How to Export Video (HUD Camera + TCS Footage)


DSplayer

Recommended Posts

I've seen other people make either LANTIRN, TCS, and/or HUD camera videos. How does one do that in the F-14?

Basically, they are all the same, with various degrees of difficulties...

 

1. Live -- run software like OBS to record your action, or if you fly in VR like me, some headset like Quest 2 allows recording inside the headset. Part of my latest video, the combat part, is done live and recorded by the headset;

 

2. Track file -- fly a mission, save the track file, replaying while recording using software, choose the view(s) that you want. But the tricky part is, F-14 is notorious in not exactly replaying what you did. It is a known problem on the DCS part. Some suggests flying the mission using a dedicated DCS server and play the server track file.

 

Hope it helps. I think the experts can show you more.

The HUD tape videos you see are “produced” videos. They shoot a scene in 2D with no head tracking, record their screen, then add the effects in video editing software. It would be awesome if there was a HUD viewport that could be placed on a second monitor and then recorded cleanly regardless of what was going on in the main viewport, but alas that does not exist.

I have managed (with community help) to export my HUD to a second monitor. If you do that you could capture that screen alone with OBS but as I'm writing this , I'm thinking that what you probably are wanting is your enemy captured in screen within your HUD image. If that's the case you'd need a full screen capture and edit the dickens out of it afterwards.
