The guys who think it's the same size in all 3 pics are looking at Beet1e's plane and not even seeing the Spit  :)

Would like to see the full size screenies. From the pics above tho I must say I can "barely" see the Spit in the last pic and not at all in the first two. Don't feel bad Beet... :)

BenDover - here you go - some more pics.

Invisible



Barely visible



Visible through three quarter window




Short extract from film. View this if you want to see what I saw. The beginning bit shows the engine starting (as films do) but that's settled down by the time I get to 600 yards. View it in slow motion.

Watched the video, easirly tracked the spit.

Only time I could see it going about invisible was when you were near dead 6 on it, the spit is a very slim plane direct from the back.

As I said, try making your screen darker.

OOPS!  You're right - my eyes wee immediately drawn to the large plane in the pics - yours!  Looking closer I can't see the Spitty until the last picture - and then it's very difficult to see.  So much for my eyes.... gotta lay off the vicodin I guess! Sorry!:(

LOL Debuman! :lol

BenDover (and Phil McCafferty if he's anywhere nearby) ;) -oh wait - that's Ben Doone's friend. :D

I'm sure you know this already, but for the benefit of the others reading this thread...

...What you see on your monitor when you play my film is not necessarily what I see. The way I understand it, the film viewer files work like .MIDi files. Those work by issuing instructions to the player to play particular notes on designated instruments for specified lengths of time - ie. it's not "recorded sound". The .AHF files (to the best of my knowledge) contain digital data about the position, type and speed of each plane on the terrain, whether guns are being fired etc. They don't contain the stored video images, else they would be much larger. That's what happens when .AHF is converted to .AVI - the actual video images are contained in the file.

So what you're seeing on your end uses the benefit of your system and video card, which is probably better than my ATi Radeon 9600.

The pics have simply been cropped from full size film editor images, ie. not shrunk.

Viewed the film also. Never had that problem. I mean to some extent with camo planes over grass and the blue planes over water but not nearly that bad. In the video I couldn't see it until you were right beside it. :(

Beetle go to the ATI control panel and check if :
Mipmap detail level and Texture preference are set to quality and NOT performance.

Iv' just seen your film and on my PC like your the Spit blend (correct?) in the background between 200 and 400 yard.

But I didn't noticed this kind of problem online so ?
