Title: Two SSM2007 movies
Post by: Mogget on April 06, 2009, 03:11:52 PM: I have recently recorded two short SSM2007 movies (primarily for a bunch of GT Legends race simulation friends), but I thought that I would add links to them here. The first one is STS-47 Endeavour landing at the KSC, and is entirely from the 2D HUD perspective (a bit of a hot landing). The second one is a compilation of shots of the STS-1 Columbia launch from several different angles (this seemed to be a bit darker than normal for some unknown reason....the saved T-1 minute option seemed a lot brighter).

Post by: Mogget on April 06, 2009, 07:06:42 PM: The shots before and during the initial launch phase are too dark for my liking. I ran the pre launch phase from T-1h50m, so maybe a glitch caused the light level to stay relatively low? In a normal launch, the shuttle appears quite bright to start with, and then reduces in brightness around the T+35s mark, but the exact opposite happened in this case!

Very strange.

I am also a bit puzzled as to why there isn't a HQ option for these videos. My two race simulation movies have this option, and the SSM2007 ones were exported from Serif MoviePlus 5 in exactly the same way (Best Quality; High Speed Broadband).

Post by: Mogget on April 14, 2009, 04:02:09 PM: I have created a new version of the STS-1 Columbia landing, plus landing movies of STS-8-41C-51A-26-27. I will also be making a new, extended version of the STS-47 Endeavour landing movie (now that I realise that I can land the shuttle further down the runway than I had assumed; I will be able to bleed off the extra 40 knots before touchdown, which is something that I have done successfully in my other recent practice landings). I have also removed the STS-1 Columbia launch movie, because it was too dark.

As for the Wiki page, I have registered, but I am still not sure what I am supposed to do with respect to adding my movies. I can see the EDIT buttons, but I have no idea how I upload the movies, or where I need to put them.

Post by: Mogget on April 14, 2009, 06:26:13 PM: Ah, it seems that I was clicking on the wrong EDIT button :) I have now posted links to my STS-1 Columbia and STS-8 Challenger landing movies.

Post by: Mogget on April 19, 2009, 02:44:51 AM: Five of my landing movies have now been added to the SSM2007 Wiki page, and these cover all five shuttles, and five different runways!

Post by: Mogget on April 19, 2009, 11:05:06 PM: I see that some joker has given a one star rating to my STS-47 Endeavour and STS-27 Atlantis landing videos on YouTube ::) It would be nice if a few SSM2007 forum members could correct this, since all of you can actually appreciate what you are looking at ;)
Title: Re: Two SSM2007 movies
Post by: uri_ba on April 19, 2009, 11:26:02 PM: well, don't take YouTube personally :)
I have no idea why people give what ever rating they give..

Don't worry - I am sure the vote is "political" if you dig what I'm trying to say. Ignore it and move on :)
