The Dive , excellent. Reminds me of the quality Niros used to make. Very nice Raph

NIROS! that's another VERY good example of what the film viewer is capable of.

Man, you just gotta check out the media made by the community, I think you decided to post without searching before.
 You've got since the most action increased heartbeat stuff to some fluid artistic. Some folks even like playing with the historical theme!
  Take a look at the films and screenshots session and download the Doolittle Raiders film! that's a masterpiece. Of course the graphics are from an old version of the game but you can't use the statement that "the film viewer is way to limited". The video you posted used only 2 kinds of camera shots. Both available in our Film viewer.

Feel free to check out the video makers! the community has done a lot of cool stuff.

This is an oldie but still one of my favorites. I rarely film anymore.
It was taken during either an FSO or SEC. Its been so long I
forget.

Yes I have looked at many films by the community, included those that you posted and to me they always look poor. Add the average graphics and isn't very watchable other than for die hard AH fans.

Anyway, example of FS movie with good (interesting) camera work and added effects, camera shake etc. Though music choice is rubbish.

funny how blind people can be.

his dislike is so bad he refuses to see.

Gixer why are you even here? if the graphics are that bad and you dislike them so much.....why?   why play....why come here and talk smack?

Camera shake is not part of the film capturing in those videos, also there are many community made mods to capture the image in most of those games, Il-2 included.

You can get the shake with those expensive editing programs and such things.  The video you sent is a good video indeed and it IS beautiful.
What I don't get is this statement that the AH movies are dull. You are jugding only by the graphics level, seems to ME like that's the case at least.

I really don't know... the films in aces High have all the very same angles and camera movement as the ones you sent, what we don't have is that kick arse realism on the textures and models. I am refuting your statemet that the Film Viewer is limited based on the videos you sent... which use the very same "limitations" only with better light effects and details.

There is always something to improve in the FV, that's for sure. Somethings are HARD to make using the tools that we have now but it is POSSIBLE. It takes some more effort but you can make those exact same films if you wish to copy their style.

One basic thing I would like would be a hotkey binded to start/stop shot instead of clicking.

You keep trying to make statement/quote what I haven't said. I said the graphics are average not bad. Obviously it's the odd good furball which keeps me coming back now and then. Certainly never been the graphics or flight realism.

last time i played FSX i thought the flight model was lacking

The box aircraft yes, professional addons like PMDG are about as close as you can get to a Level D sim on a PC.  But I wasn't comparing FSX to AH flight modelling.. However improved graphics etc add a lot to the immersion/realism factor.

Absolutely, I know you're only talking about visuals and capture, just throwing the comment out there.

I own FSX and as such feel justified in knocking it down a peg or two, because frankly, having to mod/add to a game that I paid good money for just to get a plane with a decent flight model seems out of order in what is supposedly the premier flight sim line in the world.

consistently downing it....... is exactly what you do.

Each to their own on their perception of value. I think $40 for the sandbox and then adding $80 (or less) for a near professional level flight simulator is extremely good value and a one off cost.

Take that onine over Vatim is free.

Going by how long you've been around and number of posts, sure it's not the BBS and being a full time troll?

I think the only way to settle this is to show a screenshot of the game to someone who has never seen Aces High before, but plays modern games.
