Eagle Dynamics Tribute

Eagle Dynamics Tribute (and Hornet Teaser)

 

In light of the long and highly anticipated F/A-18C Hornet and the merge to a new era of DCS environment

I dedicate this cinematic to the teams that work hard and passionate for almost three decades to bring flight simulation

to new levels and feed our addiction for combat aviation.

Thank you, Eagle Dynamics!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Details about the cinematic:

 

Lots of shots are made with a "technique" that I enjoy using privately and mostly never publish the final results.

Take a screenshot (paint out the watermark if necessary) then replace or animate the background, replace/animate displays and dials and switches etc.

In other words "the most inefficient way to produce a shot" ...because I have tons of fun doing it that way.

This time I kept at least the direction for once and actualy published the result.

If people enjoy it, a shot breakdown for some of the shots will follow and will be shown on youtube or in twitch streams.

 

EDIT: For the first shot breakdown I moved to "screenshots and videos"

Hope you get a kick out of it!

 

 

Fly safe,

Thank you, Coltrogue and Lumberhax for flying for some of the shots in this!

 

 

If you are new to DCS or you're just looking for people to fly with or get nerdy about aviation, join us in SPLASH ONE GAMING!

The community to introduce to this sim and polish the highest level of fun out of DCS.

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks ED!

[MemphisBelle]

Thats a great Cinematic, very impressive. As much impressive as the DCS Software is, so thank you both ED and Weltensegler. :thumbup::pilotfly:

[Jumbik]

It looks so good! It must have taken a lot of time and work to do it like this. The animation of the displays is simply incredible.

 

And to be honest, now I want my bobble head too! :D

[mr_mojo97]

Cool. I wish we had some of those animations in game too.

[Precog]

Fantastic!! We need to get those hands/arm in VR after seeing that!

That was an absolutely awesome teaser. If you don't mind me asking, how did you add in the hand motions?

[VIKBELL]

That was really cool thank you for your work.

[otaolive]

I want that "waggle head" :-)

[vu733gt]

Great work. Would like to see this video longer, but I know that it require a lot of time. Best wishes

[Red Dragon-DK]

Stunning video. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

[Weltensegler]

Thank you, gentlemen! Glad you like it.

 

Looks like I will make a shot breakdown for some of them soon then.

Won't post that in this thread here though.

 

I extended the meaning of the term "teaser" a bit so please don't give ED a hard time with features or preorder products :) ...its meant for entertainment.

 

To the recurring question about the hands:

They are my arms in front of an old gopro.

 

cheers,
