Excellent Nage!! Why did they wear red coats? Not having been in the Army myself, my first thought would be it was a socially acceptable way of cross-dressing from the seventeenth to nineteenth century. Or; forget about the blood thing. Its a myth. By around the end of the seventeenth century most armies had given up their pikes and halberds and were equipped with muskets and supported by cannon and cavalry. Any battlefield very quickly became obscured by smoke. It made it much easier to tell friend from foe if everyone was colour coded. Since a musket's effective range is around fifty metres there was no question of camouflaging anyone. This only started to matter around 1850 when the first rifles came into use with effective ranges up to three and four hundred metres. Red had been worn by various British troops from around the mid-sixteenth century but came to be the standard colour of the uniforms issued to the New Model Army during the English civil war. Its an expensive thing kitting out an army and red dyes were cheap and the process simple. Britain was not the only nation to adopt red for uniforms either. However, the British army were one of the first armies to discard bright, colourful uniforms for combat after their experiences in India where Khaki became standard in the latter half of the nineteenth century. I think - but I'm not too sure - that the British army ( or part of it ) last fought in red coats in the Sudan in the late nineteenth century....er, possibly. Red tunics and ladies underwear still play an important part in ceremonial uniform worn by the British Army to this day. Edit; Jabo beat me to it. He just skimmed over the cross-dressing

Cheers Kev. That was good fun and OverDHill got himself in the air too. Plus a bit of Stuka goodness. I think this is FT in the part of the cold-blooded killer! Found a few morsels left too I throw down the gauntlet for Fenrir.

This.

I believe its now available as a download for $10, which makes it an absolute steal!

Seen it already............here; http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/11233-hidden-camera-or-is-it/

Do you run an Nvidia graphics card in the 600 series or above, Perf? If you do you can use Nvidia ShadowPlay. I think its pretty good and seems to have a minimal hit on fps. An example I made of night ground attack in BoS; And yes, I have forgotten how to embed YouTube vids! Perhaps FruitBat can give us ( another ) tutorial?

Want one!

At last, woke up to a beautiful, clear and crisp winters day. Must be time for a quick stroll around and about. Back in time for tea, toast and last of my wife's Christmas cake. ( sob )

F86? Nice. I think someone is releasing a MiG21 in the spring too. Edit; 'ere yer go; http://www.dcs-mig21.com/

You know, I'm really enjoyin' this propellerless flying business. Whilst it has to be said that DCS is a clunky and not brilliantly optimised bit of software - that has the most convoluted download process of all flightsims - once you've got it up and running then its pretty good. At least the Flaming Cliffs 3 bit of it is. I haven't got the A10C, I hate helicopters and the P51 bores me.......but. Weapon of choice Helmet mounted optical aiming system 6 DoF cockpits are coolio How it so often ends! Makes for a really good workout for a force feedback joystick too. Me like...........................................................................................................................................................until it goes wrong again

Reminds me of Exmouth, lol. Bigger than I thought. Whats the sea temperature like in the summer, Swep? Do any paddling?

Cor! Now that does look handy.

What Jabo said #2

Su-27 !! Here I am seeing off an incursion into the airspace of the Peoples Republic of Sidmouth by the running dogs of neo-colonial, post-imperialism. The Peoples Republic has discovered oil!

I'm getting dangerous in this thing - honestly, lol! I have radar scan mode on a slider

What are the specs of your new computer, Fritzl?

Well I made this using the free version of Bandicam but it still took an age to upload in its compressed form and quality comes no where near that of ShadowPlay. Night ground attack in BoS alpha with gun pods and bombs. Cheese scones were a failure and I've forgotten how to embed bloody vids again, doh!

Several years ago I saw a demo video of a 110 nightfighter with a functioning SN2 radar in the airgunners compartment. Not sure what happened to that though. It was a mod but I don't think it was ever released. It did look really impressive.

Yep, it does seem fairly clunky but it gets there in the end.......eventually.......unless it decides to completely lock my 'puter. The first mission you start upon firing up the game does seem to take forever to load. I've got the P51 which is interesting for a couple of days but once you've got the hang of starting, flying and landing it becomes a snore-fest. However, since getting FC3 to work properly on Christmas Eve I've been having good fun with DCS. The 6 DoF reworking of some of the 'pits is really impressive. Must try and get online with Snacko and see if I can put a Bat up the nightdress of his A10 pilot in my beloved SU27.

Fraps? Must be time to make some cheese scones and investigate Bandicam.

Hmmm.......Virtual Dub does not recognize ShadowPlay. I've been using Microsoft Moviemaker and its nice and simple but as you say its really bad for quality. Have made a chocolate log instead.

Nice one Kev. Thats the sort of thing I'm looking for. @Jabo...er, yeah. Hence looking to compress these files for upload.

I have an urge to make some vids and put them on YouTube. I have been recording tracks with MSI Afterburner but found the Nvidia Shadow Play thingy is much better quality. My big question is what do people use to compress these recordings into a format that will upload to YouTube relatively quickly? For instance, I've got a fourteen minute vid taken in the BoS Apha of a spot of night time ground attack which is very pretty but if I do a straight upload of the file to YouTube its over a gig in size and will take nearly ten hours to upload which is plain daft! YouTube's advice involves paying money out to buy software - gulp! - is there a freeware programme out there that is any good.

Holy hell! That first vid where he just drives it off the edge!!! Thought my breakfast was going to come up for a few moments. Oh yeah; congrats on your ninety-seventh birthday, SkyPup!
