    A few bits of this video are a bit stuttery. I am having a lot of trouble with AMD hardware and OBS since I upgraded recently. The awful DCS replay system doesn't help either, making it incredibly difficult and time consuming to re-capture footage when the output is not great. . . until this replay function is brought into the 21st century I won't be ale to dedicate much time and effort towards trying to capture stutter-free footage,

      I like it when it's full. Very easy to get in to trouble, especially when their is a fur ball and it doesn't take long to find enemy planes, but when it's quiet I can practise my dive bombing on the enemy airfields and mission targets and take in the shapes of the forested area's to learn the southern part of the map when I'm on the German side. But their is definitely a pattern with time zone's. It seems to favour the European time zone in the evening I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.
      I only just found out the other day that you can visually see at least three airfields near each other (from the seat of your cockpit) down south and I can also just fly back to Argentan that's a lot closer to the front line's to repair and re-fuel etc after taking off from Essay or wherever.
      I learn something new every multiplayer match I fly on, in the SoW server.

    • @philstyle

      The flak either did not spawn in this mission due to a bug, or it had already been destroyed by other players earlier.

    Great flying. Looked like a good time. Why do you fly the anton and dora instead of the 109? I own the 109 and wondering what I am missing with the FWs. They seem inferior, but as is obvious from your videos, in the right hands they are very capable.

    • @-Zevin-
      @-Zevin- 3 года назад +1

      The FW190 was actually considered a strait upgrade from the 109 when it first came out. It is more complicated than this however, Kurt Tank (Designer of the FW190) described the difference like this; The Me-109 was a race horse, fast nimble but could easily break a leg, the FW190 was a warhorse it was more rugged, heavy, resilient and powerful. The 190 had more rugged landing gear it could carry more ordinance both in cannon and in bombs, and also more resilient to damage. They ended up filling different roles. The FW190a are great ground attack aircraft, some even being much more armored against ground fire, while the D variant is a fast interceptor with tremendous fire power, fast in a strait line, with great roll rate it dominates in energy fighting tactics and less so in dog fights.

    • @philstyle
      @philstyle  3 года назад

      I manually adjust the gain and eq on every audio clip and channel.
      The externals view sections are mixed to -1db (unless their is voice over), whilst the cockpit audio is around -5 or lower RMS to make room for voice.
      External audio and cockpit audio have different EQ profiles. Externals are 200-400 Hz booster, cockpit is a bit higher. External view HFs are cut less aggressively than cockpit.
      After that everything is run though a compressor/ limiter, this is probably doing a lot of the normalization you can hear.
      What you hear in the video is substantially modified from raw dcs audio output.
