The Cool Video Thread

Great find. There's a part about 0:25 seconds that's an interior modeler's GOLD. Thats the perspective that I remember from the sim but that NO ONE in flight sims has gotten correct yet. Look at that teenie tiny cute little Indexer. Haha.
Also, check out this guys other Y/T videos, very good squadron-made stuff. Definately shows how a deployed fleet squadron lives on the boat.... gotta pass the days somehow.
Take Care.

Sludge,
Long time bro. Yeah I like his other Y/T videos too. Especially the one he preflights, starts up, and taxis to the Cat, all from the perspective of the pilot. Pretty cool.
Agree the indexer needs to be updated to the correct size. I might try to build an indexer myself, did you see my thread DIY HUD on the forum? I built a HUD prototype since I mainly fly in 2D HUD view, and I might make my own AoA indexer to complete the build.

Yeah, those videos rock. I've done a few screenshot saves of the cockpit/HUD, so that if they pull the videos I have them for further reference. Man, I wish I could code/model, so I could make an FSX C/D Hornet that has the correct eyepoint, perspective, and HUD build.
I havent looked at it, I'll take a gander this weekend and see what I can come up with from your post. Also, we've never heard back from Virtuali about the possibility of "creating" an added interior model for the HUD projection plane onto the existing interior model. That would rock, if we could do it, as it would work in the VC.
[EDIT] I have seen the DIY HUD thread, sorry, Im old... forgot about that post. Re-reading. Super cool setup!!

The best uninterrupted video I've seen in awhile. Great air to air refueling (1:21), dang that looks hard. Even better is a full carrier landing starting at 2:10. Neat to see all the small corrections being made in real time with out all the fancy editing and cut aways you normally see in these videos. How do you feel the relative speeds compare between what you see in the video and what it looks like in FSX? Would be neat to do a side by side comparison of the carrier landing in the video and FSX carrier landing, let me see if I can do that. Enjoy!
