Awesome vid mate!!!

IL-2 CoD is the *hit and I go all :mad::mad::mad: if I don't get my TrackIR back ASAP!

Will though need a new graphics card too to get graphcis you got, but I DON'T CARE SINCE I AM HAPPY THERE IS POTENTIAL EVEN THOUGH MY COMPUTER CAN'T SHOW IT.

Someday I will have the computer for maxed graphics and it is better that way than to have a computer but not a game for it.

Just give Spanish Civil War or Winter War/Continuation War. Can't wait to get a chance to defend Helsinki and Finland! Or maybe I barely can - shooting down Tommies shall do for now :grin::grin::grin:

:cool:

Nice vid mate, especially watching it in 1080p; I'm very interested to know did you use the in-built recorder and conversion to avi, or fraps, and if so what did you use to convert it, what codec etc for You tube?

Thanks for all your nice comments!

I use MSI Afterburner (free proggie that works with nvidia cards, get the latest beta version) for the video capturing. Just run it in the background and turn it on when I want to film something. Afterburner creates huge avi-files which I then directly upload to youtube, which does some kind of automatic conversion that does degrade the quality quite a bit, but well, it is web video, so that makes sense I guess...

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that info, I actually use Afterburner, but only for keeping an eye on my 480GTX temps with some of the more stressful progs, I never realised it could be used for capturing video play, cheers, you learn summat new everyday here ;)

edit: The version I have has screen capture, but I dont see video capture, is that a new additon in the latest beta versions, or have i missed something?

edit2: ah, just checked with google , it is recent - hence your comment to get latest beta!

This time I recorded as I played (and not from a track recording) so this is exacly how I saw it. Except, of course, for the much lower video and audio quality that you get when you youtubeify your recording. The original avi-file is 14 gigs! Anyway, it still looks quite good in full-screen and at 1080p I think.

I put some turbulence into the mission. Makes for more fun and realistic gunnery, and landings are a bit more of a handful as well.

As Fearless_Frog said somewhere, attacking any plane from dead six is really not the best solution. That might be, but that's all I manage so far, so that's what you get!

Hope you like, comments very welcome! - Especially on my woeful engine management... - Any better way to get some more oomph out of the DaimlerBenz'es?

You really look like you know what you are doing and it kind of looks like you might have had previous flight experience or just an avid simulation fan. Anyway a couple of tips... when you are in a turn you should look at your turn slip indicator... its the top middle instrument just below the sight, you want to center the ball... *think Step ON The Ball*

Also it looks like your oscillations up and down while shooting are probably from not properly trimming the aircraft. When you let go of the stick the plane should be trimmed to have the sight level with what you are trying to shoot. Use trim alot. I re-trim my aircraft quite a bit depending on what phase of flight I am in. Otherwise excellent video and excellent flying.

Freycinet,

how did you get those nice clouds to show up in game? I have the same difficulty when aimimg, the precesion moves with the " flight stick " elude me.

Thanks in advance

Undpilot, that's good advice, thank you!

I do try to trim the aircraft to level flight at some point, but it was a rather hurried sortie, so I don't think I got it as well as I wanted. I never really bothered with trim in any flight sim but somehow it is much more important in CoD, if you want to fly well and not bleed too much energy. I often note that I cannot catch up with a bogey, and then I trim up and catch him...

I was also told to just correct with rudder and not ailerons when shooting at the enemy and that really did help. Took some unwanted movements out of the equation and thereby simplified it.

Am working on a similar video, should be coming up soon!

Frequentflyer, re: the clouds, I just chose the setting in the FMB where I made the mission... I don't remember the name of the setting, but it was max. clouds...

Nice Vid. And funny comments. Tnx for sharing!
