At some point in every flight simmers career we're going to attempt the impossible and try to recreate the deceptively simple looking task of creating 'guncam footage'

I had a project in mind for some time so have been playing around with some settings...it's a lot trickier than I thought

Thanks guys much appreciated.

Someone suggested watching it in 240p or 360p, it looks more realistic as the high resolution works against the idea.

Any suggestions/comments are appreciated as always, I think you can probably see where this experiment will lead if I get enough time smile

Looks really good......You're getting to be pretty darn good at this....Just another great hobby that this sim brings to the forefront.

That's one thing I really appreciated about CFSs. There are a bunch of good film makers who can tell a good story with the few simple tools we have at our disposal.


Nice work on the gun cam footage and itt does look pretty convincing. Loved the edited in machine gun sounds.

Looks fantastic, thx for sharing.
Actual guncam footages frequently show other planes / wingmen getting in the way of the firing plane. It adds to the chaos. Evasive maneuvers, aborted attacks, near collisions.
Nothing goes according to plan kind-of-thing.

That could be something worth exploring to make those films absolutely perfect smile
Not on each and every sequence, just once in a while.

Cheers,
Slug
