Bigger Boeing Action

Soooo.... I'm starting to get the hang of some custom camera views in FS Recorder but it's a tedious process because I'm also experimenting with Fraps and refreshing my technique at Kai Tak. So as you can imagine, the cutting room floor is waist deep at the moment :lol:

Anyway, I salvaged a few scraps that might be of interest. As Peter always says: Select HD and full screen (but easy on the volume!) for the best experience.

I've disallowed comments on YouTube in case you were thinking of posting anonymously :lol:

Yep, selected full screen HD and very impressive it was. I liked your previous HK approach video too. I must say you are a braver man than I - I've owned Fly Tampa's HK & Kai Tak for ages and haven't yet attempted that landing, even in a default Cessna. 8) :lol:

Oh yes, I remember you liked that one, Paul. The long term plan is to build on that early one and create a masterpiece :rock: Problem is that the original was on FS9 and now I've gone over to FSX without upgrading my laptop. So with the FSX 707 and scenery if I try for a close up fraps slows it to a slide show. The cockpit view close to the airport is impossible :doh: Although it's fine in-game.

So what I'm doing now is familiarising myself with the techniques ready for when I upgrade. Just waiting for Windows 8 - meanwhile I'll keep practising that Checkerboard approach. I generally get the approach right but when I straighten up somebody moves the runway 20 feet to one side :rant:

Apropos of nothing, I have actually experienced that landing from the jump seat of a BOAC Freighter, although I haven't got a record of whether it was VPB. It's a one in three chance!

Ian :)

EDIT: I've just played it back by streaming it from my iPad over wifi to the telly and the quality is terrific. I love technology!

Ian, not sure if this means anything, but I read somewhere that if you record at half speed (or maybe it was that you ran FSX at half speed ) and then speed everything up to normal, you can get rid of a lot of stutter. Something like that... *-)

Thanks, Paul, I remember messing about with that a while back but didn't have the patience. If I remember correctly it involves another piece of software and doesn't record the sound properly either. There's no point in spending time chasing it just now - especially as the sun's finally come out. It'll have to wait until the winter, by which time I'll have forgotten all this and have to start again :lol:
