:headscratch: i'll have to dig around and see if i saved any screen shots. i don't do video...you know what they say about the camera... :lol

what? makes you look fat?

QUICK! SOMEBODY GET CACTUS.

I have a lot of screenshots that I would love to send in, however, most of them were also sent into the HTC screenshot thing they started. My question would be can I send the same screenshots I sent to HTC to you as well?
-
You might want to include any AH video by Niros - the unofficial promo he produced is fantastic.

Oboe the film you posted was very good. Unfortunately it was P51 vs P51 and P47 way to much.
Would have been better if it was allied vs. axis only. Using shows what is available surely
but a P51 vs 109, 110 etc. only would have made a bigger impression.

:lol that and it makes noobs look like real noobs...

"P51 vs 109, 110 etc. only would have made a bigger impression."
But very misleading.

Agreed.
Majority of the player base flies all the main arenas and spend the most time there, while the historical AvA arena and other special events make up the minority of time spent by players.

Spitfire vs 109, from 2006! Still good IMHO

LePape's videos are also just superb. I love to watch them.
I wonder about some of those P-47 moves though, tailslides or whatever you call them - they look more like the Viper moves from BSG than what I would expect from an 8-ton WWII fighter. Obviously they are possible for a real master to pull off in-game, but seeing this might make people wonder about the fidelity of the AH flight model (whether or not the move was possible in a real-life Jug).
On the other hand, maybe people would say, "Wow, I didn't know they could do that!" and want to give the game a try. Who knows!
-
Quite so... While they are visually interesting to watch, it is because they are so strange and odd and beyond normal that we enjoy watching them.
To use that as a primer to the uninitiated would be VERY misleading. Better to show some straight-up action instead of a heavily choreographed video.
-
Yeah, a mix of MA furball, CV VS CV action, torpedo attacks, Boat VS Planes, Flack VS planes, Special events bomber formations under attack, Jabo attacks, NOE raids, Convoys or trains getting shot up, cities / towns getting bombarded, GV VS GV massive action (tank town / jungle) and, of course, the well known 1 VS 1 duels. All while describing AH game features like Niros's unofficial promo video.
THAT would be the ultimate AH promo video.
-
Does anyone have a link to the Der Gross Schlagg promo video? That was one of the best I have seen of Aces High.

If so, it's not really that good for showcasing AH, IMO.

Let's face it, fellas, anything other than a youtube video of newborns crying is going to be disingenuous. Just pick whatever one is likely to bring the most fresh meat around for a few weeks. The same proportion will stay or leave regardless of what video you choose.

I mean that aside from a few seconds here or there (the fws diving in on teh B-17s from the gunner's POV) it's rather boring and shows a lot of stick stirring by Fw190s avoiding gang bangs. Outside of that the little glimpses of action are short and look almost fast-forward in speed.
I mean that it's not all that great if you want to show it to a newbie to get them interested, IMO. I understand what your'e saying, though.

Lepape2's 47 videos puts that one to shame and gets you excited about playing

No, it is not on youtube. I don't remember who posted it (Fencer?) but I have it downloaded on my computer at home.

Found it, originally posted in this thread by kermit. The link is dead now though, perhaps kermit can put it on the you tubes

Brooke may be/been too busy to of seen this thread yet, but his neat orderly collection of AARs and screenshots from most of the recent AH Scenarios should be a treasure-trove for this project.

Anyone still have a copy of The High Blue, pt 1? Never finished :(

damn lag

and again

I'll put together some random action clips from AH. Started piecing together some last night. Might make a semi-interesting 4-or-5 minute clip. Of course... you know that means C2 action....
:noid
If you can stomach that then you might like it. :D

I still write for them time to time. I'm the former managing editor - I left that role a while ago but im still helping out when I can.
So yes, we can update the product info with the improvements over the last nine years.
And thanks to everyone for the screens and bids - they're appreciated.
