LCA 3rd Ftr. Grp. Formation & Air-to-Air Gunnery w/ TrackIR

Put this together the other night, turned out to be a pretty cool film!  Wish I had more footage of B&Z's like the one OilSales & Strato do in this vid.

Right click/save-as - or stream.

YouTube version should be up in a bit - I think, YouTube seems to be broken at the moment :(

Haha, thanks guys.   TrackIR is too cool, it really adds a lot to the immersion and situational awareness. 

If you're tight on $, I'd reccomend FreeTrack - as that seems to be just as functional as TrackIR, but for a lot less $.  http://www.free-track.net/english/

I wish the AH film viewer didn't make everything look so "gamey" with the movements and all, the way the camera seems fixed to one angle on the plane and everything else rotates around it just doesn't look right.  However I really don't know how to setup shots with it - but I think just using in cockpit video with a TrackIR makes for the most realistic looking shots.
