« on: August 08, 2000, 09:38:00 PM »
what...if any, will the film component of AH demand of the computor if i have it on for the entire duration of the sortie, turning it off for refuel and vehicle operations?

cuz i keep forgetting to turn it on when somthing gets interesting???

Not too much Shotgun.  The films are basically REALLY big text files.  I've filmed whole sorties myself and they get to be about 1.5 Meg or so after about 20 minutes.  Any more I just turn on the recorder when I get to within 5k or so of a bandit.  Sometimes there is a slight stutter right when you turn on the recorder, but I can't notice any performance difference after that.
