DCS: THE RIGHT STUFF (12 minutes) took me 2 years and 210 shots to complete, and is made in memory of the great Chuck Yeager. It's also dedicated to the entire DCS World community. As The Right Stuff original feature film from 1983 is one of my favorite movie of all time, I always wanted to know what really happened to Yeager during his zoom climb attempt with the NF-104A 56-762 on December 10, 1963... 59 years ago today!!! As an editor/director IRL, and with the powerful graphics and camera tools from DCS World, I saw a great opportunity to deliver a story that could make you, the audience, understand a little bit better what was the feeling of being a test pilot during the 60s. With quite a lot of historical research, and with the precious help from the VSN team, we managed to deliver a nice NF-104A Mod with accurate skins for DCS :) Again, I can't thank you enough for your precious support , it means a lot to me. Special thanks go to the mighty VSN team and all my cast and crew. And with the icing on the cake, the movie is narrated by the great Vincent "Jell-O" Aiello from The Fighter Pilot Podcast. Have a good time, guys. Hope you'll enjoy. Fly safe, fly Metal.
