Gun Camera

[Cardolan]

Is there any way to enable the recording of a video only when firing the guns/bombs/rockets of the player plane?

I suppose you could map your gun trigger command to the same key combination as the record video command. I think you would need to write a macro command and assign it to a key to have a delay for the rounds to arrive on target though.

Thanks for the idea @Jaegermeister

I think it would be a nice feature if the game would have that feature coded in. In this way we could have the gun footage of our kills in Career mode, for instance.

 

On a different tack, covering career details, it would be better if we had kills detailed by plane type and date instead of a simple counter of light/medium/heavy planes' categories.

 

Just a couple of ideas to enliven the Career mode, my preferred way of playing.

You could consider keeping a personal log book for your pilot where you write down short reports like "25.05.1944 - Clear sky - Escorted a flight of Marauders to Calais, saw 4 190s on our way back, but they didn't engage" or along these lines

Already do something of that sort in an Excel Spreadsheet, yes. I am still  learning the ropes of the sim playing Career in ironman, because well... it has much more consequence and provides much more fun. But I need to be a bit more careful to improve my survival chances.

 

Anyway, thx for the suggestions!

I think modern video cards / video card software usually have a 'clip' recording feature.  I wonder if this could be rigged up to make guncam like footage.
