I have a question about the film, did you just extract it to .AVI form from the AHII Film Viewer? Or did you actually try to edit the film using something such as Vega or Windows Movie Maker?
Now, here's a few hints which are time consuming but make for better films:
1. Since the AHII Film Viewer doesn't record your plane's sounds usually Film Makers will add background music to the film to make it more enjoyable. A few film makers actually insert in-game sound effects into the film to make it more realistic and "action-packed".
2. Try messing around with exterior camera angles. When zoomed in close they make great shots of your plane's detail and the fight.
3. Try not to use the same footage for an extended period of 30 seconds. What I mean by this is you used a film that you recorded in-game with what I believe was "Use recorded views". There's nothing wrong with that but people these days (just like me) enjoy shots of the plane in action, not seeing long pieces of film of the plane on it's way to the action and long pieces of film on it's way back.
4. Try to keep the audience excited about the film. Hit them with as many action shots as you possibly can! This includes evasion maneuvers, attacks, kills, etc... If you keep the audience excited you're bound to get many 's and Thumbs-ups.
Until your next great smash hit, Nice Work!:aok
