A few screenies from last night...

I wasn't going to fly last night, partly 'cause of some work I had to finish up, and I hate to sound like a wimp, but my hand was killing me after the 162 maneuvers I flew the day before...but then Lawndart comes into Ventrilo and says, wanna go flyin? Can't say no to the VTB! LD, Rock, Convertable ...

Keep up the good work. Be sure to post some screens from mid-maneuver next time so I can get an idea of how you're progressing 8) Burner - Screenshots are only 1/30 sec in time - I can give you lots of those...take a look at my last movie http://www.summerthunder.net/movies.html (more July '06 prac...

Strictly judging by all the sceenshots, No. 2 and 3 are (triple-T) too far aft and borderline of becoming too tight (close to Boss), even for a Diamond formation. No. 4 is a little too forward and too stacked (deep). There are new reference diagrams along with sight pictures in our gallery if you g...

106 Rolls, 56 Loops

Yesterday I logged 106 Rolls, and 56 Loops flying mostly right wing, a little left :shock: (Burner, that's for left wing, not the total number :wink: ) Fury, Thumper - thanks for joining me for the last six sorties, maybe if we keep this up for a year or so we might become proficient enough to be sp...

Shabo- LD is really the expert when it comes to settings and compression in Vegas, but I'll try to help a little. It all comes down to a trade-off between quality and file size. Play around with the settings when you select "Render as". Obviously, the higher the resolution and quality settings, the ...

I talked to that guy yesterday...he lives about 10 miles from me, so I think I'm going to go over & take a look when he has another TB helmet finished, right now he is out of them. He gets used helmets and rebuilds and finishes them himself, so I want to check them out b4 shelling out the dough. Got...

OK, I will say it. The REAL Virtual Thunderbirds had their website up long before these guys, and the fact that the sim they use looks like the Flintstones notwithstanding, their website is absolute plagiarism. Can you say copy and paste? Good luck to them with an impossible task of even coming clo...
