Title: AcesHigh - The StayandfightStang
Post by: LCADolby on December 07, 2011, 08:48:30 AM
Everyone hates a RunStang, so here's a film to inspire more of you runners to go dogfighting.
I tried to make it a little more dramatic than my average films to date.
Dedicated to the Mustang Drivers that aren't afraid of a fight.

I made one to the same effect about 5 years ago with the song 'Mustang Sally' (you better slow your mustang down)

Nice to see life come full circle once again  :rock

good vid

I hate youtube when it does it. It's done it on a number of vids I've uploaded.

Curious... how do you encode them?  If its in H.264, try reducing the number of B-Frames in your encoding method.  Just a guess, I've yet to try it myself.

No idea on the encoding... I'm not all that computer savvy

I just have these properties;

Windows Media Video V11

Video: 29.970 fps, 1280x720 Progressive, WMV, 6.3 Mbps

Great film, but hardly an "anti runstang" vid. Looked like you had all the cards in those 3 moments, no need to run. What would the film show if the advantage was with them?   :aok



Good video   :salute

Had I been your average P51 flyer it would've been nose down, speed up, run away, 'extend'.

3 reversal sequences I guess are not good enough for some trolls

Really? I think it is ridiculous to think the "average" P51 flyer runs away at every engagement  :rofl :rofl That is like saying the "average" 109F flyer runs to and hugs ack  :aok :rofl :rofl
 You may be insulting many an "average" P51 flyer  :aok


BTW I see no reversals, I do see a well managed "E" positve pony.   :salute


Good film

From experience I'd say it was safe to say 75% of P51s 'extend' once and enemy aircraft gets it's 6 position. 200 can often be filled with "RunStang" and "Don't run pony".
The ones in that are not in the 75% won't be insulted, because they will know they fly the P51 differently, like I do.

Each scene has the enemy aircraft start for close to equal E, in speed, altitude or even starting on my 6 position.

The P47 lost alot of it's E pulling round to take a shot, handing me that advantage to rolling scissor to his 6 in a reversal of position and get him.
The F6F had more speed, a little less altitude and a near dead 6 position, I turn dove looped to reverse the positions, end result is in the vid.
The spitfire had more speed, more alt and my 6, so much E infact he overshot so fast the reversal of positions pretty much was done for me, end result is also in the vid.

What's your definition of a reversal?

I can see yours is the same as my own definition. Your gunnery is much better.
That's some spot on flying, it's very good.
The Chog kill is especially like some of mine, mainly because my gunnery doesn't get the kill shot straight after the pass like your first 3 films. I never got the prediction part down.
Run those through the film capture you've got a pretty good set for a YouTube film. :aok

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying yours wern't reversals, just couldn't resist the chance to define what I think a reversal is.
