I have been thinking about what I said in this post:
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=149841I would really like to see this put in place,
The way I see it working is like this:
- There would be a buffer running on our HDD's that records continuously.
- When you fire it copies the 10 seconds of footage from before and after you pulled the trigger a Gun camera folder in our AH folders.
- The file would be called GC dd-mm-hh-mm.ahf (ie GC-25-06-22:05.ahf)
- To allow AH to delete the old buffer file, it could start a new buffer file once it has saved the 20 seconds of footage.
- If you fire before the post shot 10 seconds is up then it could just keep adding to the saved file until 10 seconds has passed from the last shot you took.
- AH would then create a new buffer file and delete the old one
Drop camera:
This idea could be applied to bombers and C47's, It would run as above but have a longer running time, say 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after you dropped your ord.
Kill Camera:
The same could be applied to when you get hit. Start 5 seconds before the first hit occurred and stop 5 seconds after the last round hit.
Of course it all sounds simple when you look at like the above, but you would have to look at things like: the additional load on a users PC / HDD, the actual work that would be required to modify AH to do this and then the testing and bug hunting once it was implemented and I am sure that the guys and gals at HTC are busy with other things like the Savis network problems, updates ("cough" TOD) and the countless requests to perk the LA ("cough" unperk the 1C ). So I don't think that they could look at a change like this any time in the soon, but it would be cool to see it in the future.
