How to deal with a couple of DingBots
« on: March 02, 2019, 01:39:00 AM »
I thought I'd share a fun experience I had in the Match play with the drones. I pull a lot of great defensive maneuvers that are helpful tactics for the MA. The damn bugga got my rudda...  :airplane:

Not gonna lie I’m pissed it’s not put into a YouTube or mobile friendly file to view it. Nothing against you T, but for people like me I’m never going to watch simply because it’s a AHF file and no click Able for mobile

Been that way since we tested the drones in the massive AI missions during the alpha\beta 2015-16. I had F4u1D out turn my A6m in some missions, bomber gunners were all 999000 clones. After a while I found fighting real mistake making people easier.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

How do you convert those to avi / mp4 what-have-you Fugitive? I've always had problems with the avi export and usually get large files of gibberish.

I use the free version of OBS Studio. Setup is pretty easy. You set AH film veiwer as the capture window, run the film, start OBS when you want to, stop it when your done and it save the video as an mp4 where you want it.... I have mine in the videos folder of windows. It is saved with a time stanp, right click and rename. Open your youtube account, click "upload" video, and navigate to the saved video, click ok. Be sure the video is set as "public" and when its done up loading they give you an address, copy and paste.

Easy Peesy!

That does sound pretty easy. I am working with Ciaphas tonight to try to get my twitch working also. I'm trying to expand my horizons with videos n stuff.

Win 10 has a decent recorder already built in.

Press Windows key+g to open. Press recorde and thats it!!!

Thanks for the advice (thought I'd replied already).

I found this:-



AH2 I don't know how much of it still applies to AH3 film viewer.
