Training George...

[petermcleland]

Great shots Peter! Are you using any special software to create these?

Joe,

I only use the Recorder Module by Matthias Neusinger...Without going deeply into the details I fly the part of the Leader making a Recording of it. Then I fly the part of Number Two with the recording of the Leader played as Traffic...I formation fly on the leader for his whole flight and at the same time make a recording of Two.

Then I fly the part of Three while playing both the recordings of Leader and Two as Traffic...I fly formation on them for the whole flight and record the flight at the same time.

Then I fly George's part as Four while playing the recordings of Leader, Two and Three as Traffic...I fly formation on them for the whole flight and record the flight at the same time.

Finally, when I now have four recordings I choose the Time, Weather and ordinary Traffic for the display I want to video of take screenshots of. I load one of the four aircraft as the "Base" and now play all four recordings simultaneously...You see the results in the screenshots you have just seen or any of these videos:-

The youtube versions of the above videos are the easiest to watch and reasonable if you click "Watch in High Quality"...The other versions are higher definition and will play in Windows Media Player but may buffer for some time before playing :flying:

Peter

besides the obvious RAF connotation - is there any particular reason the #4 is named "George"???
prehaps after a real life Avenger pilot???

Leif, go to Peter's screen shot page and look at the last two pictures in the sequence, I think you will find your answer.

Its the father not the son.

Yes Joe I was thinking about "41" not "43"

Leif...Here's George Bush Snr. in his TBM on USS San Jacinto in 1944.

Cheers Peter
There was a very nice TBM on the airshow circuit on the West coast painted in George 41s colours

Leif,

I'm afraid that one I'm using is a fictitious repaint of George's TBM by a chap called "Yago9"...However, it is well done and very pretty and the only repaint I have. I needed to select four aircraft for the team and I felt that number four should have a bit of extra power and needed to be brighter than the drab camos of the other three...So George was just perfect and added a further novelty aspect to the "story line". He might just do a solo display as well...Although I have reserved a couple of solo slots for "Little Bandit" and "Echo" :flying:
