Video Production

[Shadowcaster]

Hope this is in the right place, I have been watching some videos produced by software developers and was wondering how they do this type of thing.

Was the walk around and climbing into the cockpit done live using 3rd party software or is there some controls in FSX. Thanks in advanced.

Cheers

OK seen the video your referring to, which was made by the creator BILL / William over at Lionheart Creations , payware aircraft.

a lotta of the views your seeing are done, using the Keyboard commands on your computer keyboard,,, some, not all.

other views are used like Track IR, a head tracking software device

Bills video was uploaded in 2010, not to long after TRACK IR came out.

You can also use the space bar and your mouse to move around Zoom In & Out too , in "FSX"

The keyboard commands to tinker with are :

CRTL Shift Enter

CRTL Shift Backspace

Enter Shift

Enter Backspace

CRTL - + Keys

and at the same time hold down on these


CRTL CRTL SHIFT ENTER

CRTL SHIFT BACKSPACE

Try those and move around your cockpit or aircraft

I set up ALL my Aircraft CFG Files so that the views allow me to move around any direction


XYZ = TRUE in the Aircrafts Views section !!! { -------- very important if ya want to move around the Aircraft !

Heres one of my YOU TUBE Video I made some time ago, using the DASH 7, by Milton Schupe , I used a combination of keyboard commands and my Track IR5 to move around the cockpit and outside the aircraft - recorded with a registered version of FRAPS recording software

then I took all the Video clips and put them into my Serif Video Editor and edited out badd unwanted footage , no special effects used.

Then process the video, so it can be uploaded to YOU TUBE, and they'll process it again on the end.

Very impressive, Jet!

That takes a lot of time and patience....

Well done!... ....!

That 18 minute video would be impossible, (take many days), for me to upload to You Tube, using my/our ADSL Copper-wire, Phone-line, Internet!

We are way behind the times in Britain, when it comes to Internet data transfer speeds!

I have a number of Video recordings which cannot be uploaded and published due to painfully slow Internet Speeds.

...I assume that our US Chums must have access to low-cost, High-Speed Internet, via Fibre-Optic, etc, lines?

Paul....uploading at 0.1 Mbs.....on a really good day!..... ....!

What can I say, very interesting video thanks for the reply Jetranger a lot to digest there so I will have a play around later today, I really would like to get Track IR it seem to add an extra element or immersion.

Fozzer, down in sunny Cornwall we get as per the the attached image, its BT and as it's with the phone package it's quite cheap and unlimited. One hell of and improvement over the 9.6 kbits of old with AOL. But the providers over here are dragging their heels in rolling out Fibre, I am still amazed that we got it in our village.

My present Internet speeds from Talk Talk are; 9.91 < 10.11 Mb/s download speed...(average 8Mb/s)...

...and 0.86 < 1.68 Mb/s upload speed.

And for this I pay monthly £10 for Broadband Internet + Free evenings and weekend telephone calls...
...and £17.70 BT Line rental. Total monthly cost= £27.70.

Copper-wire Land Line!

The download speeds @ 8Mb/s are OK for normal Internet browsing, etc, but the extremely slow upload speeds prohibit the uploading of Videos, etc, for publishing!

I am reluctant to pay extra mega-bucks for Fibre-optic, just to get occasional fast upload speeds for videos.
