Robcap 1 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi, John MacKay made a great video of the adventurous flight the Douglas DC2 made in 1934, during the London Melbourne race. He followed the data from the Diary kept by one of the passengers, Mr. Domenie. You can read that here: Domenie Diary Not only the Uiver story is covered, also the most spectacular events from other contestants are not forgotten. Anyway, enjoy the movie of the Uiver, brought to you by Jonh MacKay and the "UIVER" Team Cheers, Rob Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 He did a great job. Very professional. The narration is excellent. I know that voice from somewhere.... Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Very good video. I loved the notion of flashing the street lights at Albury (I have rellies there!) in Morse to tell the plane where it was Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Brilliant video, Rob - thanks for giving us the link. One of the most enjoyable flight sim videos I've seen - I was on the edge of my seat! The animations are truly excellent - no doubt you'll let us know how the people managed to run around?!?

Tim_A 997 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I was wondering that myself! Link to post Share on other sites

Robcap 1 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Well, I have now clue about how to animate the people and the cars, that's Johns work. So that's what I asked him as well: this was his reply, a few months ago: I use another 3d program published by DAZ called Carrara Pro, and the program Poser, and gmax. and others. It can get complicated at times. :-) He used our Gmax source, to have the pilots in the model, working the throttles. It was very nice to work together with him, he worked out a story board, and I would comment on accuracy. I really like the part with the sharks, Jimmy Melrouse dead stick landing, the aborted landing with the flares, and ofcourse the thunderstorm and the landing in Albury,with the car lit race course.

Tim_A 997 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I told my cousin who lives in Albury-Wodonga about it (she's not remotely interested in planes or aviation), and she'd never heard about it, but thought it was absolutely fabulous! Link to post Share on other sites
