DCS Flaming Cliffs 3: Operation Grand Slam

[@VH707FTL]

slamraamprod I first came across this clip several months ago and no matter how many times I've watched it since then, I still break out in goosebumps. And after watching it, I feel like I've just walked out of a cinema. If there ever was an academy award for pieces like these, you'd win it!

[@VH707FTL]

And I think there should be academy awards for clips like these!

[@slamraamprod]

VH707FTL Hehe Thanks

[@garyscott6711]

Totally agree, fantastic work - no other word for it.

[@MrDuckie00]

slamraamprod hey man question is their a multiplayer commutation with players on DCS World

[@WinchesterDelta1]

Still comming back to his vid from time to time. It's awesome. Thank you.

[@slamraamprod]

Thanks for your support. More than 170k views in a year. Rest assured that I am working on the sequel, but I hope to include the Nevada terrain in it, due to the story line.

[@Hmshood1809]

God, Can't wait! and AGAIN, Any idea when the F-18 is out? gunna LOVE that

[@slamraamprod]

Hmshood1809 No comments on release dates. But I am working now on a video update of the Coretex F/A-18E Super Hornet

[@23Papamike]

slamraamprod Can you shed any light on the E?

[@Hmshood1809]

Yes, please do so if you can!

[@slamraamprod]

Hmshood1809 A progress video coming soon

[@Simongtt]

Simply the best video i have ever seen of DCS or any sim in fact.

[@rogerowen335]

Incredible!

[@Silverboy_gaming_]

It’s 2024 now and I think it’s time for a remake of this amazing video.

[@devinsmall3925]

I pretty much never comment on anything. I was completely blown away on how well you did this video. I had goosebumps watching the entire thing. Amazing job!

[@JohnJaegerwaddy-john]

I hope I'm on the list to see the next one of these. What great graphics, sound and story idea. This was a real treat that I will be happy to pass around. Thank you. wc

[@nicefella1640]

that was fricking amazing,must have taken you ages to put together.all that hard work was worth it.couldnt take my eyes of the screen thank you very much.

[@AurelTristen]

The cinematography here is at times breathtaking. I don't know if you're just a natural or you simply pay attention to how shots are set up, but some of these shots are simply fantastic. The sound design, even though it is ripped from this or that, is also very compelling. The 'writing' and direction not so much, as it isn't very clear what is happening, but given that you couldn't make your 'actors' speak the lines you wanted, you did some amazing work!

[@VideoUser3053]

Utterly amazingly well done. Cannot imagine the amount of work needed to do this. Just awesome.

[@ArcherAC3]

What end was really amazing, pretty good editing and the great Michael Kamen theme! You just made me wanna watch band of brothers again. Nice bloody job, mate! One of the best DCS videos I've watch.!

[@Cyclist2012]

I Have watched the whole movie now, Excellent powerful and very moving work, I was glued to the screen. No exaggeration, this is the best movie edit of any simulation/game I have watched to date.

[@edcurtis6931]

Absolutely the best DCS video I've seen, and an amazing production showing the full potential of the simulator

[@saburusakai]

I watched it AGAIN, and it's amazing. I've got some experience making a couple of campaigns in IL-2 1946 thru the yrs, and I know this is a ton of time and effort. I look forward to your sequel, you are very good at this, and you know hte subject matter.

[@Nickuncle]

Rather frighteningly well done with the duration. It looks like you could put some of those scenes in a movie and no one would bat an eye.

[@McProHosting]

With the exception of a few shots the intro to this was one of the best produced videos using game footage I've ever seen. Nice anamorphic flares with Magic Bullet Looks BTW :D

[@Pod-Z]

Standing ovation, top job

[@slamraamprod]

Well EDGE, Nevada and Hormuz is almost here. It shouldn't be long before I can start to make something more intense and better than this. I haven't been producing any decent combat video over the past two years, because I simply want to include all my new ideas and concepts in Operation Final Slam.

[@lvl89wrlk21]

May I ask why the VFAT 2014 video is private? I love your work, you make fantastic videos and can't wait to see what you do with Nevada and EDGE

[@slamraamprod]

Lvl89wrlk Thanks! Maybe it is your country or type of device because that video is not private. I just checked it to make sure.

[@lvl89wrlk21]

slamraamprod Thank you very much for checking. I mostly use my phone mostly for viewing KZbin and I live in Australia so double whammy there. Have a good weekend.

[@Planesandmoreplanes]

This was a damn great job

[@Fuzzi_Dimp]

slamraamprod But still, for my part, the best DCS Movie ; )

[@mrextreme101]

Crazy good video! This is from DCS (Digital Combat Simulator): Flaming Cliffs 3. It features as number of aircraft inc. F-15, A-10, Mig-29 and SU-27.

[@Fixxxer1999]

that was probably the best war gaming film I ever saw you put me in excitement there it was unbelievable you really made me love this for sure keep up the good work

[@minecraftbuilder9155]

One of my all-time favorite DCS movies. This video truely is a 'Grand Slam'!

[@ShredSixx80s]

The edit, the video itself, the views, the cuts, just like in a movie.

[@Jeroen734]

18 minutes of epicnes! probably the best DCS vid ive ever seen!

[@kylefathauer8726]

That was one of the greatest movies I have seen. I hope you get the credit you deserve.

[@LilKiki4541]

What to say .... Simply a piece of art ... an awesome gift to all DCS fans ! Hats down man !

[@Andreazor]

Never played this game, ever. But I can still tell that this video involved a LOT of editing. Really cool!

[@skibum1610]

I was tearing up at the end with reagans speech...... phenomenal job!!!

[@zaramby]

child

[@TheGwunt]

Truely one of the best videos created from a video game I've ever seen.

[@OneTimeCrazy]

this game should win a award for the running

[@dannyh8750]

owning a 21/9 monitor its nice to see that you upload it in that ratio (even the offical trailer isnt) and nice vid

[@Werkschmiede]

Your are getting the best look and feel out of this sim, unbelievable!!!

[@FaXeN-HD]

Just had a flashback of this fanfilm out of nowhere and had to find it again, totally worth it

[@slamraamprod]

Thank you!

[@blaster454]

Thank you, Sir! Amazing video. And thanks to DCS and The Fighter Collection for developing and producing such a great simulation.

[@toothpik00]

What more can anyone say but brilliant work. Absolutely brilliant. 5 stars.

[@toadster1969]

Thank you very much for making this - it was an extreme pleasure to watch this...

[@Beeron240]

Man,I remember the good times of lock on,the first flaming cliffs and the orginal where gold.

[@ReloadedTropicalCO]

Someone please tell me why the a10's and f18's are doing the left right left right thing before breaking off, in my oppinion it ruins it a little bit...

[@SOGBIOSHOCK]

They do that to tell the wingman to follow and then proceeds to break off

[@slamraamprod]

Move the camera inside the external model. So unfortunately no working Apache cockpit, however there exists a mod which make the Apache flyable in DCS; World with Ka-50 pit. Working weapons and animated gears and lights. (I did not use that in this vid btw)

[@ironroad18]

EFFIN AWESOME! Better than anything I could ever dream of producing, editing, or creating!

[@Lowlandtigermeet]

What a great production this is. A new standard set.

[@DonKjaergaard]

Words cannot tell how amazing this movie is slamraamprod! Respect!

[@Sigma1958]

This is the best simulator/game video I ever seen :) Thanks for all the hard work you have been putting into this video.

[@Tankbuster1138]

very well made i love the cinematography the music everything about this thankyou for posting this

[@jkeiltaylor]

There are some really clever shots in there. Very entertaining.

[@redacted3945]

never seen the arma engine look so good. nice job very professional.

[@DCSMustang]

WOW. such goosbumps. much epic. WOW.

[@jordfordable]

pretty damn good if u ask me, fantastic quality, and i love the story line

[@slamraamprod]

Google: extra flyables ogrex. Then the second from the top is the mod which makes the F-18 flyable. The traffic on the carrier is indeed possible with the mission generator. You simply have to add airplanes and then set them to land on the carrier. They will park themselves along the deck automatically. You can also set to let them take off from the deck.

[@thebadcrc]

I can only dream of doing such fantastic video. This is mindblowing.

[@metalgearbas4]

What a stellar job you did with this video, or movie i should say!

[@theww2nerdrememberpearlhar372]

that was pure emotional video I almost cried because it was good

[@blueleaf1982]

The best flight combat simulator ever !

[@AmyEdwards1986]

Fantastic Job really well put together! It's amazing!

[@p0wer5000]

awesome video I heard the band of brothers theme and alot of audio from black hawk down totally awesome video!

[@slamraamprod]

I did that on purpose because most of the impacts are timed with the music. It didn't look right to add the shake 1 or 2 secs after the rhythm of the music in my opinion. But I totally get your point.

[@AlStew08]

Great video, so much effort went into this, well done. I was wondering, is there are tutorial anywhere showing how to create the lens effect you have in the very first couple of shots?

[@jacksampson9103]

Outstanding, honor flows from this one..

[@BossLuxon]

hi, great video ! I've got a question, did FC3 can be used as an addon in DCS world ? And FC3 require something like a LockOn or orther to work ? Thank you

[@Leviathan3564]

This is the best video what I've ever seen about the Flaming Cliffs!

[@TheSERGEAR]

Tango-1 Never Dies.... Superb Soundtracks,Extreme Effects,= Epic Video.. Thanx

[@H6Vaca]

yes. It is dialogue from black hawk down. Near to end amazing music from Sunshine

[@Mob1us0ne]

Hey, thanks for making that Red Storm Rising movie I've always wanted.

[@steiner1203]

Dude...this is unbeliveable.

[@comandosespeciales]

Much much better than most of the films that I have recently seen.

[@EightBall]

That was outstanding. Absolutely worth the wait :p keep them coming !

[@CapybaraConnoisseur89]

That was amazing! It made my day, definitely, your hard work is really appreciated :) Wish I could be good in DCS games,got only A-10C but I don't have balls to play it yet, got to buy decent joystick first ( not too expensive) and.. well learn how to fly there, Arma 2 or BF2 flying is just a small lesson.

[@RevalenceProductions]

Fantastic. Loved the cinematography and the Inception soundtrack ;)

[@wumbologytm4466]

Congrats on almost 300k views! :D

[@ChiefRedCloud01]

This is an excellent piece. Thanks for making it and sharing with us

[@GUnit2214]

This is the most EPIC video i have seen ! Fantastic job !

[@ParisianZee]

What the actual fuck. This is movie quality almost. How do you turn a game into that?!

[@Claymish]

Filters, loads of filters

[@johnpierson2737]

With the men of ArmA, with the aircraft of DCS, with the ships of Silent Hunter comes the simulation of no other.

[@Gh0st0071]

Unbelievable Video, I love what DCS are doing for us.. Just unreal video and game.

[@andres23122]

1 great video 2thanks 4 take part of your life to make this and share 3 great edition video and audio 4 THANKS

[@Sinbad683]

Awesome movie! What movie editing software did you use to make this?

[@GavMystro]

Hi, where did you get your battle sounds (ie. gunshots explosions, shouting soldiers, aircraft comm/radio sounds, etc..) Thanks! I would highly appreciate it if you could respond.

[@raymondgoubet]

That must have been a lot of work! Brilliant.

[@Monotheelderish]

Both. They're both really well made imho. Can't go wrong.

[@envyitf]

Wow compliments!!!! Which soundtrack uses the third minute?

[@MIPousette]

The commitment making a video like this is ridculous. Well done! May I asked how long it took to make?

[@pigyfilms266]

Nice Band of Brothers music at the end

[@arcanus55]

Amazing video, great cinematography, a real treat. thank you Uploader.

[@Youda00008]

:O i ran out of words, there is no way how to express my admiration ...... very impressive

[@Hmshood1809]

Couldn't be any better. AT ALL. I had tingles going down my spine by the MW2 theme. BTW, anyone know what happened to the proposed F-18C module?

[@wildone106]

How are you able to get the smooth mouse panning shots?! Its so herky jerky when in 'free look' mode its impossible to get such smooth motion. Great work!

[@thebritishunion3943]

are you using any programs for the camera angles or is that all in-game stuff

[@airnicholai]

the radio chatter from 0:27 to 0:47, where did you get that audio? that was perfect i love hearing stuff like that. very well done. would love to hear where you got that audio from for that 20 seconds!

[@Malcolmwxw]

One of the best movies i ever seen.

[@flomartin]

Amazing video ! Some questions : How are able to move your camera on ground ? I didn't know the F-18 existed in this game, how can you use it ? I have FC3 and it doesn't like I can fly this plane :( The footages on the carrier are amazing ! Are can you create the trafic ? With the mission editor ? Thanks a lot for the explanations, and once again, GREAT job !

[@glyphnir1893]

This vid is awesome watched it like a thousand times I always loved your vid

[@MrDeenyDark]

is a good movie and a good example for people who have no idea what it means to be in the army and the war really good video;)

[@Fuzzi_Dimp]

Best DCS movie on KZbin! Tumbs up!

[@Itamar_Shai]

Amazing Video... might just be the best flight video I have ever seen...

[@musicmystro]

Anyone know any good squadrons for FC3 with the F-15 in mind ? Learnt lots from tutorials and testing things out, made tons of notes, reference printouts. I'm good to go I think I just need a few pointers here n there player to player style. Thanks for any help :) UK based preferable but not essential.

[@henryblackburn5502]

How did you get the aircraft carrier to look so detailed?

[@tinglydingle]

An I right in saying that there was a lot of dialogue from black hawk down in this?

[@luckynumber55151]

Where did you get that Su-30 mod? I noticed you made the Russkie AWACS' bort number into a similar A-50, A-50M '42 red' / RF-50610.

[@FpsCrydo]

Could you please explaine how you got those cinematic shots I also would like to use the camera free and not locked to a plane or anything

[@thatoddguy3732]

That's an amazing movie! Great job!

[@okbsukhoi]

outstanding......OMG where are those vids from Lockon FC ? :D They were great but this one....is amazing.
