Title: Films needed
Post by: Skuzzy on September 02, 2013, 06:44:03 AM
We would like to see films (.AHF native Aces High Film format), made with the latest version of Aces High (Version 2.31 Patch 3).  We have a couple of things we might use them for.  Our Youtube channel, possibly as clips for ads as well.

Nothing is cast in stone yet.

To post them here, expand the "Additional Options" link when you create the post and it will show you the "Attach" option.

Thanks everyone!

yea awesome film...maybe you could email it direct to hitech?

zip files seem to always get filtered out of email though. I usually rename zip files to email them (change the extension) to something obscure like...xxxxxxx.zix

Massive dogfight of outnumbered Hurries against 109's from the first BOB frame.

Unfortunately this film suffers from the shake that seems to inflict odd films so there is a lot better footage recorded by the other players.  But anything seen from anything but my perspective looks fine.

This was epic!

Title: Re: Films needed
Post by: Brooke on September 16, 2013, 12:25:12 PM
So how exactly does one make an AHF film?

Skuzzy needs just the files created when you record with your gun cam.  Those files are in "C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\films" and have the file-name extension ".ahf". 

The upload limit here is 4 MB, I think, so you might have to pick a few minutes and save that out separately with the "Start select" (by typing in a time reference like 0:32:15 for 0 hours, 32 minutes, and 15 seconds into the film), the "End select" (typing in another time code of when to end, such as 0:36:15), and the "Copy select" button (which saves that section of your film under the name you specify).
Title: Re: Films needed
Post by: Skuzzy on September 16, 2013, 12:47:43 PM
AHF files also ZIP up really well, so the film can be larger.  If you have larger than that, email them to me.  We have 15MB limit on emails.

The film viewer can also capture segments of a film.

And those segments can still be zipped.

The problem is that when you do that the engine sounds quit playing, and sometimes the views that you used no longer change properly (and a few other things).
