    Incredible. The Comms in the background makes everything a whole lot more epic. And the Su-27 launch was incredible.
    Edit: I also can’t stress how good that shot following the catapult thingy as is retracts is. That was like on the level of a high budget movie. Incredible job!

    • @LAWest
      @LAWest  3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      I use adobe aftereffects solely for the text, however for the money you're best off just compromising. To edit I use Cyberlink Power Director. However as with everything It has its limitations, so just research and see what's best for you. Good luck if you decide to make a film!

    DCS content creators are some of the most talented people that I've ever seen in any medium. Your work can easily rival multi million dollar productions from billion dollar franchises. And I've seen a lot of DCS cinematics but you're easily at the very top and you deserve way more subs and attention. I literally goosebumps every single time I watch this.

    This was a pretty engaging piece. I liked it, save one detail. As much as I have faith in the quality of training and technological supremacy of the United States armed forces, I don't think they'd come out of an engagement like that without losing a plane or two. I was waiting for one of those MiG-29s to splash a Hornet then get taken out, or an F-14 to make an appearance to take out that E-2.
