Someone suggested on another post to record these lessons on Aces High Film Viewer.  I support this idea due to its simplicity to record and dissiminate.  It would also allow students to veiw multiple points of veiw, as well as trails and the ability to pull away and view maneuvers from a distance.  I figured Id pass it on to this thread too, this would be great. It wouls be good for HTC to eventually compile these lessons, thus helping to reduce the number of new users being completely lost, or having to jump several sites and then wait for an available trainer or lesson.  Throwin it out there!

No, I'm against this! The lazy squeakers who dont go will have the ability to watch and learn, making them harder to shoot down!  :lol

Hehe, Just kidding. I support this idea.  :aok

Great idea Chancevought!  Would be great to have a library of these for folks who can't make it to the event or newbees.   :aok

10:00pm means nighttime, flatiron1. If you're in Alabama, that would be 9pm, your time.

While filming these is a good idea, the way people were following the instructor very close would make trails option in film very confusiing.
I was there and with all those icons down there, even with Rolex wingmanned it was tough to really see what was happening.
That critism aside, was a good class. Another job well done Rolex, Widewing, Ghosth and AHTC  :salute

I agree with you about clutter and visibility, fuzeman. I'm not sure how to solve it yet, but I'm thinking about it.

1st option/idea - when using trails in the films, I have suggested before and still suggest that the friendly( your plane ) have green trails and the enemy have red trails......

or 2nd idea- in the film viewer, make it a clickable option to turn on trails for each individual plane in the film, as each individual plane is clicked to have trails enabled, the film ( FE ) picks a different color for each added plane trails.....

Probably the simplest solution to correct the clutter issue would be to reinact the clinic with just the instructor and his assistant/helper/target in the area.  It would take a little extra time but in the long run would probably be more helpful to a much larger group of AH players.
