The video should be shot in the best quality the game has to offer and with zero cinematics because the game itself has zero cinematics.

It should also incorporate land sea and air because that is your domain on steam Hitech...not sure if you looked yet but you have the middle ground of War Thunder(MMO), IL2(Flight Model), World of Tanks(GVs) and that war ship game(BG/CV)....the guys who want all of those things are the ones you should be hunting for....which Im sure you already know.

Some will say Im crazy for saying this but the fact that Aces High has built in spectator and match play makes this game have a huge potential on steam....Esports potential...like Dreamhack 2019 potential, a championship being streamed in front of nearly 100K people....

I'm betting on a winner just like Rick Flair....I wager casting rights if Aces High gets that big like I think it can. :aok

If anyone hasn't seen this, it looks like Cheech did a nifty film editing tutorial. I don't know how to use the shot tool so this might help others as well.

I understand the Film Viewer and tool maybe a little different than 2011 but hopefully still helpful in understanding the different views and concepts.

One thing that needs to be considered if the game goes on steam is the amount of players may explode to well over current arena limits. A game I play the most current called Elite Dangerous is far from the most popular game but it still has 11k-5k active players at any given time on steam ALONE, not counting off steam players. Iv seen it peak over 30k several times. Once AH goes on steam your server might get overwhelmed very quickly if you suddenly find yourself with 30000+ new sign ups.

No.  No.  No. 

Keyboards are a poor substitute for a throttle quadrant and various other levers used to manage an engine.   It's fine like it is.

This is totally illusory. The conditions aren't even remotely comparable between those two games.
Elite had a way older legacy than AH. Old gamers had been waiting for a resurrection for many years. It had big media coverage. A big publicity campaign. A kickstarter campaign which brought 1.5 Million £. A high profile CEO. And so on.

For comparison, AH's twitter announcement about Steam Greenlight has by now been retweeted 4(!) times...
Just putting AH on steam doesn't suddenly give you "30000+ new sign ups"
