thats some serious dedication! ty for that sir!
-
That was awesome :eek: :)
for the makers...
-
Thats incredible! Absolutely astonishing. Those guys almost have to have had past experience in aerobatics in RL. Amazing.
Credits at the end were rather funny as well. :)
-
Unreal....That is amazing and looks like a friggin BLAST to do.:aok
-
I do have to admit, the ending was kinda deja vu for those that remember Germany a few years back. But yea, i'm mostly speechless.
-
WoW! :aok

Not so sure, was that the one with the pilot (Phillips I think) doing a split S too low?
-
:eek: OMFG...what an amazing video.
I know that some people will just NEVER understand why we do what we do, but the next time someone asks me why I like to "fly" computer airplanes with other "geeks," I'll show them this video...
I almost thought it was one guy and 3 drones until I saw the blooper reel at the end. :lol
A great job done by the guys at http://www.virtualthunderbirds.tk!!!

Great disipline to get there

-

-

cc. the only update i saw at lo-mac.com was the patch to 1.02. installed it. quite disappointed. :confused:

I'd goto the UBI fourms - they are pretty good at giving out the correct tweaks. http://www.ubi.com

will do. thank u for the tip, Wolfala. :)
I wouldn't have bought the game had I known it wouldn't run well except for the highest end PC's & overclocking. hehe
This quote from the forums says it all:
"You need $3,000 to run the game smoothly. Maybe that should be the printed requirements on the box."
:lol
-
That was one awesome video... Loved the out takes at the end!
-
Excellent video editing, sound editing and camera angles.
Film was excellent.
I keep watching it over and over. My roommates like it too. Makes them want to use buy that game.
to the thunderbirds.
Bloopers were hilarious:lol
:aok :aok
I give it a 10 out of 10.
-
Thats one sweet *** video!!!..two thumbs up:aok :aok Makes me want to get the game but I know my poor little comp could never play it good:lol
-
U really gotta experiment with the settings - 1 graphics change will make a world of difference, i.e. AA, etc. Also, try to keep it at 1024x768 as a baseline refrence. If it works smoothly, step it up a notch and see how it works. Its a *****, but its the sure fire way to get it running well.

can you download this game for free?

Rgr, Wolf. I'll tinker with it on Thanksgiving Day. Thank u again for the tips. :)

Wow... really great flying! Those guys must have been on a LAN... there's no way an internet connection could be that smooth and tight.
-
You can get the demo mechanic.....lets you fly a Mig-29 mission and a A10 warthog. Hard though I can't get the buttons right and that dam Mirage jet keeps blasting me away :(
-
wooooooooow sooo reeeeaaaall
-
Hey, glad to hear you guys liked the video. :aok
We will be making another one later on that will hopefully feature the full 6 ship delta formation. ;)
Oh...and yes that was online...there is a lot more lag then you would expect...you just don't see much of it from he ground.
-
BAh!!! Pewp on those Thunder Chickens ;) Lets see something from the Blues!! Nothing better than the Blue Angels :)
BTW simply AWESOME vid :aok

Thanks for the link Silent (I think - wasn't sure about the use of the winky face)!!
Just a reminder for those making comparisons, that the Virtual Blue Angels made that movie over 7 months ago at a time when people were having trouble just joining up in formation with 2 jets, let alone flying 4 jets in formation.
The Virtual Blues 2nd movie is one the way, hopefully before the New Year :aok

I don't have to many problems running Lock-On either. I am running at 1600x1200x32. I get a couple hiccups once and a while but nothing worse than AH2. Actually Lock-On sometimes runs smoother than AH2. I have 3.2 Pent, 2.0G ram, Ati 256mb 9800xt. I am thinking about starting a squad on Hyperlobby, 325th Fighter Wing.
Solas, you know where the in game render is in Lomac?
Great Movie Silent, I hope one day to get the hang of Vegas like you do.

Sorry Stream, there is already a 325th...that was actually the 2nd squad i was in for LOMAC... here is their site http://mywebpages.comcast.net/fightclub/index_page.htm

Hey, fellow-AH pilots...
Have you guys tried to replicate some of the moves that are in the Thunderbirds movie, yet?
I tested myself on a few maneuvers offline yesterday morning, & failed. Lol. :) I simply tried to hold the nose straight while making 4 or 5 high-speed aileron rolls. I was hoping to come out of the last roll in the same direction, but, by the 3rd roll, I was flying about 30 degrees off course. hahaha
After trying a few moves & then watching the film again, I realized that these TBirds are actually much better than I had realized. i.e.: high-speed zoom climb with aileron roll...stopping the roll with the tail lined up on the runway centerline. :eek: - how?!?
Anyone else tried anything?
Practice, practice, practice. I guess I've been flying props too long. :lol

i have tried this soo many times while in a base supression pattern i sometimes think i forget about possible planes upping....
not ONCE have i managed it to be in the center, a few times kind of close to the edge but still on the grass next to the runway.

:rofl ;) Smart arse...I was talking about flying maneuvers in Lock-on.
By the way, your new avatar gives me the same stomach ache I get when my 109G2 has a busted wing & I see 5 La-7's coming up on my six. :o :( :D

Great Films!!!!!!
Much skill SilentEagle and the Team!!! Nice work!

Absolutely excellent work, but I have to know more about what you went through to do that. It looked like some of the pans were perhaps done using TrackIR. Am I right or was that fancy hat work?
It sounded like there might have been some Tbird audio tracks laid over the video or did you actually use mics and your own voices?
The credits listed the Tbirds as sticking with you through the project. Were they teaching you the proper controls for the aerobatic manuevers, providing show sequencing, or what?
How long did it actually take to work through the project and what were the most difficult parts to work through?
How many hours of video did you take to edit down to 13 minutes?
Was there any comparsion you could make between the amount of practice it took to get that versus how much the real Tbirds put in?
I assume that the video was pieced together from single instances of good execution for each manuever, but were you ever able to fly the whole show all the way through?
Why'd you pick Lock On for the sim to use or put another way, how'd you come to choose Lock On?
Anyway, thanks for all the effort you put in. It was definitely an eye opener.
-
That was absolutely superb!
Probably the best video I've ever seen of that nature... hell, maybe in general.
-
ok.. dumb question for the day..
What game are these made with?
And were can i fidn it at? =D
-
Lock on: Modern Air Combat, Go to UBI.com. Its not that bad just very confusing. Try downloading the Demo 1st.
-
got the demo.. flying aint that hard.. but i cant get any of the weapons to fire.. not even the cannon on the A-10, useing a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 =D

-
wow! awesome video!:aok
-

If you bought it - you'd better patch the **** out of it.
-

-
Man I simply cant get over how AWESOME these movies are. And Glowing Ammram's movies are absolutly jaw dropping...
Morpheus has he released anything new?
-
wow! :O :O :O :O
-
Im confused, when I played it many scenes were out of focus and there was ALOT of shaking. These were very distracting. Was my download corrupted?
-
lol.
Its his style, no its not corupted.
You have to watch these films with an open mind. Your idea of good, might not be someone elses.

GA always seems to have films out, or little bits of his films that he's doing. Yeah, they are good too. I'll have to check and see if he has anything new out now. I haven't been paying much attention to this stuff the past month or so.

Yes an open mind is a must, but with all the shakin its dificult to enjoy the tremendous work that was done to produce this film.
