Actually I don't see that, on video 13/14 @ 2:00 I see a big wet smear through the middle of the lens which proves it's filmed with a camera that has a smear on the lens and honestly if you go to the website I don't see why they would spend so much time to do this just to fake it with CGI. Yeah, it looks a little bizarre but since this is covered over in the Netherlands in news media and print maybe someone who speaks Dutch can shed more light on it and since it seems that it was on the front page of MSN it will probably fall apart under close scrutiny. _________________________ Windows 7 32 SP1 Gigabyte GA770 probably obsolete already AMD Phenom II X4 3.1Ghz really an X3 unlocked and overclocked ATI HD 5830 1Gb 256 bit it was cheap 4 x 1Gb GSkill 1333Mhz looks pretty on the MB X-Fi Xtreme Creative Soundcard - cheap pair of headphones "She put carbolic in my coffee, turpentine in my tea, Strychnine in my biscuits, Lord but she didn't hurt me."

Quote: So, where do I stand on the issue of real or fake? I said I would leave that up to you, didn’t I? Let me just say that there is nothing in this video that indicates it must be a fake. Looked cool to me but i'm no expert. _________________________ My il2 page Seelowe Campaign Cliffs of Dover page CloD My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Vitesse Member Registered: 04/24/06 Posts: 1308 Loc: Devon UK	I wouldn't like to call this one way or the other. Instinct says fake, but it doesn't have the usual obvious flaws. A few things raised questions - The motion of the wings does not appear enough to generate the required lift and I'd expect much more headcam movement for someone who was working hard. When he lands there is an onlooker conveniently blocking the point of touchdown and it seems his landing run went on for quite a while. The question over this chap's identity doesn't help, either. Will it all turn out to be an advertising stunt?

KRT_Bong It's KRT not Kurt Senior Member Registered: 11/05/07 Posts: 2500 Loc: Gulf Coast of Florida	Yeah I agree it is fake, didn't see it at first but now after reviewing all the experts points of interest now I just want to get a large mob to go tar and feather this guy and drop him off a cliff "don't forget to flap your wings..." The internet is full of lies and deceptions it's no wonder people can get away with posting "reel" stuff over reality. _________________________ Windows 7 32 SP1 Gigabyte GA770 probably obsolete already AMD Phenom II X4 3.1Ghz really an X3 unlocked and overclocked ATI HD 5830 1Gb 256 bit it was cheap 4 x 1Gb GSkill 1333Mhz looks pretty on the MB X-Fi Xtreme Creative Soundcard - cheap pair of headphones "She put carbolic in my coffee, turpentine in my tea, Strychnine in my biscuits, Lord but she didn't hurt me."
