area - what should I do with this yet (full HD quality in web flashplayers - The easiest way would be to upload the original video for some upload to a website for public download).

I think that http://www.megaupload.com/ has worked well for me in the past for large files.

Ok, i upload orginal simfilm there or other place, i send you download link when this job is finish (orginal video size is about 740Mb).

The “Battle of Britain Day-The Blitz” movie produced by “Barfly/Jokerxx” has been selected for showcasing at the Flight Sim Movies website where the Best of the Best FlightSim movies are presented and celebrated.

Congratulations once again, Barfly!!!

This is Barfly's fifth "Battle of Britain" movie recognized and placed at FSM, and this is the third using COD. Only one other movie using Cliffs of Dover has been accepted for showcasing at FSM.

starting to look like Varfly personnal gallery. congrats to both, awsome channel made by awsome movies!

Thanks a lot again centelemens

Here you can download the BoB Day – The Blitz orginal simfilm version (little fixed). If you want to watch also this even better full HD quality and without web flashplayer jerking. Sounds are not all film scene parts still in place, whole a relatively satisfactory level, however.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DFLHEUKP

Video file size: 748Mb
Video format: MP4

And remember, this must be watch also the big HD screen – No mobile screen. ;)

Hi JokkerFX. Thanks for sharing such well-made video's.

If you don't mind, could you tell me/us which codec and settings you use to export your video footage out of the game? Is it one of the default ones that comes installed with the game (most of which don't work well or at all) or one you've added later? I usually use FRAPS to capture the video, but would like to know if there's a better way of using the game to export AVI's than what I've seen so far. Thanks.

Thanks Les, I use this codec in CloD video records.

x264vfm – H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec (read also this site all info)

http://komisar.gin.by/index.html

I have just discovered that best the CloD video capture quality is obtained when using the ”uncompressed” video record setting (Track player feature ”game replay” / video record), but at least in my case, finish CloD video record shots must yet then still coverted Sony Vegas video editing software to fit the format. I use for this area Total Video Converter software and also VirtualDub (Also others video conversion softwares may be better alternatives).

http://www.effectmatrix.com/total-video-converter/

http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

FRAPS software I've written a few words here

http://vimeo.com/29912068

And Sony Vegas video editing and rendering areas i use x264 / AVC method, timej31 send to me two days ago a good tutorial video link, so watch also this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWMX5lSvEgY

But bitrate a recommendation i have a slightly different view, so when the full HD video contains several clips and may take several minutes or more, this setting is also important for the quality of the finished video sounds, so perhaps in this case, the Sony Vegas / AVC bitrate setting it must be higher than 10Mbs (< 12-16Mbs). But i must yet testing more this area (BoB Day – The Blitz is now also good testing video in this case).

Maybe i must be make also tutorial video in Vimeo ”How use CloD Track player and video record features + Sony Vegas”, but i say again, maybe (the culprit is the time). Anyway, Clod replay features is yet little bugs, hope also that fixed near future (sometimes some objects and visual effects is invisible in Tracks (Gameplay replay tracks – Example in my case, when i making that BoB Day video i use also London environment (mission editor) british balloons objects, but they is in invisible in my gameplay replays).

I hope this message has something to help


- Barfly

Thanks for the info Barfly.

I already have a version of the x264 codec installed from another source and haven't been able to get it to work when selecting it from the drop-down list in game. I did test it out recently though by converting a FRAPS AVI to MP4 and the resultant file size and image quality were very good. I might try that version you linked to and see if that works.

As you say, the Uncompressed setting looks best. If it comes down to it I can just use that and compress/convert the (huge) files later, in order to make them easier to edit with. As it is, I'll probably still use FRAPS most of the time in order to avoid the replay system bugs you mentioned, but it's good to know if I need the extra frame-rates the export AVI option is there.

any new videos of beta patch 2? really interested in the newly tuned sounds. :)

any 109 vids coming? :P

Stunning!! :)

O - M - Fn -G !!!, that's incrediable!

WE users need to use this video to promo COD EVERYWHERE!!! .. especially at inappropriate moments! email it to friends and enemies .. twitter it .. facebook it! etc etc .. well that's my plan as soon as I find a source that doesn't need downloading and unarcing. Vimeo isn't good enough if you cannot run it in properly with one click. Good if there was a YouTube link .

This is a good time to promo COD as the game is alot more stable now.



Well done!

I don't think so because of the humans wich are not ingame but have been overlayed. Using such manipulated video would be as dishonest as using one of the early promotion videos by UBI/Softclub with false sounds. Such a manupulated promotion video just would raise false expectations

Agreed with this particular film BUT they could ask these guys to make one with ingame footage.

For the first one minute of this movie, I thought it looked as real as anything I have ever seen in a simulation.

Well done,

binky9

Even that never will gonna be happen.

looks nearly perfect, only the green it looks like crayon green.


but hte sounds ... oh dear.. .so much structural whinning... not that ive flown a tiger month, but im preatty sure no metal snapping and twisting would sound lauder than a engine...

What's that tie fighter sound that one hears most of the time in the tiger moth clip?

The FSM website provides a youtube link for the movie.

Fantastic! When I see a film of this quality it just makes me want to fly this sim again. Really though, WOW!

hmmm when I play that Youtube video the sound is weird and double? i hope other viewers don't have that problem.

.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-w0MigtRUs

My first vid only 480 :(, tell me what you think.

No problem for me with sound with either the embedded Video at FSM, nor at Youtube itself.

Ah,that song man!
It brings back memories.................

New video, this time I decided to dabble in some light editing.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Schlange.../0/vKh12PuYRFw

great video
for a moment i though that was the E1 because of the black front panel
damn very very very very high contrast
thanks Krupi for sharing

[youtube]M_G-ahOMhCA[/youtube]

Better performance with beta patch 2. Now i can use mirror without big FPS hit.

Good video's JG52Krupi, nice to see aspects of the game that don't often get a lot of attention (dive/skip bombing, ships etc.)

I thought the editing on the second one was bit unusual, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I find it interesting to see the different ways people choose to show the action. Good quality render too, watched it on full screen and didn't find the compression artifacts distracting.

Thanks dude, tbh that was my first ever attempt at editing a video and I had to do that because the damn freezes fraps caused when making the video. I using fraps and a pre-recorded track.

P.S. I also had that annoying bug that puts an extra set of crosses and that weird bomber symbol when playing a track...:(

Nice vid Krupi! I like the bell that rings after the blast! It´s like:
"from whom the bell tolls!" :evil:

Other "benchmark" video, recorded "on the fly" with FRAPS:

I like the german bomber crew toasted inside flaming cockpit!

hey mate how did you get this zoom in out in the cockpit
i like it

Just thought I'd move this here as the mods haven't.

Landscape comparison at various times of day using latest Beta patch.

very good video.... how i wish my COD runned this good..... how i wish COD runned at all

Upgrade your hardware. With the rig in your sign, it´s the only way. My tips:

1) You need more RAM, and DDR3. Somthing like +6GB;

2) Maybe other multicore CPU. I have one cheap Phenom X4, but with nice 3.4GHz. And this CPU do the trick running CloD ok;

3) Faster VGA.

I agree - a fantastic video! This sim is really starting to look so life-like!!

im sorry, but im not wasting 800 euros on a pc for 1 game. i will wait at least till the first Air Wars, USL, and i start to see more than 100 persons online on a daily basis, for that.

Thank you for the video! I think the landscape colours are very good now, particularly at noon.

It's not for one game. With this upgrade even modded IL-2 1946 will run MUCH better! :-P

It's not waste of money, it's investiment.

Yeah at noon the green zones on north-Africa looks like the same. They just need to put some camels on top the hills.

Make we wonder what has happened to the cows we use to hve on airfields ?

Patch Beta 2, v15866 109 Airfield Attack Test (1080p)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcPQYIQbhj8

Colors and sounds greatly improved and sun flare perfect now. Impressive...Nicely done

Nice Video. It also helped confirm that the engine sound during Throttling/RPM change does not have much variation or/and the engine rev sound is very low. I cannot destinguish between running the Daimler at 2400 rpm and overrevving at 2900 rpm.
Am I perceiving it correctly?

il2 1946 runs with 70+ fps. so im not worried about that one.

Also investing in the PC world is not worth it. wait 6 months you will get better and cheaper.

when Clod its the snow ill upgrade it: those are my expectations.

Thanks. In the video when I am diving, the throttle is next to zero and the 109 even sputters/chugs when I pull out of the dive. (edited out) I doubt you'd be able to tell much from this video. So it doesn't seem like you're perceiving correctly, no.

Then it is good. The problem must be on my end. Better like that.
Just confirm with me at your first opportunity the sound on overreving as opposed to running your Bf 109 engine at 2400rpm. Can you here the difference without looking at your tachometer?

Thanks Cheesehawk. I will look into my problem. If you don't mind me asking what kind of sound gear are you using?

Yeah, not just for COD, newer games will require an upgrade, and don't believe the hype that the desktop / laptop is dead! tablets might be convenient but they're also seriously underpowered .. under everything actually! It'll take 5+ years before tablets get current laptop powers! IMHO

.

The overwhelming market is mobile and tablet computing. Games for PC's are becoming much more niche cultures now.

No not dead. But businesses are adopting more mobile devices now over the usual desktop. Mobile computing offers so much more to a foot soldier that travels a lot. From everyday business person to your latte yuppie. There is a new tablet out that cost $35 now. hehe I'll use these for a stocking stuffer next Christmas. :)

Isn't this a Cod videos thread. Not chit chat.:confused:

Yes! More vids!

[youtube]BS8lEsn8PW0[/youtube]

With new patches we can really start to raise the bar in benchmark videos... Low level fight over London, multiple aircrafts, with good visuals and performance!

NOW i'm REALLY happy! :-P

cool....what bothers me is that I cant run this map (with all video settings set to high; or most of them) with such performance...and Ive got i7920@3.5Ghz, GTX470@750Mhz 1280MB, and 6GB RAM...res is 1680x1050.
grrr

Why fight for an abandoned city...........some life in the cities would be nice,be it just cars and busses........

Nice videos!

I wonder if, for the sake of immersion, you could sometime make a video without any outside views or zoom, entirely from pilot's perspective?

Thanks!

MAC

Tvrdi, we need to lower some settings that don't impact so much in visuals but do wonders in performance! I set Building Detail to "Very Low", Forest to "Low", when recording over London with FRAPS Textures to "High", no grass, Effects and Decals to "Medium"... The sims looks great with these settings and I gain precious FPS!

lol.. I bet you finished that landing with the word 'bugger!'..
I assume you don't have realistic gunnery on, you seemed to have shed loads of ammo..

its not the plane...its the plane and pilot...haha...you should be able to run this scene at 30-35 fps no problem. Update the following and you should be just fine.

Update to latest nvidia beta driver and CloD beta patch, set ground textures to high vs. original, make sure epilepsy off, 2x AA and use the fxaa fix

Also, might be time for some more Ram in the near future..cheap

Nice vid

I keep hearing 'get more ram'.. now am I right in thinking that win7 64bit with the current exe can only use a maximum of 3gb of ram?
If this is correct, he seems to have more than enough memory to run the game. I'm not a techie, so you will have to bear with me if my assumptions are incorrect.. lol

More or less I have the same settings as lebisomem....just I have decals to high and houses to med, 2 AA, no FXAA, epilepsy off, textures high...so I will try to lower houses and decals....trees are off....also I have latest nvidia beta drivers.....it seams we all have different standards (regarding performance)....smooth is for me not only 40+ fps but how sim performs in terms of microstutters, FPS variations, how fluid are head movements etc...and its not the same online and offline....online you can have 50 players and 15 planes in dogfight over city

I don't know, you are probably correct. I just threw that in. I hope he does the rest of the stuff and doesn't focus/get hung up on that statement

You should have no problems with trees on medium and unlimited houses. (I wouldnt fly anything less) I have the same standards as you, but I don't play on line yet. Anyway, PM me and I'll try to help you out if I can through messaging. I bet we can get it working great

That's why I make videos recorded with FRAPS during actual gameplay. Without FRAPS perfromance is even better, and now - with latest patches - I don't have anoying stutters even over London in dogfights. But during online matches, if AI or player aircraft spawn, we have some server stutter. Needs more work. SP is really ok now, regards graphic engine. This was my great fear about performance, and MG is doing a good job.

Great video, always fun watching yourself from someone else's perspective; even if I was on the losing end of that skirmish.

Here is a little scenic flight I took in the Hurricane

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioEP_NNveOE

Lol flying with canopy open :rolleyes: go figure ...

Thank you for the video! The scenery colours are really starting to look good!

They really aren't. They look washed out, pale, and completely wrong in colour; there should be a notable contrast in the forest regions. Far from how England actually looks. The last Beta looked miles better.

Why post videos with music. I can t watch it in my country, sad.

+1

Seems like there will NEVER be a concensus on this forum...Look at all the poles !
So Luthier is better off doing the game as HE thinks is best and forget about community's feedback....And for the moment, even at this unfinished level of developpement, no other flightsim looks as good as COD...Right ? ;) Cause this is what everyone on this forum says....

SAlute!

+1!

Still I don't like those colors ;)

No, not right! It s a forum where we can speak out our opinions and we are the users who paid for the game. I m not saying the game is crap, it has the most potential i have ever seen in an air combatsim. Even luthier sayd "know exectly what the comunity wants". I liked the terraincolors of the betapatch bevor this one. I also know that it is impossible to get everyone sattisfied, but like i said it s a "forum", where we can tell the developteam what we like and not.
Just my 2 cents

Of course we can speak out our opinions...But..If you were Luthier , at this very moment, what would you do for the next patch regarding terrain colors and cockpit interior based on all the " opinions" expressed on this forum since last release of Beta patch ? Could you draw the line between everyone wishes and what is best for the game ? How would you define what is the priority ?
Radio chat ? SLI ? Stutters ? Reflections ? More planes ? and so on...
At this point, too many " opinions" to even think about being able to keep track...So it is more and more useless to compile opinions since there is absolutely no concensus about anything concerning changes done in those two last patches. It is all Luthier's game now...

Salute !

I take it you're from Germany? You got to talk to your government to get those bans lifted. That is what happened here in the U.S. We finally got most of our music bans lifted from youtube

It is pretty easy to sift between the opinions mate. Regarding the terrain, most of the complainers come from Blighty! They live in the darned country! I can't see what is so difficult about understanding that. People who have never flown over England, or who have an opinion based solely around what people have told them, will always have a warped view. Discount those people, focus on those who are experienced and have posted tangible information, supported by pictures or research, and the answer is pretty clear. Polls, in this instance, are completely pointless.

Just my 2P.

Yes, but from day 1 there have been bigger issues with this sim.
Frankly I cannot understand why so much effort has been dedicated to colors.

I think you are saying good points, kalimba. I m happy not to be in luthiers possition, believe me! Like i said before, it will never be possible to sattisfied everybody in this world.
If i was him i would try to listening to the people who live in Britain, like philip.ed is saiying about them complaining, or follow the polls and try to make something in between, to get as much as users a little bit happy. Maybie i m naiv and think that it is so easy to do..

Word up

Yeah of course.... and if we let that kind of guys speak in our names we will have to study (kirky) rocket sciences to fly their Spity (but will they solely allow us to clim on the cockpit ?) and dozen of 109 will vanish of the sky just by the blink of their clear blue eyes.

Jajaja... Freedom of speach they said ?

By the way, hving been up there I still maintain that noon over England does not look like a Nrth African country.

Just my 2 cents

Yeah I will be better go back to work on my red haired handlebars mustache btw two cup of tea, isn't it ? :rolleyes:

You may be right...But living in England and flying over England could be two very different things...;) Color and tone perception from 1000m above inside a cockpit with plexiglass and reflexions must be altered in some ways...
I have seen videos on Youtube with almost identical terrain as in COD...And some with very very different colors and tone...SO wich one is the reference ?

Salute !

I'm struggling to translate this, but yes, i am all for freedom of speech, but there is usually a good indication as to whose view is right (in this case more correct) and whose view is wrong. it's never black and white, but we can always choose a shade of grey. In this case, black is an option.

EDIT: Kalimba, I agree buddy! You're right. i usually assume most people who live here have flown over England, and thus have a 'fairly' good idea (more so than most, I'd wager...) But having flown over England a number of times, Beta 1 was far more realistic.

Well then Philip, I'll take your word for it ! ;)
Maybe one the issues here is that " realistic" doesn't look ( read "as in the movies" ) as good as Luthier's version ...:rolleyes:
Sun glare, reflexions, tracers,etc, are also among those debatable subjects ...real less likable than fiction...:cool:

Salute !

Shld we switch to Fench now ? :rolleyes:

Beta 1 was better. You're right

Test with new patch!
