Btw. do I have to do anything special to get the fly-by view? Seem to
have missed this somehow...

Actually, I agree with that! I noticed the same thing and thought how 
much it added to the realism! Especially the last shot as the plane 
comes to a halt.


Curtis, you really ought to pump the tires on that AN-2. They looked 
totally flat to me :-)



Something I do notice though - if you do what Curtis did there and 
compose a video out of fly-by shots and nothing else, it gets *really* 
repetitive. Had a movie director shot that sequence with a real plane, 
he/she'd have intercut the fly-by shots with a few out of the pilot's 
window shots, a couple of closeups of the pilot's fact (OK, so we can't 
reasonably do that), and maybe some chase-plane shots.


It's too late to go fiddling with it in time for 0.9.11, but maybe an 
idea for the future might be to rework fly-by as an option to a 
sort-of movie director playback mode which would allow a much more 
convincing (and less repetitive) move to be made. The current system 
certainly shows the possibilities of such a thing, and we've got out of 
the window and chase plane options already. It's just putting them 
together that's missing.


Nice work by the fly-by author though.
BTW - What happens if you fly a plane directly over the fly-by camera?

There is small error in gear position. I had not enough time to take care 
about it and want  to fix it late - may be, this week or next...

[Flightgear-devel] youtube video

2007-05-21 Thread Curtis Olson

I've discovered that I really love the AN-2 and the new fly-by view mode!
I've posted a youtube video of the FlightGear AN-2 landing at Ranger Creek,
WA (taken with a cheesy digital camera pointed at my computer screen ...):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGmqDYb2rsw

The video should be ready to watch in a couple minutes.

Curt.
