What are the bad opinions

[Ceiling Cat]

Well sometimes angels are bad and stuff like that

Why don't you have AA on x16? GTX can handle that!

But there aren't any angels in that video

Care to give me an example on what you mean by a bad angle?

Oh the sims looks good enough at 8x, don't want to get too greedy like you do!

Fantastic Video. I loved watching it!

I agree on that one I'm despicable with camera shaking effects

BTW Thank you MattGarner

Really nice work MK. Very realxing, could watch it all day.  You're getting good mate. Hope to see more.



ps use Smooth on your keyframes for the camera shake (select all keyframes, right click, smooth)

Thanks Max

Ahh that was the problem I was wondering why my camera effect had gone all crap since my last videos, I completely forgot about that, thank you!

Captainmk that was really really beautiful. I normally have a hard time getting into airliner movies but that one just sucked me right in. Excellent pacing, great shots and a very soothing and ethereal flow which is uncommon for airliner vids, at least the ones I've seen. I too really enjoyed the dawn/dusk terrain shots and the formation sections at the end. Always neat to see due to their rarity. Airport tycoon soundtrack or not you couldn't have picked a better song for it I think.

Sure the cam shake could use work, but who am I to talk, I suck at it!

8x antialiasing? Lucky FS9 people, anything more than 4x and my FSX starts getting very angry with me.

Excellent video. Here is a sincere and honest opinion.

You have amazing timing, and as someone who uses timing in a "not so subtle" way, I HIGHLY appreciate it. I get into the music much more by simply enjoying the timing that you used to synchronize your video. Some of the scenes also were simply amazing and you have a grasp of what you want and how you want to film. It looks beautiful and the panning scenes IMO were well done.

My only complaints, and the reason I gave 4/5 stars were simply editing issues. I saw two things that detracted me from complete immersion. First was the scene with the mouse that started at 1 minute 12 seconds. You have absolutely got to remove that! It detracts from what could be such a wonderful scene, it is truly a heart break! As a matter of fact, if you spent the time to simply refilm this whole scene, I think you would have been better off as the camera did some strange stuff as the aircraft passed.

Secondly at roughly 1:42 you see the edges black of the scene suddenly "pop" in. This is jarring and detracts from the immersion.

If you would have redone these two things I would have enjoyed this film significantly more.

At any rate, the film is well done and you appear to be an absolutely heavy contender for a good film maker. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to future works.

Sorry, I disagree I kinda liked that song.

ROFL. You are at least humble Mike, and I love that about you.

Hey, use the card settings rather than the settings in the simulator itself. I use 8x anti aliasing for FSX now and have very little framerate hit because I use the software provided by ATI to "force" it.

Haha thanks Valk, though I really do hate my cam shakes, it's why I rarely use em.  

Actually I said he "couldn't" have picked a better track, meaning I thought it was a great choice too. I just worded that pretty poorly now that I look at it again haha. Captainmk the music rocks.

And the antialiasing haha, yeah, I do it through the driver as well, but with the amount of crap going on in some of my scenes I think my computer just says "oh enough already, now I'm going to hurt you.".

Wow, thanks very much for this awesome review, I think you got the errors spot on. I did recognize the second error, but it was too late when I did. But the first error I didn't even notice it until now And now it's too late for me to change anything too, thanks so much for spotting them out for me, I can't believe I missed them out

I might try, but I think my frames may take a hit in stormy weather, I'm too scared to try!

Have your parts arrived now Good luck fitting it all.

You still did not give me an example of what you thought a bad angle, I want your opinion so I can try improve!
