FSX Retroliner Video's

Hello,

I may be the guy noone likes, but I'm quite wondering the purpose of the videos. I don't think you'll find here the target audience. Yes, we are about retro stuff, but for AI traffic, and let's say, on one of the most AI dedicated community out there. That may sound omnious for "things that are meant to be part of the scenery", but the point is there : we do care, and for some of us, the AI part of the simming is waaaaaaay more important than the latest PMDG, the latest scenery or the most fancy and fully functional virtual panel.

Not to bash for fun, really, I do appreciate you invest yourself in making those videos and uploading/sharing them, but they are not AI related (except the few seconds intro). We may get interested in watching :
- your AI world, overview of airports filled with activity, nice airport layout and traffic flow
- contributors repaints and aircraft you installed, and videos made as a way to thank them
- a video demonstration to showcase the best AI scene ever according to your preferences
- development stages of new or reworked AI models, repaints previews on AI aircraft (if you happen to be a contributor)
- on a general point of view of the simming, maybe a flight (in a nice flyable aircraft) with nice handling, great sceneries, landscapes, piloting skill, etc. but again, that would be marginal.

RetroAI is a community of contributors in the first place, and users who fortunately have the simulators to recreate the aviation world in which they identify themselves, and the wonderful part of it is, it is not just you and your flyable aircraft, but aswell everything around you in the simulator, airlines, aircraft, even sceneries. Other AI Traffic communities (that usually have some ties and relations with any other including RetroAI) are the same, but on the specific matters of such group. Military AI Works for instance focuses on military things, everything, on the AI side of the sim. Alpha India Group shines in most accurate and up to date AI recreations (and because of Covid, most Airlines are on a standby or hibernate state, the retro part of many contributors there are actively producing goodies in the meantime).

I guess a better audience can be found on more generic sim communities. Again, I'm not here to make morale or criticism, but I feel strange, the number of posts you made and the number of videos, yet no comments so far. That's not how a member post is supposed to work. I'm just trying to explain why the audience may be silent by exposing my personal feeling, the goal being you, as a member, interacting with the community here (or at least that's how I supposed it should be). By the way, this is just my opinion, as a lambda member here, RetroAI, its community, staff and contributors are not to share the same thoughts.

Anyway, have nice flights, be safe and be happy (or find a way to be happy quickly)

Everyone is free to share things, Airplanes are my passion. My videos are being watched is enough. You can only respond to videos if you like them. For 15 years I have been making videos not only fsx films but also spotting in reality. The comment has been all that time minimal. I enjoy making them and leaving it to others to view. All my videos are on my youtube channel "https://www.youtube.com/user/pvmunster". Enjoy watching.

You may find a better audience at Avsim's forums or Flightsim.com. When I first saw the title of your forum posts I was thinking of retro traffic. That's not the case, however.

Dear Munsterp.

When I first saw your videos, I thought it was on retro ai traffic and watched a few of them. I discovered, too, very quickly that it was on flyable aircraft and wondered.

Subjective opinion to follow.

However, in my opinion, retro traffic does not only contain of non flyable aircraft, as my fore posters may have said but also flyable aircraft. A perfect retro world is both ai and one's own aircraft. Makes no sense to use a modern Mercedes in a world from the 1970s.

In my opinion feel free to share your videos in the future. None is force to watch or like them, any fan of retro is or should be welcomed - especially when taking into consideration that it's a niche in a world of bland and white aircraft that look like one egg another. It's a hobby to enjoy and everyone has his or her own way - yours being this videos. Maybe it'll lay the seed to continue with ai traffic in the future.

Kind regards

I hate to say it but these videos are not very good

Y’all be kind to our fellow members. These videos might not be everyone’s forte but we all are here for the same reason: To appreciate the same things and that’s what these videos show.

Truth be told: I’m trying to figure out how to do something this clean. Anyone have any good screen-grabbing software recommendations? And who makes a good free video editor? I used Microsoft Movie Maker back in the day and it was fabulous.

I like too make these video's . I use cyberlink powerdirector, but a free editor is NCH software. So I challenge every one and make a retroliner vid yourself.
