Allies retrieve footage from crashed Luftwaffe fighters!

[33Vortex]

Late last night, the allies managed to retrieve undeveloped film from two Luftwaffe fighters brought down in aerial combat earlier in the evening. These films have now been developed and are made public .

Nice Vortex, you say you did that with Fraps?

[33Vortex]

Fraps and Sony Vegas Movie Studio software. To render the film took ~40 minutes! Raw footage from Fraps for this clip even in ½ resolution was +6 GB. After render it was down to 406 MB. So it is a extremely CPU intensive process to render, but great fun to make movies!

Friggin way cool bro.

That's how we roll!

Are we having fun yet?  Looks like someone is

Can you send me the software name and info on what you used in detail.

I would like to run this on one of my Animal systems that I run here.
See what I can get out of it .

Great job of the footage.  Would you consider doing one on AVA to get more people in the arena?

I looked up the website forthe Trac IR and have a question...how much play do you have between the link? Example.... To look behind you how far away from the screen do you have to turn your head to get it to look behind you? If I had multiple monitors it would be awsome...buuuuut, I'm wondering if its even worth the effort since I'm running on one. It'd be a little uncomftorble rotating my head one way and trying to still look back at the screen. Just curious, it looks like an awsome hands free deal.

It is a awesome hands free deal... You can set up the sensitivity just the way you like it. I have it set so that when I'm facing about 3/4 of the way to the left/right, I'm looking backwards. That's pretty high sensitivity, and takes some getting used to. Once you're used to it however, it's amazing how intuitive it is. The immersion factor is tremendous. This is probably the best piece of hardware I've bought. I'd make this a 3rd on the priority list. 1) a good stick 2) a good display 3) TrackIR 

[Chemdawg]

It seems it would take some getting used to. Is the setup complicated or basically plug and play?

[33Vortex]

Install the drivers, takes a few minutes, plug it in and play. You'll need to tune the settings to your liking and it will take some time getting used to but if you have the patience the reward is worth it.

I think I'll start with the 40 dollar version first. If I like it well enough I might graduate to the more expensive one. Looks really cool. Looked at the website again watching the video. I first have to get the funding okayed through the General. (wife)

Its unfortunate that the film didn't show your demise as I shot your wing off before you porked the radar at the base near the fuel factory... that part must have been burned in the ensuing fireball...

It's unfortunate that you're so insecure you need to mention it.

Thats a rule #5 violation and you should be given a week off to think before you post.
