Maybe links to these yt films and info on the next scenario could be used to update the games main website..

It's lack of current events and information can't help get new subscribers .. can it?

I inquired similar a cpl weeks ago. New content on home page.

I agree, more action on the main page could help to make things look more active. Being retired Id be will to help where I can Ive learned a few new programs to build these videos, what s one more. I believe Skuzzy used Joomla for the main site.

At least post scenario announcements since that seems to be a draw and current. It's fine to be on the ahevents page,...just bring out front for fresh content. it may catch the eye of someone just passing through and not clicking buttons.

Short AAR of MNM, Thursday Night Tank nights, FSO. Just 40-50 word statements to show some action is happening.  I had this FB page I was running real time the nights I was on for a bit.

I was grabbing some action/traction, but real life got in the way and I had to stop. Short updates of what is going on IN game REAL time on the main page might get some interest.

Keep the main page generic with basic info and now these YT videos if the manpower to keep it updated is an issue..

I think upcoming events and scenarios should be listed with all but the last one or two removed with those last couple left up with links to YT videos of them..but that requires periodic maintenance

The outdated info looks like the app is being neglected and can't help ppl try it imo

AH Events can submit the text and a five min update is all I'm asking for. It doesn't have to be every week. maybe once a month or 2. Weekly events can be listed with no dates since they happen weekly. Events are a big AH seller it seems

Again "Help us, help you".

I subscribed. Great use of thumbnails on the videos that's something everyone needs to be aware of when making Youtube videos.

I’m not terribly fussed about my view count or any of the other analytics but something I’ve noticed posting videos is that the ones with a thumbnail with a plane facing towards the camera tend to get 30-50% more views than the others. Now this is an extremely small sample size (like projecting a guys year at the plate off of 1 spring training game small) and more views doesn’t necessarily mean that people are watching more than two seconds but if you want as many eyes as possible it’s something to consider.

The only reason I want the counts/views/subscriptions is because You Tube will notice and add them to searches as well as put them up as suggestions to other people. The more people that see my videos the more people I hope check out the game. Thats what Im hoping to do, is get more people in game.

Good point.
I custom make my thumbs. A feeble attempt to look like a game CD cover.

Edit: I just bumped up from HD 1080 to 2560x1440. My videos should be more crisp and realistic.

Thanks for your efforts Fugi.

I would find it incredibly helpful to get a bit more detail as to improve my dive bombing and rocket attacks.

Keep the vids coming!

It is hard to split the line where on one side its a training tutorial..... that nobody watches nor sends on, and the other side showing "action" in game play. Id love to come up with some quick easy training tutorials but lets get this page rolling a bit first. I remember training guys from the 444th Air Mafia on how to dive bomb in a P38 with out lawndarting.  :devil
