I don't do much with video nor watch them often, but was a bit curious about "the state" of FSX at this point in time. So I just watched FS Night Traffic 2.
I'm a professional visual artist and art college professor. I have to say that it is an AWESOME piece of video editing and production. The cretivity in both camera work and editing is supurb. And the music selection enhances the whole production. NICE JOB!!!!
If that piece does not make you want to try flight simming........ you must be
dead.
But my REAL question is this.........
Throughout the video it is clear to me that there are stutters in the original recorded video footage. This seems to be the "stutters" that plague the sim programs in general when flying.
What I'd REALLY like to know is if when you see this footage with your focus on the stuttering aspect ONLY...... if you consider this to be "smooth" or "good sim performance" (or any of those types of words).
What type of hardware does it take to get this level of "smoothness" out of FSX?
best,

The video you mention is a music video, not a flight video, and it belongs at the MTV website and not here at a flight sim website nor at simteevee. Whenever I see airplanes in a video I want to hear airplanes, not a jukebox or somebody's favorite song. Moreover, the cuts and transitions are grossly overdone to a point of being psychedelic. I would expect teenagers to love the video but not any mature adult, especially not anyone who has an art degree.
I see no stuttering in the video. Any stuttering or lack of smoothness in your FSX is probably due to low frame rate and there are many ways to increase fps.
BTW, I have literally hundreds of videos uploaded to youtube, google video, yahoo video, simteevee and veoh tv.
