Hi guys, thanks for the feedback on the video.
The lack of P-51 cockpit really is just an oversight on my part, nothing more or less :(
When I was putting the footage together I was concentrating on Terrain, imagery, action, etc, etc and doing it all after learning the cameras (well basic learning of cameras at the moment) in about 6-hours total!
Having never used DCS before, it was a huge learning curve and I just missed an angle that I realise others would have liked to have had in the footage.
The one difficulty I was having is trying to get it across as a WW2 promo rather than a P-51 promo, which is why I tried to utilise the Dora in the action and steer away from too much ground footage (as we don't have the EDGE engine ready). With the Dora in flight, it meant I could steer away from the Mustang being the main subject....but it is pretty much the main aircraft shown.
I'm considering putting together a DCS P-51 promo as a standalone video, but first I need to make some skins. So that's going to be fun ;)
I have to be honest, I had not used the DCS P-51 until last Monday, so the whole video was made in the time from installing it and uploading it yesterday....once more, apologies about missing out on the cockpit shot :(
BTW, I have to be honest, I do really, really like the Mustang, the model, the textures and when I saw the scene where the Mustangs flew over the mountains and the drop tanks fall away....blimey, I think a little bit of wee came out! ;)
I think there is certainly something I can do with DCS as a stand-alone short movie....I have to say, I am a little smitten with this as my WW2 veteran friends in the Checkertail Clan, flew this aircraft and it's just awesome ;)
Cheers, MP
