Here is my latest, it's nothing great. I thought I would put something out since I haven't done any for a while.

Eeewww... Typh dweeb!!! :P
Just kidding :)
Hey, if you're just doing some for fun, for practice, etc, do you take requests? How about 109s? Or 190s? I'd love to see either of those.
-

I don't understand. I was asking if *you* would make one about 109s or 190s :)
I don't have the software to edit my own lol.
-
Great work again stream.
See Rule #4, #5

Stream, I uploaded some F4U stuff if you can use it. You are welcome to use it for whatever you like, if you find anything useable in them. I tried to trim them down to just the parts that have anything decent in them (which isnt much from me lol).
The interesting thing to me, watching my own film is how my gunnery progresses over time. I uploaded them in order, oldest to newest, so if you start with number one, and so on, you can see the improvement (at least I can). The F4U-1 is a great plane. :)
-
I'm uploading a zip file now with a film that is a merging of 4 sequential films that I made last night in the 109G6. There are some nice points, where I'm literally 10 feet from an enemy plane as we're both stalling, and whatnot, and there is some rather sad gunnery on my part (but hey, I got about 2-3 5-kill sorties landed!).
It was 10MB so I zipped it down to 6MB.
I usually don't fly the G6... I should do it more often.

What intrigues me is that when I'm in the moment and setting up my shots and firing, it seems normal to me (I guess I'm concentrating so hard), but when I play it back the planeis bouncing all over the place, most likely because it's badly out of trim. This is something I never notice while flying, but always notice while reviewing my films.
-
Chimp, SA2, I checked out your films. They're pretty good.
If it's not too forward of me, Chimp, I have to say you're not leading enough on high deflection shots. You need to fire sooner than you do when the enemy is about to zoom past your gunsite. You're pressing the trigger when the site image isn't correct. Other shots you seem good with, but on those 90-degree straight-down into the plane shots, you need to fire sooner.
SA2, I liked your 3rd film best. That is to say, I started out hating it (15 minutes of nothing, followed by 7 minutes of good fighting), but once the action started with that oblivious 110 kill, I thought it was the best of the lot.
-
Like I said, you can see the improvment. :) There's roughly nine months of flying mostly in the Hog in between that first film and the last one (which was taken last night btw, on the only run I had time for before the wife-ack shot me down). As you can tell from the name I chose for myself here, I favor lots of speed, pick off the oblivious plane, and exit. As good as the SA is on most folks here, you'd be surprised how many I can get like that. And thats why I've come to like flying the Hog so much. It has that speed, but when it gets down and dirty it can hang with just about anything but a spit or a zero. Well flown 38s and Jugs give me fits, and a good stick in a P40 can wear me down if I'm dumb enough to blow all my speed (which I am lol). That G2 in the last film couldnt get away from me, but he played it smart and stayed just out of my reach while the La-7 setup for the kill. I didnt have enough speed left to get any separation, or I would have tried to at least get them both on one side of me instead of one in front and one behind. That poor guy in the second 110 just had no clue. I reversed on him and he lost it and augered. :) I love it when that happens. Saves ammo. :aok
Btw, I meant to trim the first chunk off that video, I just wanted to get it uploaded before the wife dragged me away from the office. I'm lucky she didnt grab one of my guns and blast the computer lol. Sorry for the dead stuff at the start.
-
This also showed me the real value of something like Eskimo's "worst planes" contest. You fly those planes, you really start living E management, or you die quickly. Even if you arent good at conserving your E in them, you take whatever little bit of improvment you DO get, and carry it with you to a more modern plane like the F4U that really benefits from even the smallest bit of E savings. You can see the increases in your performance and your skill level as a pilot right off the bat. For guys having a "slump", or are bored, or whatever, I really recommend flying one tour in the old stuff. The challenge of staying alive in a P-40B in the MA is exciting. What you take with you after a month in planes like that is priceless when you move back to your regular ride.
-
I was going to trim some things on my films as well, but I couldn't figure out how!!! There used to be an easier way, before the film viewer was re-coded.
-
Did you guys like the flick?
-
I don't know.. it had a few good moments... I think the action could have been better, but you're limited to your footage at hand. I might have chosen a few different angles and so forth, and had I a copy of FCP HD I'd have edited it a lot differently lol :)
Nice fun thing to watch, though.
-
I liked it as much for the tricks you did with the video as for the flying. I do know I love watching someone who knows how fly those things. In the right hands, the Tempest and Typhoon are two of the deadliest planes in the game. You showed that off pretty well. :)
-
Well, to be fair he did spray a lot lol!!
Just kidding :)
Those things can be hard to haul around, and you did a nice job of it.
Let me ask, do you use rudder pedals? I have a hunch that most of the "good" pilots, that are good with difficult rides, use rudder pedals.
-
Nice film, enjoyed it.
-
Thanks Dipstick.
As for some of the comments before, well we all can look back and think we can do something better. I made this in 24 hours maybe even less than that.
I didn't fly the Typhoon that much maybe 3 times total when I shot this. I usually fly the P-40 or the P-51.. I don't furball... I hunt... it might be viewed as dweebish... but hey that's the way I fly.
Yes I have rudder pedals... CH set up.
-
If hunting is dweebish Stream, I'm right there with ya. I love cruisin and lookin for the setup, and then totally ruining some poor sucker's 6 kill sortie. Maybe it just happened to me too many times and warped me lol. Whatever it is, I get a perverse pleasure out of picking off loners and the unaware. A good 1 on 1 is always welcome, I enjoy a good dogfight. But furballs are a picker's paradise. :)
-
The film was entertaining, but it was missing something. Maybe it was just the type of action you showed. Meaning, you showed the typhy shooting down an aircraft, but never showed the merge, if there was one. (Also, in my opinion, I don't like the song)
The typhoon is great with speed 220+. Almost all planes in the MA can outturn the typhoon under 250mph. Only reason why they typhoon seems to outturn others when slow is probably because it's already on your six and you are either just starting your turn or you are not turning hard or long enough. If you can kill many planes without E advantage in typhoon, they you know you are a good typhoon pilot.
-
And of course anytime I get a good run going myself, Kermit seems to be there to end it for me. Or Yoda. Bastiges. :)
-
It isn't whether you win or lose, but if you can give the other guy a good fight.
SA2, you are fun to fight, you should send Stream a few films of you in your typhy, cuz his fighting doesn't do justice to the Typhoon 1B. No offense Stream :D

Uh, wtf? Sure...
-
I dont know why, I very seldom film my Tyffie flights. I do well against newbs, but a good stick is hard to beat in one. Pellik skooled me in Tempests one night, and I've been scarred ever since. :) I think we fought 3 times, and the only time I got him I was in a Spit IX lol. When I came back in the Tempest he just utterly destroyed me. I held him off for awhile, but I never could gain a firing solution let alone an E advantage. That pales next to fighting Kermit tho. I'm lucky I love my CH Flightstick so much, otherwise I would have thrown it out the window more than once after losing one of those fights. That dang Tyffie just seems to slide out of my gunsight every time I think I've got him. My wife knows better than to come near the office for awhile when she hears me cursing out loud. :) Either that or she drops off the Tequila lol.
Dangit Stream, now you've got me thinking of flying that monstrosity again. I need to go stock up on alcohol. Either that or buy a new stick. :rofl

Apparently little green muppets with funny voices don't like you SA2...

If you think Yoda has a high sqeak voice, you should here Morphs.
Pull the trigger and he screams like a girl louder than Nath's woohoo slogan.
:D
