Hey LD if I have your permission Ill host your video on my site. I might need some help writing the article up in a nice format like you but Im willing to help out man. Or I suppose if you make an account and submit an article then i can put it on my front page bro. Ill start uploading your file tonight gonna take a while but yall are worth it. Great job on the movie BTW makes me wish i had the time to dedicate to a virtual aerobatic squad again. contact me through pm or jonscott_396@hotmail.com :thumbup:

Hello all, proud to announce that Ive just uploaded my version of VFAT to Jabog32's server. And Im currently in the works of uploading the same file to my site. I will update you as soon as I have it on my site but for now you can download the zip file from link: http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index....=554&lan g=en my website: http://www.defcon5movie.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=6 It is a very hefty download weighing in at over 200 megs I think. Im currently rendering a lower quality version for a more practical size for you and my website ... hehe. But the good thing is its great quality and I think you will like the video no matter what because I put a lot of hard work into it so I hope you enjoy it. I do apologize for one mistake in particular that I made in the credits. I labeled IAT as a Su27 squadron .... Im well aware that they fly Su33's. So I apologize in advance guys. BTW anyone that I may have missed in the credits , I would like to say you guys did one hell of a show and it gave me goose bumps to sort through all the wonderful footage and make a movie out of it. I tried to fit every squad in and every pilot so please dont hate me if I missed you I was trying to make the best out of what yall gave me. :D Again great job guys this is truly a gifted community that we have here:thumbup:

lol ... funny thing is I was so tired (had been up 24 hours) that i saw that and didnt change it. oh well sorry IAT. BTW I havent downloaded your movie yet LD but I just know im in for a treat ... great job VTB.:thumbup:

Great job jonny I liked it bro. Sorry i missed the vfat normally i would have participated but looks like the show was amazing. Hey btw if you still have the footage of it could i get it from you. and the mod if its not too much trouble bro. thanx man edit: ok nevermind i found all the tracks and stuff on jabog site ... thanx for the cool vid bro.

Yea man I think thats either a bug or the way ED designed the game. Either way they arent going to fix it and the AI arent very user friendly so you will have to get creative man. It is possible that the film maker that you referenced had a few friends online help him out but im not sure. I would like to know myself how he did it as I make movies too.

yea it is a bit cheesy i guess . i was tired though.:cry: the movie itself should be a step up ... for me that is hope everyone likes it. Including you Cali. I still remember your encouragement when I first started. Thanx man it helped.:thumbup: tex

The upcoming episode is nearing completion and I have released this trailer for a sneak peek at the newest movie. Ive learned a lot about making these movies so I hope yall like it. http://www.defcon5movie.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1 thanx for watching:thumbup:

I would just like to announce that my 3rd episode is nearing completion and I have released a trailer for a sneak peek at the newest movie coming out. heres the link to my site feel free to register and download here http://www.defcon5movie.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1 thanx for watching

:surrender: point taken fudd i think i understand what it means to have an oppinion that conflicts with the general consensus .... hehe i always wanted to use that word in a sentence ... CON-SENS-US ....sigh, i think im gonna go work on my sarcasm in the "screenshots and movies" forum.:joystick:

yea woke up early this morning and watched some of the programming its a good show. cant wait to see dogfights tonight:thumbup:

amen brotha:thumbup:

heh ... didnt GI JOE have something similar to that?

Well like this thread says "The SIM put in the players perspective: What should it be?" from my perspective this sim is a test of your character and skill I dont care what loadout you have. And Im sorry to hear that you think flying against a Flanker pilot with a Phoenix missle is bafoonery it seems some of us have accomplished this task although I dont consider Cali a bafoon. He merely rose to the challenge to beat a pilot at his own game and kicked him out the server afterwards , im sure. Which brings me to this , I think your right in some ways Cali. We can agree to disagree. In your server , because it breaks server rules, modded loadouts are cheating. And in my oppinion like i said when i was responding to pilotasso's thread , I think modded loadouts are not cheating. But I wont resort to calling people "bafoons" or the "crackpipe" punchlines that inflame a thread because I respect your oppinion and there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to oppinions its just what we think. The day I give up my right to express my thoughts when someone asks is the day I stop living. :thumbup:

what would you do? Sigh, sadly enough real life took shape and I had to make a decision between spending time with my family or virtual formation flying. Strangely enough that seems to be the point that you just dont get. Simulations were built to test your character , and skill to see how you would react to the unexpected shock of a few real life scenarios and who is to say what can and cant happen. No I cant show you a picture of a Su27 with a Phoenix missle strapped to it but I can show a picture of a F14 with a MIM-23 Hawk Surface to Air missle strapped to it. http://f-14tomcat.persiangig.com/phpNwVmt5AM.jpg (modded loadout wouldnt you think) I wonder what the Iraqi's would have done if "Project Skyhawk" had been a success. Would they have said Thats a modded loadout dont you think? Nothing is impossible just takes someone willing to gain the upper hand right? Not to mention Iran didnt build the F14 we did yet that didnt stop them from using it against Iraq. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-14_Tomcat You think any of those dead Iraqi pilots gave up and said, man the F14 is an American jet and thats not the default Iran jet so Im going to ban you from the war? No they did what any real life pilot would have done in that situation they studied their enemies weaknesses and tried to gain the uppper hand. Its a shame but never the less Cali just proves my point here. We as virtual simmers preah all day about being the best of the best and rising to the call of duty yet you let one guy mod his loadout and suddenly we cant play the game anymore. I thought this was a simulation. A test of one character and skill. Its not like they are invincible you just have to cowboy up and adapt to the situation. Or am I speaking to computer nerds who just want to change the server settings to their liking. You know Cali I question whether you want to test your skill at being a pilot , or do you just want to change the settings to your liking. I dare you to shoot down the next supposed cheater that mods his loadout. Or do you have the skill?

Dude if you want to fly the X-wing and be Darth Vader buy the game. Its not my fault you cant dodge a phoenix missle. Maybe you should use the force Luke ....:megalol: Tex out:D

Well the funny thing about this question that we must not forget is that there are no right or wrong answers here. Its just a matter of oppinion. Im more of a take what i can get type of guy because of the fact that we dont always get what we want in life. Pilotasso you seem pretty persistant in your quest for the perfect simulation that is as close to the real thing as you can get. But I would have to say knowing how dissappointed I would be if I didnt get what I wanted (in regards to realism) I would never be happy with any game. So having said that, if what you say is true , then you and I arent so different after all. Because you can only get as much realism as ED can put out so in reality you accept it. And I will never ask for anymore than they can give because Im accustomed to compromising with what I have. True enough I would like a game that does not allow people to exploit it and ruin the game but some of the exploits that people use are just a test of our own character to see exactly how we might adapt and overcome because when you really analyze real life, which is just as unfair, we must adapt to whatever situation life gives us. So what if somebody straps Aim 54 phoenix missle on an Su-27 and fires it at you. Let the truth be known nothing is impossible. Do you think a real pilot would give up and radio back to HQ complaining that the enemy has an unrealistic loadout? In truth that is a hack but I still dont see this as a cheat. Cheating would be modding his aircraft so that even if you did hit him with a missle it would not damage him, thats cheating. In closing I would have to end with this as this quote is from a previous post that had a different topic but the point I made is still valid here. In short you will in most cases never have what you want. There will always be some guess work involved. And some things are just best left a secret for our own good ... and I can live with that. So bring on the guess work and creative thinking, and not so accurate flight models because in the end we are all human beings capable of mistakes ..... and to be honest ive never flown ANY of these fighter aircraft so what am I really missing? And just who am I to say these simulations arent accurate enough? :D Tex

Ok, I finally have my website up and in a respectable condition. The website is www.defcon5movie.com not much to look at for the moment but im still working at it. Once i get the forum online tonight you can register there and ill keep you posted on my movie progress.

OK just in case anyone is following my movie progress Im hard at work on episode 3 but at the same time trying to buy into a good web hosting site. Ive already tried IX webhosting, and startlogic. IX wanted me to pay too much up front and startlogic ..... well has left me trying to start ... my website that is. Anyway if there is anyone out there reading this please help me find a dependable webhost that i can pay a monthly fee, register a domain with, and have enough disk space, bandwith and so on to host all this myself.:cry: Well thats the update for now ill keep you posted on where my new website will be when I at least have something that shows up when i type in the web adress. thanx for being patient tex:D
