question...

nice work but i've got a question: how did you make that in-game video footage that's in the trailer?

Can you use PowerPoint to make some?

If powerpoint can load .jpeg sequences as well as save as an .avi file, then there is nothing keeping you from doing that

Edit: The BWO trailer and Machina Terra trailers both use rendered squences, however the quality matches that of a tailored FS2 mission to make the scene with the HUD disabled.

The trailer's footage was done through using FS2's printscreen option.

Shockwave flash automatically strings together the images into a movie when loaded and the "load .jpeg sequence" option is used.

This allows for "cutscenes" to be easily created in the FS2 engine.
