Instructional vids from Headspace

[Headspace]

I've added captions to the JDAM video, but none of the other videos have them. Based on feedback I've received, I"m going to hold off on captions. There will be two upcoming videos.

 

1. A short one on how to add the JTAC with the mission editor.

2. Dealing with medium range SAMs.

 

The MRFCS/Trim part 2 video is still on hold pending some final resolution with the FM or a later beta.

 

The SAM video probably won't come out until the end of the month, since I'm going to be gone for two weeks. Just wanted to give people the heads up.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to both of those, in particular the JTAC creation in the ME.

There's already been a video about this actually:

Heh, yeah just seen that, but thanks :thumbup:

 

Hope he gets it up on YT soon as I'm away from my PC at the mo.

Alright, figured you guys deserved an update. The next video is definitely going to be SAM suppression. I figured this would be a 'fantasy scenario' involving the A-10, but I've been reading Smallwood's Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War. Believe it or not, A-10s were actually tasked for SEAD-style missions during the GW when dedicated SEAD assets were overtasked. Amazing, right? Hoping to get this video completed before the end of the month after I get back from vacation.

[CrashEd]

Sounds awesome mate :thumbup:

 

Enjoy your vacation in the meantime.

Can we get a Vid on how to use radios? That would help out alot.

I plan on eventually releasing a development video of the Teamspeak 3 plugin I'm working on in action, which will have some radio use involved.

[Blacknemisis]

THANKS!!! For now I will just use easy comms lol!

what I want to know is why you seem to experience ZERO FPS drop when you active the maverick seeker.

 

I have what I consider to be a pretty powerfull pc and everything is smooth until I select the mav and its now slideshow time.

 

I know there are threads on this.............how are you not seeing this??

 

 

my pc:

 

win xp

4gigs ram

Athlon PHenom II x4 955 Black Edition

eVga Nvidia GTX 460 OC version 1gig

[CrashEd]

Probably not the place to discuss this, but...Your processor is no slouch and your card is probably the same as mine. I notice no FPS penalty when using the TGP or MAV seeker. Could be a Win7 thing? (better hyperthreading - just a guess).

 

May be worth running some system diagnostic tools to see if you have any bottlenecks.

Actually, you guys, my processor is a Q9550. While it's on the high-end of the pre-i7 era, it's not what you would call "cutting edge." It's more than enough to run DCS though.

 

But here's the story: There's a lot that goes into the video production, voiceover work, etc that you don't see in the final product. One such technique (and we've had discussions about this--I believe some of the other people such as Tyger who do vids use similar methods) is to record in 1/2 or 1/4 speed and then speed it up in post, then overlay the original audio. That's probably what you're seeing here. It's bad form to distract the viewer with framerate stutter, even if it happens on virtually every setup.

Yep.

I record at 1/4 speed, 10fps locked, then speed up x 4 and add audio file as a seperate track with narration.

 

End result is a very smooth video. Downside? well 87 GB of raw footage (FRAPS) to record my Black Shark video!

 

;-)

Thank you headspace for the reply. I hope I didn't sidetrack a great thread.

Hehe, you should've seen my "FRAPS" folder when i was done recording for Project 10. My oh my! :D

no doubt cato, no doubt! my BlackShark video was only 4:30 and yeah it was like, 87 GB so god knows how big some of your videos are. :thumbup:

hehe how big was it?

[Headspace]

Just a quick update to let you guys know that the delay in getting the SAM interdiction video out is due to the removal of Nevada. However, Beta 3 also removed the ghost RWR threats, which were an annoyance, so it's not all bad.

[RSharpe]

Video 1 is fantastic.

 

I need some help though as I'm not quire sure how to clear markpoints after you're done with one run and would like to reset for a second? Does anyone have some advice?

 

THanks

Been watching some of the very good training vids, thanks Headspace! In grnd attack with pod (doing one of my own) I can't get the flashing "L" for laser designate to flash. Obviously I'm over looking some small thing. Any help please.

 

Thank,

Just been watching your Maverick guides, excellent work! I was having serious issues using the TGP in conjunction with the Mav but it's all sorted now after seeing your vid. Going to try the multiple JDAM drop now. Looking forward to your SAM vid when its out!
