Ras 0 Posted June 14, 2010 I did this one first thing this morning. No cuts at all. Single shot Campaign video starting from first contact. Starts a little slow but then the action gets pretty good. There's one pass I made against a DVII that I don't know how we didn't crash into one another. We literally must have missed one another by less than a foot at over 120 mph. It was a rush! Hellshades Campaign Video #5 (6:46) HD Hope you enjoy it Hellshade I love how you have to cut your engine at about 2 minutes 55 seconds to avoid the collision. Nice video again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellshade 110 Posted June 15, 2010 Hellshades Campaign Video #6 (7:37) HD I'm starting to see why so many of the great Aces never survived the war. It's completely unforgiving up there and your fortunes can change in an instant. Enjoy Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks Scouse, yep, I tried the lowest rez sttings for the first time and I was amazed at the loss of detail compared to the middle setting. So then I tried the Hi-Rez and saw so much nice detail. You might not see bullit holes in Hi-rez with OFF-P3 but damage still happens and the crates are superb.

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted June 15, 2010 . Outstanding screenies everyone. And Rickitycrate, how did you manage those close-ups?! Wowzers. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted June 15, 2010 . "A split second given to pull the trigger as a plane zips across the sights: an eternity spent to try and twist out of the path of the bullets. An entire lifetime won or lost in less than an eye blink." (to quote myself) More B-E-A-U-tiful movies there Hellshade. Thank you for creating and sharing these exciting video vignettes. Well done, Sir. Also, I'm betting you can make a meatloaf last a long time, given how thinly you like to slice things. Cheers! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted June 15, 2010 Hi Lou! Well to answer your question... I mostly take my pics during deliberate photo flights. Most of my pics tend to have a purpose. IE getting a pic suitable for my beer lables. So in this case, as many times, I fly way too close but I want a tight shot of 2 planes. When I think a good pic is possible I Pause. I then cycle through all possible views and I try to compose what to my eye is a nice pic. Besides cycling the views I pan in and out. That pic of the DVII pilot was a max zoom-in shot while we were already in spitting distance. The shots with the Spad and Fokker so close were taken just prior to collision. If one looks you can see the DVII's rudder poking up through the upper wing plane of the Spad. I send the picks to Photobucket. I find Photobucket has all the tools I need for editng the pics and providing the image links for forum posting. I always try to crop the pics to aid in composition and to eliminate any on screen messages. If I take pics while Pause is flashing I wait until Pause is not displayed. I use the free FRAPS program. So there, more info than cared for but maybe someone will get a new idea for thier pic taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted June 16, 2010 I got assigned a ground attack mission on a hun airfield. I lost my flight somewhere and decided to proceed to take out as many hun planes on the ground as I could until I was either killed by AA & ground fire or I ran out of ammo. I got a few planes and the germans got the grass on their field mowed by my propeller. Hellshades Campaign Video #7 (7:37) HD Enjoy Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellshade 110 Posted June 19, 2010 On a lone wolf patrol I flew high over two flights of Fokker DVIIs totalling 9 aircraft. A flight of 6 and a flight of 3. After identifying all of the enemy planes, I flew back to the flight of 6 and dove down on them in my SE5a Viper. Glory has a high price but it was a hell of a fight.

Olham 164 Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Carrick, as Cameljockey said - there's where it is now. But you can go to "controls" and assign a different key to make it easier - like the "space bar".

Hellshade 110 Posted June 20, 2010 Flying for the French, ESC 84 squadron, 6 April 1917 in Nieuport 17s. We were assigned to bomb a Rail Road station, however I found a couple of extra targets of opportunity after the primary target had been hit. Definately one of the more successfuly ground attack missions I have ever flown! Let me know what you think of my unorthodox attack timing for making a strafing run. It seems to have worked very well! Hellshades Campaign Video #9 (7:27) HD Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
