That is what I also tought...Until real pilots wrote on this forum that they did not experienced that effect while firiing guns from their planes... ...And Oleg also stated thet after many reaserch and interviews, WW2 pilots did not see the squiggles...But I will agree with you that maybe a very tiny squiggle f/x could also be correct for WW2 planes since the pilot did not have that much of a "suspension" underneath his seat...SO can we really extrapolate that today's planes weapons recoil have less effect on pilots ? Maybe...
But this is all the info we have here....for now..

Salute !

Squiggles happen because the gun cam's recorded fps is probably ~24fps. That means shutter time of 41ms. Your eyes have much better reaction time depending on light settings. I can't cite, but I recall that our eyes can detect up to ~200fps. That's right around 5ms.

Greater shutter time = longer squiggles.

Added to which is the fact that you can neither take screenshots nor make films using an eyeball.

Oh God, it's tracers again.

Haha! Me too ! And I was the one who ended the subject in the other thread with "final" conclusions!
You know what ? Well, until something very very exciting and new happens here, we are subject to this kind of " beatin'thedeadHorsekindadiscussion"....

Salute !

From what I hear, a great improvement on Il2 will be the music. The silly marches of Sturmovik are gone!

You hear? where do you get that information?

The only reason we are hearing music in video releases is the sound packs aren't being used.

I hope that they keep the good music after all. And why do you think that that is the only reason?

Good music is expensive, but it adds a lot to the atmosphere of a game.

Maybe I'm the only one out here in cyberspace who feels this way but .... I actually LIKE those marches and the movie music!

They used to get stuck in my head, and I would spend ages wondering where they came from, never realising it was good ol' il2. I liked that music, for the first 10,000 plays
