show pilot black outs in film viewer
« on: November 26, 2011, 10:02:14 AM »
From G forces and pilot wounds.  Please.


p.s.  Also could use an icon for the protagonist's plane when viewing from other planes in the film.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I think it can be done for the recorder's plane but I don't think it's possible for other A/C you might want to jump to in the AHFV. Not saying that's what you asked for...

I support this though.

I know this is sort of off topic but how do you get to and open the film viewer?  :headscratch:

All I do is squint really hard or hold my breath for half a minute at the appropriate times to simulate red outs and blackouts.  :D

The icon idea is a good one. :aok

C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\ahfilm

or the folder:

C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\films

and click on one of the films you've saved and it should automatically open AHFV.

To record films in-game press ALT+R to begin recording and ALT+R again to end the recording. A dialog box will appear allowing you to name and confirm, or to cancel saving the film. You can also auto record your sorties by going to:

Options > Preferences > Flight

in the Clipboard in-game.

Since the viewer can display speed and altitude in the "con window", then showing G loading there would be nice.

It would go a long way toward refuting claims of a pilot having disabled his blackouts.
