Dare to compare.

Those Videos rock!   How do they overcome the lag factor though?

I hear there's quite a ruckus over whether all of them are real...

Yeah well i know how hard it is to stay in formation on AH because of the lag factor. and that just flying straight and level. But those guys with the turning and manuvering you wouldnt think it would be possible.

I am sure not *all* of them are untinkered but most of the teams show great flying skills. And you can follow the VFAT online life. Some of the teams also put up uncut tracks of their shows - like the Virtual Patrouille Suisse for example.

BTW, the Virtual Blue Angels are freaking awesome, although I like the post-production of the Berkuts better.

I believe Cobra516 is a virtual Thunderbird.

You can hold 20 yards separation in AH. We tend to see a 10 yard difference in distance from each viewpoint. Sometimes what you think is lag is just changing AOA at different times so you aren't slowing down and speeding up together.

I bet these formations are from the LAN meetings without firewalls and antivirus applications.

The Virtual Blue Angels are over the internet, as they claim.
