Real footage of near disaster during Axis Scramble at rain soaked runway

[MD_Titus]

i'd say it's a d9, there appears to be a bit of image squishing in action there.

Thank you for the vid MP!

Good to know wat Blip.tv is, so i will never follow a link there again. What an awful site. First this long commercial and when I rewind the piece a bit I get *again* this commercial, and when I hit replay *again*.

May I suggest a site without this nonsense?

May I suggest you use an add blocker and get over it?...

May be Adblock and NoScript extensions if you're using Mozilla Firefox. I didn't see such commercials at all with it.

Coming back to the video, (excellent , Mystic) , did the Dora not touch the groud with the tips of the propeller? If not, just for milimeters, I think.

I'm thinking: Wow, I'm glad it all went well, but then again, perhaps they all got shot down a few minutes later.

Thanks for sharing

Seen that footage a few times.

Definitely hair raising takeoff conditions but calling it a "near disaster" seems a bit sensational.

i too found it intensely annoying.

good job helping him out with ad block references.

oh wait, you didnt do that, you just took a cheap shot?

your response is a perfect, perfect example of internet forum behaviour.

didnt someone IL2 related once say something about being allergic to these forums....?

after this sim is released, i will leave this place far behind due to people exactly like you staining the experience just too many times.

I too can't decide on whether they are D-9s or Ta-152s.

On the matter of the website

Blip.tv was actually good for long videos, because they allow a bigger video duration (hence the commercials to cover the bandwidth costs). I've been watching a certain starcraft2 commentary over there that can run an hour long. It's like watching a football/sports show for a video game, post match analysis type of stuff on 2-3 consecutive games played by professional players (as in, they often get paid to play in tournaments), so the videos tend to run a bit long.

Until youtube started allowing more than 10 minutes of duration per video for non-affiliated uploaders (something to do with preventing the upload of copyrighted material like movies, they now lifted this restriction since they claim their new algorithms can prevent this), sites like blip.tv where the only alternative for broadcasting full fledged web-based shows. If i'm going to sit through a 1 hour clip and have to let it buffer for a bit as well, i won't mind a few seconds of commercials.

Of course, the situation is reversed when you want to watch a 1 minute clip and you have 15 seconds of commercials to sit through

D9s for sure. The video is 16:10, while the original was most likely 4:3. The picture got simply stretched making it appear wings and fuselages being longer then they really were.
