Title: Flippy FLoppy P51.
Post by: iaqmya on September 29, 2016, 03:43:22 PM
I tried to email the film, but it was sent back as being too large a file.

Complete file is posted since I could not find any instructions on editing the film.  The “Help” function in the editor is not functioning 

The P51 appears at about 12 minutes 3 seconds into the film  I reviewed the film at regular speed and then dropped down to .29 of normal viewing speed.  Viewing the film, at time 13:20, the P51 to appears to slide to the right, no banking.  At 13:41, again as I viewed it on screen, the P51 appeared to move to the left, sliding, not flying with the canopy facing to the right of the screen.
At 13:51 the P38 did a fast flip taking the canopy from pointing to the right side of the screen to the left side.  Again, this was at a speed of .26 of normal viewing speed.

He's 7k away from you. You aren't going to get an accurate recording.

What degree of accuracy or inaccuracy is there?  The film clearly shows the damage done to the individuals aircraft the same as in the other film.  The view from behind each aircraft appears to be the same as those in the original film.

What are the inaccuracies.  Are the speeds and altitude correct or in error. Is the plane of flight/motion accurate or in error, and if in error, can the degree of error be measured?.  If I view the scene from one aircraft to another, how accurate or inaccurate will it be.  Will the shots being fired/striking the target be an accurate representation of what occurred?  If I place myself in the opponent aircraft, or behind it, and watch them take out a target, I still see the hit sprites, even when my aircraft is much farther away from what I am actually observing. 

I record just about every flight I take.  It gives me the opportunity to see how bad a pilot I really am. :airplane:

The further away someone is, the less often positional data is updated. This makes for some interesting things, like flipping and flopping, flying under the ground, etc.
