petermcleland 48 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 This is a re-processed version of the Synchro Three Practice session at McLeland Field in 16:9 format, for people who have screens of that shape. I don't have any 16:9 screens on my computer system but I do have a 32 inch Panasonic television of that resolution so I use these converted videos to make DVDs and they look really great on that. If you have a slowish Broadband which causes buffering pauses, click the Pause icon in the bottom left corner, then click the resolution up to 1080p...Now WAIT as the pink band moves from left to right, till it gets about halfway across. Now click that same Pause icon to start it running again and finally click the Full Screen icon at bottom right...It should now run through without further pausing. At the end you will see a "Replay" button...If you click that you will get an uninterrupted full screen replay! Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites

petermcleland 48 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 That really is a superb piece of flying, and filming Peter, thanks for sharing, The format worked fine for me. Thanks Mut, The flying of the Leader and the Number 2 was pretty straightforward...All I needed to do for the Leader was to appreciate what the other two were going to do. Number 2 was also fairly easy as I just broke right over the bay instead of left and used the same timings as the leader. Number three was much harder as I kept straight on over the bay when the others broke and then had to estimate the moment past the ship to half loop back for the crossover at the runway (I was a fraction late but was pleased with the result and accepted the first take). After the crossover, I was able to keep the Leader in sight as he half looped back for the landing (you can just see him doing that in the video). Then I played it by eye for my own landing by keeping an eye on the leader and juggling my turn-in to suit. The final meeting on the runway head-on with number 2 was anticipated with both of us turning a little left (I was expecting to have to cross the left edge of the runway, but didn't need to...that also shows in the video). I looked at it yesterday on my wife's 16:9 laptop and it looked great in Full Screen. I was very impressed with the quality of the picture. Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 It certainly gives a real cinematic feel and is more natural to view. Link to post Share on other sites
