John Venema Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 See YMAV in motion for the first time! Recorded in a single take off my laptop with all sliders maxxed and zero FSX tweaks, you won't believe how smoothly this detailed airport flows beneath the chopper. Vimeo - At the bottom of the Vimeo page is a link to download the full 128MB WMV file if you want the best quality playback YouTube - We will release Avalon before the weekend, and pre-paid customers will get it a day early as per usual.

Boogus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Great teaser video for YMAV. The detail is exceptional as always. The lyrics of the song are appropriate. Also pilot likes to daredevil the treetops and billboards haha. Can't wait for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarn Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Wow, how detailed! I love the photo-real terrain and the exquisite positioning of the objects, as usual. FTX's goes Olympian... Someone ate a lamppost or two, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Rogers Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I actually thought JV's helo flying was pretty good ! )But you can look ok in the FSX choppers, whizzing around, it's the landing that's a bleedin killer to nail!) Anyway..... gorgous video !!!!!! Avalon here we come !! I wanted to ask John - who is singing the cover version of 'Ordinary World' by Duran Duran ? Really good version - did I detect a slight Oz accent on the singer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailgunner Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 'Morning, John. If I click your Avalon and New World videos on the FTX start page, they're fine. But if I then go to the Vimeo section and click them there, neither they nor any other videos in that section function. Everything was OK before, but now I get "To watch this video, you need Flash 9...you have an old version of Flash. Click here to download the latest version." So I download, and the install is apparently OK, but when I return to FTX, I get the same message again. I e-mail Vimeo, and get back simply "Make sure javascript is enabled." Duh? Any clues would be most gratefully received by a confused Ancient Brit ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyhalf Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just stunning John. You've got some agressive LOD levels in there that snap into full LOD a bit too close but I guess you're still adjusting those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got some agressive LOD levels in there that snap into full LOD a bit too close but I guess you're still adjusting those. LODs were all fixed for the final release, as well as the water tanks. Well spotted though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypilot Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 at last! a video that actually showcases the scenery without cutting away from a shot in a fraction of a second to another shot for a fraction of a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT22 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 John, Sold! I'm purchasing and downloading it now. This looks great but to me its about completing the Melbourne area. It was and is now an even better incredibly realistic area to fly around if you've got Melbourne airport and FTX. I will be doing circuits flying from Tulla over the city and into Avalon and back to Essendon or Tulla. I doubt whether there is any area more comprehensively modeled in FSX in the world. I will see you guys at the Avalon Airshow on the Saturday. Looking forward to the airshow add-on. GaryT22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 More comprehensive? It will be once we do Pt. Cook, Essendon, Moorabbin and CityScape Melbourne. Then it will be sweet. Oh forgot to mention Geelong CityScape and the Surf Coast addons too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
