Status: offline 		good vids, i like the yak one best myself, but i am a big yak fan, even though i have an extra only now, i lost the yak to a bad switch , anyway, you can see the difference in smoothness like you said, he's got the "feel", but i know lots of others do too, if i made a vid would someone post it for me?? show you what a novice looks like , who knows, maybe one of you can give me pointers from watching me fly, i wish i had some good 3d pilots in my club to watch and learn from, there is only a few of us doing that type of stuff, and not to toot my horn but i am one of the better ones doing it, our club is mostly older guys with scale warbirds and things like that, which is very cool dont get me wrong, but i think i could progress alot quicker in 3d if i had someone to fly with like that...i could even make a sim vid i suppose showing my stick movements, trying certain manuvers, then email it to someone and grade me, tell me what to do and watch for to gain knowledge...

Status: offline 		I'm not the one to judge your 3D skills but several on here can really give you a hand better than I can. I'll host the video for you. PM me when you have the video and we'll work it out.

You could also use http://www.rcuvideos.com. It's free. All you have to do is create an account since the one here on RCU does not transfer over

ORIGINAL: whaturi

but in order to get this far in a year and a half, i practice my ass off. seriosuly. i MUST fly every day. on the sim or for real.


whaturi, Dude you are kick butt and SHOULD be very proud of your hard work! There are only a handful of guys in the world that can fly as well as you do and probably only a handful of that handful that progressed as quickly as you did.. I failed to mention the Cap video,, it was really good too. You are a heck of a lot better than I am for sure,, but I dont fall into that handful,, and at 39 years old probably never will. But I will give it heck trying you can bet on that.

diamonddave,
get you a video camera and take some video.. Windows Movie Maker works just fine to get the video edited and into a useable format. Then just post it on RCU videos.. Its free and easy to do!

Status: offline 		mike, thanks a lot. i'm really giving all my efforts to this hobby. i came from skateboarding for 10 years and trying very hard at that.. as soon as a quit that, the airplanes kind of came along and i try as hard as i can without ruining my life.. haha.

my skateboarding friends think the whole flying thing is retarded. oh well, im not going back!

(EDIT) also, the cap video was filmed when i still freaked out whe nthe rollers went right by me. i have pretty much fixed that glitch.. i remember we talked about htat before.. you have to almost close your eyes and hope for the best on that one. the sim really got me through that. now i'm working on them to the right.. not just left.
