I’ve had to really work on my hat switch discipline in order to make clips look good - it still isn’t perfect though, I miss a lot of angles - guess it’s time to finally set up the VR

Horrido is one of the best there is in that thing - I could never fly that slow and that low in a 110 like that - I would have crashed long before he did in that video. That’s also only the last few moments of that fight - it started a good 60-90 seconds earlier. He’s a beast at whipping that thing around.

No doubt VR is immersive and the 3D helps a lot with distance judgements. It does have drawbacks (I've had two VR headsets). Being cut off from the keyboard and anything not mapped to your HOTAS is a no go for me. TrackIR is a good solution if VR doesn't do it for ya.

Yes, I’ve been there and equally frustrated by him lol. When I fly that thing, it feels like a tank.

I’m trying to get into VR with the quest two I have and I have similar complaints like you. So I have a nice noise canceling headset that’s hard to wear with VR headset and I probably look like a doofus from the outside lol not to mention that that’s a lot of weight on my melon. Not sure how the rest of your handle this.

I also get much better crisper picture on my 55 inch TV I use but the immersion is definitely hard to ignore it. It’s a lot of fun. I think I’ll start using it more just to see if I can get it to where I will like it.

You have all inspired me. I have hundreds of videos I’ve never done anything with because the thought of a three minute video would take me half a year. When I was producing radio shows, I had a habit and a reputation for being a little too particular, but it was all in the interest of quality lol.

Never mind that, now with these short little videos being the norm, quick hits are really fun to dramatize I’m a lot less intensive. I’m about to release my first video ever also a short too soon. I do feel like I’m pretty good at constructive criticism lol  :uhoh

Shout outs to those of you I’ve been paying attention too. Animl, DLO, Fugi, MD, so many others!  :cheers:

Good work Fugi - your first Short already shows 300+ views for me, it’s probably even higher but you’ll only see it if you click on your analytics for the video. Don’t know why but the analytics always show a higher, truer number.

But nicely done  :aok

I have close to 20,000 views now in 3 days. That’s ALOT of exposure. Should only increase as more people make videos and we gain more subscribers and engagement  :rock

One thing Growling Sidewinder does consistently is whenever there is something significant like a bullet or missile hit he replays that period from an external view. He gets hundreds of thousands views so you can't argue with success. Inserting a section like that isn't difficult. I can make a video on how to if anyone wants. :)

Here ya go. Not polished by any means. Just an example of how to combine videos using Davinci Resolve.

If I wanted only the audio from the original recordings I wouldn't have made a video of the making of the video. The original recorded audio would have remained intact and untrampled. And I was running reshade in that to get rid of the green haze.

A little better depiction of what I intended. Me showing off my lack of skill.

Thanks, AKIron!

MD, Fugi, how do you get that 9:16 aspect ratio?
