hi guys do you know of any program that you to get different angles and too replay footage to make video making easier in DCS

You can fly a mission and then when you are done you can watch the track. When you are watching the track you don't have to work at flying the plane so you can play with camera angles to record what you want to see.

 

The pros to this system are:

 

1. You don't have to worry about recording while you are flying. When I'm playing games and recording I'm too often worried about making what I'm trying to show happen and I tend to use up a lot of hard drive space with video of me NOT accomplishing my goal. In DCS it records the track and you can then go back in and record only the parts you want to record (assuming you remember about where they are). You can also save the track for later if you want. You can also take control of the track, or replay the mission easily enough.

 

2. You can fast forward through the track to skip parts you don't need.

 

The cons to this system are:

 

1. Unless I'm mistaken, as of right now there isn't a way to back a track up. I'm hoping in the future they make it so that you can (assuming I'm correct that there isn't such a thing now). This means that if you miss a shot or don't get the camera angle you want you have to start over.

 

2. The camera views are a bit limited. I tend to use the fly by but that gets old, and I use the view that shows your plane up close and then I just rotate the view around until I get what I want and then zoom in or out to get it just right. This is tough to do sometimes and it's nearly impossible to keep right when your target is turning or moving a lot. Make sure you get the shot set up before you need the video recording. I'd like to see some more camera views in the future. If someone knows how to lock an external view that could be helpful too. It would be nice if you could define a game logic as a camera location and "lock" it to the aircraft. Then you could define the angle to look where you wanted in relation to your aircraft. If you could set up 3 or 4 of those you could get some very reliable and very cool shots.

 

Good luck.
