Added 3 files in the past week. Sorry for the "quality", Murphies Law is I never have the film on when the really good stuff happens. Particularly I started a fight with a 109 and P38 1000yds on my 6 today, and won, but no film =(. Ill try to catch the ones I shouldnt win, but do.
Running short on RAM and disk space, so I dont run film full time.

Murdr's Head Positions (added for a new player)

Heya ack ack,

I have been trying to access the links to some of your films & it
keeps taking me to a website...HispanicVista.com.
I then try to get them from the 479th website & when unzipped
& put in ah2 film file I get an error that says old format.

I must be doing something wrong

AKAK's films are housed on another server, so I cant help with that.
There is one film on the site that is an AH1 film "not rusty", the rest should play fine. If not, email me with the files your having trouble opening, and I will check it out, and take care of it.

Murder, a couple of links are wrong in your post above. This Link will get to the Cappin.zip, and This link will get you to the film45.ahf.

I didn't check the head position link. Thanks for the films!

Thx Murdr.

I don't have AHI anymore after reformatting so that must be the prob with the not rusty film.
I have had the same error with other zip files though(AH) When I get time I'll check my vids & see which other ones I can't play as well. Maybe they're AHI films too.

Umm, yes you are correct that those are the direct links to the files.

Took a look, and fixed the typo's I had programed on the squad site.

To clearify though, the links posted here in this thread are not wrong. My links takes you to the description page for a film. You can download from that page with the Download this film now! link. Not everyone has broadband, so I would rather let someone read the description and file size, and decide for themselves if it is worth the effort.

Not only that but if I link through the squad site I can monitor traffic. For instance, this thread has generated 176 referals just from anonamys bbs users, and bsmart.zip has been downloaded 223 times.

At any rate its fixed

Agreed, I'm sorry I put the dirrect link. The 479th page was were I was having the trouble, and by guessing at an address I found the right URL. I did hit the "report broken link" on both pages.... the film45 one last week I think it was.

either way, I'm glad there fixed, and more importantly, I'm glad I got them

Thanks again for the films, and all the work ya do on that site!

2 New Training articles added to the 479th Library

Thx Murdr and AKAK for the great films! Maybe when I start to really get the hang of ACM, throttle management, ect I could get some lessons in the 38? About the only thing I fly now is the spit b/c thats what I started in and am still learning but would like to move to another aircraft eventually. Like you mentioned in one of your film post, I really like how the 38 can preform multiple roles as the situation requires. Anywho, keep the great films coming

Murdr · « **Reply #25 on:** March 15, 2005, 08:02:03 PM »

Added bingofun film.

I have not been able to get the links to AKAK's films to work. They take me to some odd site I can't remember the name of off hand.

Ack-Ack · « **Reply #27 on:** March 16, 2005, 06:09:06 PM »

I have to change the links but unfortunately, these last few months I've had little time to do it. I'll try to get them back up by the end of the week.

ack-ack

I usually keep my throttle full in a zoom when I'm roping the other player until I go over the top. Depending on the closure rate of the other plane, I'll either chop my throttle going over the top of my zoom so I don't accelerate too quickly coming down. I'll usually do it when I see that the player still has some energy, so I kind of "float" down and give him a chance to burn more E and rope him. If there are multiple bogies in the area, I'll keep my throttle open so I can build as much E as possible coming down from my zoom to maintain my energy advantage.

If I see them setting up to HO when I come back down, Ill close the throttles as soon as my nose starts to fall. They continue to look for me to come screaming back down into a HO, but instead I just hang there a few seconds till their nose drops.
