  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Landing Video Thread

Yes. Landing videos. Let's see 'em! Post aircraft type/model, FS vendor, airport, weather conditions (like cross wind!), and realism settings. Realism settings are important. My friend's cat can land with crash detection turned off... Also, the video must be from the cockpit. You can post another, taken from outside, via the replay from FS Recorder or some such, because they are cool too, but... The primary entry must be from the cockpit.
 
For example: Aeroplane Heaven B-17F. Landing at Jacquinot Bay (JCB), Papua New Guinea. Pacific Island Simulations PNG Bush Pilot scenery installed. Real weather loaded, 20 knot crosswind. All aircraft realism settings full right.

 
Last part of the video is the landing
Carenado B200 (with modified FDE)
FlyTampa St. Barthelemy
REX textures
Default Fair weather

on a related subject, how can I record a video so I can share it here? :)

I use Fraps for capturing video on the computer. If you want to cut and splice multiple video clips to make scenes, then you would need some video editing software. I use AVS Video editor for that. I also run my Fraps output files through AVS just to convert them into something with a smaller file size, of course the resolution then suffers. I'm still learning the art of flight sim video making.
 
I was a little "wary" of starting this thread. Posting videos takes more time and effort than simple screen shot images, and that will limit the participation. As for my other concern, surely there are more than a couple members of a flight sim site that would want to show off their landing skills. Right..?

Good point PRB, along with opening up the critique responses.
 
All these years and never motivated to record anything in Flight Simulator until now.

AH L-10A on short final into Waukesha Co KEUS. Default FSX somewhat calm weather. Full realism (sliders are always full right).

Had to compress the clip down so the nice resolution went poof!

If I can re-motivate, will try something longer with a few edits as Fraps seems to max out at 30 seconds per clip. :biggrin-new:
