Apollo11 -> RE: OT: for all you "Emily" fans (10/9/2011 10:41:54 AM)
Hi all, quote: ORIGINAL: Pascal The B&V seaplane I gave a link for has a camera inside and is flown by the controller through that camera. This is called FPV R/C flying (FPV = first person view/video). The chase plane is also flown by FPV. Very nice! They also move camera viewpoint inside cockpit with another set of R/C - quite spectacular! BTW, I wonder what is the equipment they use? Can one person do it all or they need two people with sets of R/C? In other words one person flies the model in classical fashion (that is quite normal) and another person steers the inside camera with another set... Leo "Apollo11" P.S. I have friends who build R/C models - I have flown them as well - but I never saw the set with live feed camera...

You fly wearing a pair of LCD goggles that gives you the image feedback. This is called FPV R/C flying. The equipment is quite basic but works well. You can even hook it up so the camera on the plane pans around based on your head movement (you set up motion detectors on a hat). If you go to YouTube and type in the search "fpv rc plane" you'll see quite a bit. One of my favorites is a bunch out of the St. Anton region in Austria. Their online website is www.lastonedown.com . Check their video on YouTube titled "Introduction to FPV soaring"...

I used to fly gliders in the Alps myself and this is the next best thing. Yes, only three things are missing: a greater field of view, 3D and the sensations when you move around. The field of view problem and the 3D problem will probably be taken care of in the next couple years as it only requires side-by-side cameras for the steroscopic vision and an appropriate readout at the other end (a separate screen for each eye). The sensations will be more difficult (a sensory chamber?). Given how cheap the glasses are, I'm surprised that nobody has come up with at least a flight simulator program with full look-around capability.

They already have at least one HD 3D camera for the consumer market. Not cheap but not as much as you would think - trying to remember the name of it.

Commander Stormwolf -> RE: OT: for all you "Emily" fans (10/10/2011 3:37:51 AM)
No commander stormwolf is not japan, japan is some idiot who says japan lost due to back luck and the game is broken, commander stormwolf says japan was a bunch of idiots, though they had some cool toys (4EB without airfields, submarine-launched torpedo planes.. imagine a carrier battle with SenToku submarines with less fuel or torpedo tubes, but carrrying 9 planes each) .. build about 50 of them.. 200xN1K Kyofu 250xM6A Seiran approaching tf.. USN commander: where are the enemy carriers? [&:] USN lieutenant: under the sea..[X(]

Quixote -> RE: OT: for all you "Emily" fans (10/10/2011 4:17:30 AM)
At what point in this thread did anyone suggest you were Japan? (other than you?)
