WW1 'Camel Sweep' movie
« on: November 29, 2010, 07:54:34 AM »
Just a short flick with more or less contiguous footage from the first contact of the event, Camels vs Fokker Dr.1's. Event lasted 2 and a half hours, about the typical duration of a sortie of the period. Makes you think.

I didn't try to get too clever with AHFV as I'm new to it. Just some basic cockpit view stuff, let the action speak for itself.

25% fuel?  I saw that you had a fuel leak very early in the fight and didn't last long as a result.  That looked like a lot of fun though and the Camel is a bit of fun to fly.  The few times I actually go to the WWI arena, I usually take the Camel.

yeah   25% is good for furballs but not when you're playing lil Dutch Boy in the air.  :salute  LOL

Good to see some folks using the WW1 arena...  Might just draw me back top the game sooner than later.

I always roll with 50% fuel (unless I need more) so you must have looked at the gauge after the fuel tank was hit. Pity about the loss of quality getting it small enough to upload  :( Mine seems to be worse than the norm, I'll have to check out that 'how to' thread before I attempt any more.

It's a good short skit.  Too bad you didn't stay in the fight for very long.  It was just starting to get me into the urge to log into the arena but then you were forced to land. :lol  Bah!  I probably won't sleep for a few more hours now... :rofl
