Unfortunately, unless you have an early version of the AH1 film .exe, the films I have aren't viewable.

Was just about to say that... shame really. I got to ride along with Nomak once when he and levi were messing around in the DA. Truly wicked merges.

There is always a 'best' but I don't think you can objectively figure out who that is unless the top pilots duel a ton and record the results.  If you're beating a pilot in excess of 60-70% of the time over the span of a couple dozen duels, you are statistically likely to be better.  If however, you are winning or losing in the 45-55% range over a couple dozen duels, it's too close to call and would take a plethora of more duels to determine who is actually 'better'.  Last time I dueled Kazaa, the only plane he was better in was the Spit16.  Everything else imo was too close to call, not enough data points to conclude anything other than it was very close.

Even that is not the perfect way to measure.  There really is no way to measure because like I said before.  There to many different styles of flying.  Pilot A can beat pilot B, pilot A can't beat pilot C, but pilot B can beat pilot C.  It happens all the time.  Some can fight many styles of flying but there will always be a few that u can't.

Does anyone have .ahf footage of Levi and Drex in action? If so please post it as I would love to see what these two could do.

I don't have any of drex's vids but I have quite a few of Leviathn's films. I'll put some of em up.

Yeah, it really is.  I would love to see the film viewer get some increased lovin' so it can play films from any version.

Another time, I see Drex in a Ju88 engage 4 bandits and watched him work his magic as he flew that thing like a Spitfire and shot down all 4 bandits in a very short time, think the fight lasted just a couple of minutes.  

I always thought that was myth until I saw the film ... couldn't believe my eyes ... I think he ended up with 6 kills ... a couple of the first 4 came back for some more spankin'.

If I wasn't there to see if for myself, I would have attributed to just another AH urban myth as well.  That was probably one of the most skillful displays of airmanship I have ever seen in any flight sim in the 17 years I've been playing these games.

It's a terrain bug with the new filmviewer. It's been discussed widely in the bug forum.
Some can view them & some can't
