Dedalos flying the Lavochkin La-7
« on: April 07, 2011, 03:13:09 PM »
Here is a short video on some of Dedalos' fine La-7 flying. 3vs1 and 2vs1 situations. If everyone flew the La7 like this it would not have a bad name.

Don't forget to change the video into 720p High Definition in the bottom right of the screen.
Turn the sound up.
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks to Dedalos for providing some excellent flying.

Uh, Greekboy is one of the finest. Especially his "I'll fight no matter what" attitude.

Nice film making skills too, Bat.

Honest Viewer Opinion(I'm no expert, LOL):

Editing 7/10 (personally got kind of motion sick from the choppy views)

Music 5/10 ehh just didn't seem to fit the film imo but that's all subjective I suppose

flying/kills 9/10  :cool:

Overall 7/10  :aok

Thanks for comments guys.
Thanks for the good crits Messi. I agree with you on all parts except the flying, thats 10/10  :D
I wish the AH film viewer would let me use mouse-look from in the cockpit and external views. Currently I am stuck using arrow keys, it's tough to make it smooth.
The music is nostalgic for me, it's from one of the very best flight sims from about 15 years ago, TFX.

i was most impressed with his gunnery.  :joystick:

some of the filming looked real nice when the sun lit up the planes.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I loved TFX.... Too bad it wouldn't run on later systems, even with slow-down programs....

Oooo beautiful Batfinkv, great flying Ded.  I got pretty dizzy half way through the film but it really captured the intensity of a dogfight and got you thinking like the pilot.  Nice touch.   :aok

I couldn't help but like the song too.   :D

Really nice video  :rock 

Good flying  :salute

And I did like music, as you said.. nostalgic  :old:

I really did like those "shaking" effects what you have added in cockpit view.
And yes it's really annoying to not have mouselook/TracIR support in filmviewer, would make a lot easier to get smoother head movements.
There are some ways to do it with tools that AH film viewer offer, but it's tricky and slow way to do it.
