double quoted video.....bingooooooooo

@ontopic
nice video (yes, the last three one)

Ok, back from the holidays, and I have been at it again...

http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwDOTda.../1/wZLZiYGiCds

This time I recorded as I played (and not from a track recording) so this is exacly how I saw it. Except, of course, for the much lower video and audio quality that you get when you youtubeify your recording. The original avi-file is 14 gigs! Anyway, it still looks quite good in full-screen and at 1080p I think.

I put some turbulence into the mission. Makes for more fun and realistic gunnery, and landings are a bit more of a handful as well.

As Fearless_Frog said somewhere, attacking any plane from dead six is really not the best solution. That might be, but that's all I manage so far, so that's what you get!

Hope you like, comments very welcome! - Especially on my woeful engine management... - Any better way to get some more oomph out of the DaimlerBenz'es?

Very impressive vid Freycinet thanks for sharing with us.

I understand that when you bail out, you only see it from First person viewpoint. What would a nearby wingman (or other flyer/player) see from their point of view? Is it possible to make a short video of such a 3rd person view of a pilot bailing out?? I mean, exiting the cockpit, jumping before the chute deploys?

When you see someone else bail out you just see them suddenly spawn in free-fall mode outside their plane. The developers pulled the more detailed bail-out animation, where you actually see the pilot crawling stepping out of the cock-pit, as they considered it too resource-intensive.

Thanks for the info and clip. Too bad about the pull back by the developers, but it's just a small matter on the grand scale of things.
