Microsoft GAVE US PERMISSION!!!
Sludge:
Raz...
Where the hell you been?! Havent see you on here in a while... Over at that VRS place? Haha.
Simon...
Same for you, where you been hiding these days?! We need to find some time to fly in the multiplayer. I havent seen your "stick skills" with your new x52. Nor have I done any serious "paddles" in a while. Dont make me get out the grade book.
To all...
Once I get my new processor installed and running, Ill make a 30sec fraps video with the new HUD and Blackbox on the Sludge using the TopGun mission that I have setup and post it up here. Might have NUKE my harddrive, then get everything restarted, you never know??... so be patient. Im gonna do it this week.
BTW, its a PhenomIIx4 955 BE, and its on the way from newegg.com, so we will see how well it gets here and it should be a snap to install, then get it up and running.
Later

SUBS17, in my mind anyway clearly there is a before and after the 'magic new HUD' in FSX Hornet ops. In your first video you have done well to be on centreline and stayed there, difficult to see other parameters but it looked good enough in the circumstances. However no carrier pilot is content except with the 'perfect pass' from the LSO and even then the pilot probably knows stuff he could have done better on that trap. ;D I'll look at the second video now. [Is not that original HUD just awful!? :D In comparison to the new improved clear HUD ;D ]
___________
2nd video critique (tongue in cheek as always): Continuing an approach with WAVE OFF flashing is never a good idea but we are in the 'before good HUD era' here. I reckon you must have flared at the end to avoid the ramp (going low again). I do free deck take offs if that is what we see... just start from the inevitable 'taxi 1' and hoik it off ASAP. ;D
Razgriz:
Sludge, go ahead and give me a call on skype. I can explain there! :P

Thanks for the critique its always a good laugh hearing this stuff considering the fact that every 30s I was pushing a button to make those videos with Fraps hence the low FPS. I tried to make a similar video using the VRS SH in the Jet canyon race but the insane FPS kills that idea for now. ;D
SpazSinbad:
SUBS17, fair enough about 'free' FRAPS. Why not get a 'paid for' copy if you are serious about making FSX videos? For sure recording with FRAPS whilst flying is a frame rate killer. You should make that clear. Nevertheless the video shows some 'learning moments' - even if unintended. ;D
