Just having fun

[Ironhand]

Had a little play time today. I enjoy the Flanker's ability to climb and to turn and, so, that's what I did. Not an air show routine--I'm not precise enough for that--just fun. I left the "flub" in. I forgot that the aircraft would settle, when I retracted the air brake. Luckily I didn't touch down hard enough to break the retracting landing gear. Or, maybe I did and the damage modeling of it sucks.

 

Anyway, it was fun creating a video again. But I definitely have to play around with codecs, etc. Not the best result but I decided to put it out there, anyway. It's on the Flankertraining Youtube Channel. Here, too, of course, assume the coding works:

Thanks. So that's the trick. :)

Nice to see your videos again Rich. See... that's the same concern I had with the landing gear of the flanker...seems too tough...try doing that touch and bump with the F-15 and it will break... with the Su-25T and Su-25, the gear definitely shows some nice element damage, whereas the pistons and pivots on the flanker gear are completely intact. Although, it does seem now the gear can bend...but the damage still seems lacking compared to other aircraft.

Nice video! Thanks for that. Here's to hoping there's more to come from you! :)

It's a nice video, but unfortunately made a lot less enjoyable by the fairly heavy fps drops. Hoping you can get those sorted and it would be great to see more videos from you.

Thank you for that!

Well flown Sir! :thumbup:

Thanks all. :)

 

Humbug,

 

Yes. I'm going to definitely have to figure something out. It may be that the only worthwhile solution is to build a new PC. I built my current rig about 5 or 6 years ago and it's getting very long in the tooth. I can fly OK on lower settings. It's running the replay and recording that's the main issue.

I know how it feels. I recently upgraded from a 5 year old computer as well (gfx card was about 1 year) and I went from 20 something fps with a lot of stutters to constant 60 fps and the difference is simply amazing. I instantly become a much better pilot just from that alone. My wallet still hurts but it was absolutely worth it. Once you get to play the game completely smoothly you just can't understand how you could stand the low fps and stutters that you had gotten so used to. Looking forward to more flanker footage from you!
