Title: MotA 1st Frame Take
Post by: Animl-AW on February 03, 2024, 10:36:24 PM
KILLER!!!
Despite my hardships
1) Stick went out at 1st spawn (its dying) all I had was right view. Lost in space. literally beat the hell out of the stick and it came back to life with full views <blank stare>,... found my group again. Got a few shots in, landed
2) DISCOed 10 min. in to 2nd hour.
3) Finally everything went smooth and the masses of planes was a sight well worth the brief trouble above.

Kinda surprised my video card ran that so well, smooth. Very good turnout, it was a full house.

If ya haven't signed up come as a walk-on, it's well worth the time and memories

Frame rate went from 200 to 50 when I got around all those bombers  :rofl

It was a fun frame! So glad I got to make it!

Cheers all for flying with us. Was an absolute blast and so glad to see 115+ people in Scenarios. Here's to the next 4 frames!

I had a blast!

The frame rate definitely took a hit around all the bombers, but nothing that made it unplayable.

Looking forward to next week, and hoping I can make the remaining four frames.

Not to mention, I have been up since 3am. Didn’t matter, adrenaline was 240mph and kept me awake, lol <shrug>

My 2nd scenario since 2000, what a gift this one is.

My card is basically clamoed at 60fps. Seems no matter what I’m at a steady 60. Can d stays cooler.

Much respect and thanks to all who flew and especially those involved in the planning and putting it all together...obviously it wouldn't even be a thing without y'all, so thank you!  :salute

I really enjoyed it! Seeing that bomber swarm with all the fighters around it was something else. I thought the allied had great restraint in sticking with the bombers. Crazy that the top kills for allied was only 4, which shows great restraint in staying with the bombers. Dantoo must have brought space lasers to down about 15 bombers in one sortie  :rofl that is wild. Wasn't 100% satisfied with my performance and disappointed with a few assists I ended up getting, but ace status with no deaths or any damage is honorable for me. Second sortie had a fun tango with 2 P51Bs which was very enjoyable and intense.   :airplane:

Overall was tremendously fun. I think the Time to action (TTA) was really good. Sorta nice not having to climb to 29k every take off and only having to fly a sector or so was very nice.

I think the allied was successful on their first 2 sorties, but that last one was pretty brutal.

This has to be more exciting than the show.

Can't wait for the next one  :salute

I can watch episode 3 of MOTA or my films from last night. Think I’m watching my films first.
Frame one broke my fun-o-meter and I have to get that fixed for next week.

<S> to everyone of the organizers!!!!!

I have the same conclusion. So far, this is how the movie should look. The movie is becoming a trailer to a scenario.

“…that’s not a knife,…THIS is a knife.”

And we’ve only done 1 frame of 5.

Thanks for flying, folks!  :aok

PLENTY of action.  And that will continue throughout, as we battle in the skies of Germany.  :aok

Frame 2, winter skies!

I was so pissed at xfinity. Cable out at 7am. Said it would be fixed by 5pm.... then 12am. Came up at about 10pm. This is the third weekend in a row. All from a week three weeks ago damaging equipment.... or so they say.

Signed up for fiber when they get it in our area.

This actually works quite well in most cases. If you tether your phone to your device it will use it for a connection. WiFi may vary.

 I listened to Bud Anderson on Jocko Wilink’s podcast a year ago or so.  He said escorts started out with orders to stay with the bombers no matter what and 18k was the lowest they were allowed to go.  But planners realized in order to defeat the luftwaffe they had to shoot’em down so in later missions many escorts were given the freedom chase after them no matter the altitude.
