DTWD Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Nice...and I got my name in lights! :D It was a good ending, I loved that flight home and the looking left and right in the cockpit. You need to get yourself some good video editing software now for any future work. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I don't have one large combination download... maybe I should look at Virtual dub and I can make one. Head to http://hosted.filefront.com/cobrabase and all 4 files are there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Flyby Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Cobra, you do have style! You tell a very good story too. I hope you'll have time to produce more movies in the future. I look forward to your next efforts. Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:

I look forward to your next efforts. Flyby out Most kind sir. I have a unique style despite a lack of software. I need to take a break from it for a while and just fly. Thanks to all of you for your nice words. I became very discouraged after I posted these on youtube and received single stars. I was going to give up but decided to not care what other people thought and finish what I started. I had an idea and I saw it through. The idea for the name "Zond" from the name of one of the most frightening Soviet rockets during the cold war. It was a simple rocket for sending 2 men to orbit the moon but the mission never happened. It was discussed in depth in the book "Moonshot." The name sounded so ominous. Had to use it.

Flyby Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 well take some time off. fly a little. kill a little. die a little. then when inspiration hits you again, make another movie. Interesting bit about where the title came from. ;) Flyby out. The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
Blacknemisis Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Question? When you lock up the hornets I see that your cursor was moving pretty fast. Was you using your mouse. And if not how do you make your cursor move fast like that, because mines move slow as hell lol!
cobrabase Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 Ah! Good question friend! The answer is... I have the mouse emulated on the throttle stick of my X52. I had the exact same problem you had for a while there but the X52 allows you to change the speed in for cursor inputs. If you are talking about when I have the helmet-mounted site online then... I use Trackpoint IR head-tracking. The great thing about it is that with the Flanker and Fulcrum's helmet mounted sights you can actually use your head movement to find a bandit in the sky and lock him up quickly. Just like in real life! Love it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

cobrabase Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 I am going to be thick here...but how? How do I move the cursor fast? Under the options menu at the start up screen go to the Input settings of the sim. There is a list of input devices to choose from like keyboard, joystick, mouse, etc. If you set your mouse controller to handle target cursor control and then set your ministick on your throttle in your Saitek X52 macro profile to emulate mouse movements you will have essentially taken the mouse-controlled target selector cursor and put it under your left thumb as opposed to the mouse on the table. Saitek's macro profiler then allows you to control the speed of cursors directed by the ministick using settings in a slider interface. Want the cursor to move fast? Slide the slider to the right. The reverse if you want the target selector to move slower. Set your preferences and then shoot 'dem bad boys down! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DTWD Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I see...that is good to know. I didn't actually mean that bit, but I am glad we got our wires crossed because thats usefull to know. No what I was actually reffering to is using your TiR to lock onto targets? Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

No what I was actually referring to is using your TiR to lock onto targets? HA!!! Yeah cool... my head automatically locks on to targets when they come into view 0 yeah right!! Nope... communications breakdown. N'ah... not what I'm trying to say. At first I thought that he was asking about how I killed the second hornet...I used the helmet mode in the sim during the mission but then forgot that the HUD wasn't seen in the movie during the second kill. I love using the helmet mounted site and Track IR. Awesome! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DTWD Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I love using the helmet mounted site and Track IR. Awesome! Is that the mini hud your refering to? If not what is it? Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cobrabase Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 Is that the mini hud your refering to? If not what is it? No... the minihud is a cheat so I turned it off. Try looking in the manual regarding combat modes. One is called the helmet mounted sight. Turn it on and you will see a circle in the center of your monitor. ANY aircraft within the gimble limits of the IRST can now be locked and fired upon. Combine that ability with being able to move your head in the cockpit with the track IR system and you are a powerful pilot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
