BlueRidgeDx Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Jeezus. I watched the first two videos, but didn't bother with the third. I felt like I was watching a NASCAR race. A never-ending left turn isn't exactly what I would call BFM. "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col.

A never-ending left turn isn't exactly what I would call BFM. You could zoom out of a 2 circle but that might give your opponent a snap shot in the process. You could also extend straight ahead and try to come back on neutral head on. Anyway, those performers are among the very best in FC and it's always easier to talk BFM than actually doing it.

Dell_Murrey-RUS Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Jeezus. I watched the first two videos, but didn't bother with the third. I felt like I was watching a NASCAR race. A never-ending left turn isn't exactly what I would call BFM. These players are strong enough in WVR (dogfight) and when the fight is on the same type of aircraft and the level of players is enough to fend off a variety of tricks in the BFM, this type of fight often and just like what you saw in the videos. :) 1 vs 1 Guns Only tournament highlights available @ http://sa-sim.com/?p=4764 Great BFM demonstrations ;) I'm understand that this is not the full video and cut themselves out of fights. But looking at the video I have a question, why such a poor quality video (at 720p)? I also have the impression that the video of the "point of view" is modified as know that Kot and Zerol flying with TrackIR. And the video shows that the movement is not always similar to the logical view of the movement. For example, in a battle with "Zerol vs SuperMutt" sometimes Zerol looks away from the enemy, while his opponent at the turn of the attack. Incredibly strange.

But looking at the video I have a question, why such a poor quality video (at 720p)? I've most likely forgotten to switch to high graphics settings when capturing the fights.

Dell_Murrey-RUS Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I've most likely forgotten to switch to high graphics settings when capturing the fights. I am talking about the final video quality. Simulator graphics settings are good. When I watch (on my TV) the videos then image fades in various artifacts. The feeling that we watching the video quality 240p. :( Can not you make a video with less distortion? For example, using Fraps with converting source video in VirtualDub with AVC/H264 codec. :) Some examples of 720p video with better total quality: , , . Nothing has been edited, all footage is recorded from original submitted tracks. Then it looks very strange when virtual pilot is looking in the direction of his opponent. Where can I download original tracks of fightings?

I can't share anyone's track publicly outside of the official SA videos. Please ask respective pilots to send you original tracks.

FLANKERATOR Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Probably 2nd or 3rd weekend of September. It also depends on when the next patch will be released as the current version suffers from critical MP stability issues. 1.2.4 was way better than 1.2.5 MP wise... Meanwhile, Greg is trying to lighten the mission for "Phoenix's Nest" as grounds units seem to cause instant CTD's.

FLANKERATOR Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yes me too, I 've come across a thread showing how to roll back to a previous version, we can always do that if necessary, in case next patch takes too long.
