Very nice side effect of Optest3
« on: August 24, 2005, 11:16:56 AM »
I flew a couple of flights with optest 3 last night and filmed them. Replaying these films show they are superior to normal ah2 films. When reversing films, exploded planes go back together immediately, smoke clears immediately, and there are no left over artifacts like in normal ah2 films.

That would be a great feature if film playback worked a little better.  I hate getting to a piece of film where I want a screen shot of pre-explosion, only to back up the film and have the smoke and stuff remain.

Well on further testing, I think I jumped to conclusions. The smoke disappears only if the pilot explodes. It hangs around like balloons if you smoke a plane. Maybe it was just one of those sorties where pilots actually blew up when I shot them. That don't happen too often for me:eek:
