Here is a new animation with the same technic.
The aircraft motion has been imported from a recorded flight done with FlighGear (free flight simulator). Rudder, ailerons and elevator motion is also automatically imported from the FlighGear record.
I have setup 3 cameras : 2 are parented by the aircraft. The third one (back camera) is parented by an object following the same motion path as the aircraft but with 0.6 second offset.
The background is a 10.000 x 5.000 HDR image done with Vue 8.
Animation and final rendered with Carrara 8 Pro in less than 4 hours per camera (i7-920). The render time is mosly linked to the smoke.
The motion is quite "nervous" because I am a beginer virtual pilot ! Smooth flight should be achieved with a good pilot ...
