Short film - Worthless
« on: January 09, 2008, 12:46:37 PM »
The original title, suggested by a squad mate, was vulgar but along the same principles of the current title.  

Happened yesterday actually in the MA, returning home with a shot up 262 after some exceptionally poor flying against B-17 HQ raid.  Being impatient as I was and down to one engine, I attempted a landing too fast and with too little run way.

The end should give you a chuckle or a 'you lucky sob.'  The ending was not planned and swearing was frequent on vox with a joyous praise at the end.  Also gave me a few more attempts with working with the new camera system.  I only uploaded it to youtube since it wasn't worth my time to do anything high quality.

Enioy.

WOW!:O

I'd love to find out how you made the fly-by view running from 0:36 - 0:42. That was incredible!

That was hilarious.  I love how the tail came off.

Now we're going to get n00b questions about the thrust reversers on the 262.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I used this using the 'World Relative' setting.  In this setting (as I'm discovering because we have no real tutorial from HTC), its like a stationary (or moveable camera in my case) that follows wherever you point really.  Where as 'Plane Relative' follows the plane and uses it as a center of focus.

LOL, great landing, MrBucket! :) Did you refuel and take off again? ;D

Btw, you're doing a great job in mastering the new shot system, I hope you'll make a good tutorial post in this forum when you'll feel more comfortable with it. The traveling shot of the touchdown is great! :aok

LOL, were you in the exact same group that did it that same mission of B-17 like 90 minutes earlier in the day?  That first group came in lower and I intercepted them around 22k in a G-14.  After landing two kills I logged off.  Came back on 90 minutes later and found that a new group was in the exact same spot they were in before, but much higher!

Yep, i did and hosted 3 HQ raids, 30mins apart. I was in the exact same group you intercepted at 22k first time, then we went to 27-30k on the next try :D .


The overall mission was about hour and a half, there was the climb out, then we had to assemble the buffs into box formation, then came the fighters swarming the buffs, it was pretty lengthy, but we had 10+ bomber sticks, 11 escorts, fun as hell:D .


As the film must not have showed you, a 262 is VERY slow past 25k. and the buffs were at 27k so all the 262s that were trying to engage us at that alt had a VERY high risk of getting shot down, supprised he was able to pilot his back to base without any problems.

That's what I figured after I posted the question. VERY nice job on that capture.

That was great landing lol


Reminds me of the time I bounced off one of the rearming pads on landing; didn't cause any damage but actually helped me get on the actual runway
