Silverstone Circuit (FSX)

The Silverstone Circuit is a motor racing circuit in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, England, named after the village in the former. It is best known as the home of the British Grand Prix, which it first hosted in 1948 and which has been held on the circuit every year since 1987. The circuit is also home to the BRDC International Trophy, formerly one of the premier non-Championship F1 races in the calendar, today awarded to the winner of a race for historic F1 cars at the annual Silverstone Classic meeting.

Your formation flying skills are incredible! Don't know of a sim pilot with the ability to maintain such a tight formation whilst pulling some of those manouevures! Simply incredible!

@Superbatrobin

Thanks, but please know that this video only shows my best results. What you don't see are the many re-takes and failed flights that were required to make the video. I usually spend many hours to set-up the scenery, flights, and camera angles... If this were a one-off video shoot, the result would look much worse. Anyway, thank you for your kind words. Take care - Morgan

@SamLucaAirP

Thanks!

Wow, where is this scenery from? and is this FSX or FS2004?

[penneyfour]

@bulkocrew

Hi there. The scenery is satellite imagery with objects placed on top of it. I used TileProxy to use the satellite scenery in FSX and software called Whisplacer to easily add objects on top of it.

[Superbatrobin]

@penneyfour Oh, trust me I know that there must be loads of previous attempts to make this look as perfect as it does. Just marvelling at how you managed to get all of this video spot on, I mean the formation flying is certainly one big factor as well as the video choreography is another. Perhaps the best Flight Sim formation flying video I have seen on here.

Excellent video.

Sorry for the delayed response... I basically use the default proxyuser.ini file. I just have the LOD radius set to very small and detail to 30cm. In this way I have very high resolution close to the aircraft but low resolution further away.

You also might want to take a look at tweaking your FSX.CFG file.

My special settings are:

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=1.33

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=30

MipBias=6

TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096

When I'm using TileProxy, I have low frames in an altitude of maybe 500ft.

Also, it only loads 20km or so of your circuit. Can you modify this?
