Thats incredible! Absolutely astonishing. Those guys almost have to have had past experience in aerobatics in RL. Amazing.

Credits at the end were rather funny as well.

Unreal....That is amazing and looks like a friggin BLAST to do.

I do have to admit, the ending was kinda deja vu for those that remember Germany a few years back. But yea, i'm mostly speechless.

Not so sure, was that the one with the pilot (Phillips I think) doing a split S too low?

OMFG...what an amazing video.

I know that some people will just NEVER understand why we do what we do, but the next time someone asks me why I like to "fly" computer airplanes with other "geeks," I'll show them this video...

I almost thought it was one guy and 3 drones until I saw the blooper reel at the end.

A great job done by the guys at http://www.virtualthunderbirds.tk!!!

i liked it so much, i went out and bought the game. My P4 2.4 box doesn't run it...well, at about 4 fps.

I'd goto the UBI fourms - they are pretty good at giving out the correct tweaks. http://www.ubi.com

will do. thank u for the tip, Wolfala.

I wouldn't have bought the game had I known it wouldn't run well except for the highest end PC's & overclocking. hehe

This quote from the forums says it all:
"You need $3,000 to run the game smoothly. Maybe that should be the printed requirements on the box."
