Ive brought this subject up many times and I have also seen many others bring it up as well....

I would like to have an option (in game) to name and date (auto date) the films and screen shots after u take them or after flight...

YES.... or

NO....

Let the community decide,

and if majority does say yes, which i think they will, please HTC add this option to your list of to do's?

SO WHAT DOES AH COMMUNITY THINK>>>>>>>>

If you open up the films folder in the Ah directory, and then click on view, list, - then "details" - you will see that there is a time / date stamp applied.

I absolutely loved this feature in Air Warrior. I find that I record a lot of films and it is a very great task to sort through them all and rename them. To just jot down a little 'blurb' about the film for instance "262overbish5kill" and have that be the film title would be just wonderful. Sure beats film 1-200 with the buggy film viewer and its vox-locks.

thanks waffle however it would be nice to name it, and having to leave the game each time is not that fun ....

nope..I vote NO

well not in your way

This is the problem,
I dont make only 1 film per sortie..as I usually kill multiple bish-rook scum per sortie...I frequently stop film..and restart..So this way im making 7+ films in 1 flight. I do this becuase editing films already sucks..and why film dead air?

It would be great to have the option when you land to save films with custom names from the tower.....

BUT...we pretty much can now..

1) I have the Films folder "Shortcutted"....to my desk top

2)Alt+Tab..minimize Ah....

3)click films..

4)clik on most recent films by looking at date & time...

5)I then right clik film..and name it ..."another seal wacking"

5 easy steps

how and when would you want to customize the names?...becuase you do not say

leaving the game?..you can still be flying while AH is minimized on your desk top

Be great cept if I alt-tab to desktop I always get the blue screen of death when I go back into AH. I'm sure this is something on my end but I have no idea how to remedy it.

No... I would rather see other things implimented before this.

BigB,

What if it were possible to still film numerous different files or films during one sortie, and still be able to name each and every one right after the sortie?

Sort of with a series of pop up boxes ingame or such, that says, "Film #1, #2, etc."?

I agree that other things should take priority, but if there ever comes a time when semi-related programming is going on, if this could be implemented as well, that would be great.

As is, I have a very bothersome time going into "my computer" and renaming my films/throwing out the boring ones. I can still do it, sure, but all I'm saying is if it's ever convenient to give us the option to do this immediately after a sortie, I for one would certainly appreciate it.

Not a bad idea. I'm guilty of forgetting to turn the film OFF so when I am reviewing them, i have these huge films with multiple sorties on em.

Im not sure your mechanism is the best one but something along those lines would be neat.

Enduro · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2005, 09:31:10 PM »

yes on the films. we should have the option to delete them after we stop the gun cam, too.

no on screenshots. too cumbersome to do during flight. fix your screenies later, dammit. (unless I'm on your six...then, feel free to distract yourself all you want.

)

It would be nice to be able to re-name the film when it stops. It can use a default name if you don't choose to rename. In AW, I used to tag the films that had something I wanted to see later.

It would also be nice to stop and re-start a new film between sorties. I have programed my Cougar to automaticly do this, I am sure it can be done in the game.

Its the minor details that count, in anything in life

Including a game
