P-51 Guncam Kills w/ TrackIR
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:28:55 PM »
Had some fun blasting bandits with my squadmate Cntrl a few nights ago.  :D

Pulled a pretty risky maneuver against that '38 - but it worked out, it was Delirium, he shot me down earlier, so it worked out.

Came out darker than what it looked like in .wmv, make sure to watch in High Quality and maybe turn brightness up.

or right click/save-as or stream for hi-quality.

The soundtrack is Disturbed - Conflict.  :rock

That was some nice flying against Delerium.  Great job on throttle & flap controls.  Definately a tough kill to land.....trust me, I know. :aok

BTW, how long did it take you to get used to flying with the TrackIR?  Got one on order and I'm gearing myself up for a drop in my k/d ratio.
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

Nice film. :aok

I'm always amazed at how much TrackIR makes a difference in camera-work. TrackIR views will always beat out the standard view system in AH. For the future you do want to make sure that the brightness of the film is at a point that the viewer can see almost everything. Couldn't agree with the choice of music, though. Then again, I refute most music choices around here. ;)

Thanks guys, it didn't take me too long to get used to TrackIR, probably around a week of flying and I was comfortable with it.   Just don't get discouraged if you have trouble getting used to it at first, and fiddle around with the response curves for the 6 degrees of motion, really helps.  As you get better, you can increase the sensitivity.

Yeah music choice is tough, not everyone's going to "feel it" - heh.

Well, all you have to do is watch the 2004 release of Phantom of the Opera. Then you'll know how to please me. :D

Do you mind which sound pack you have for that P51? Sounds good!
