[Poll] Include in compilation or make a separate video
🕑 Added 2024-04-06 12:10:01 +0000 UTCHello there!
If you saw my recent channel update, then you know that I am working on GTA SA - Interesting Facts [Part 2]. One of 10 facts I am preparing is about random plane crashes, something that was explained on Twitter by Obbe Vermeij (ex-Rockstar technical director) in his recent post.
Actually I knew what he would say much earlier, but I will explain the details in the next channel update.
I decided to redo this portion of the video and include this information. Me and Fire_Head wasted around a week looking into it and we have this:
1. Obbe is slightly incorrect about how this feature work, but we don't blame him. He was developing this feature 20 years ago.
2. Fire_Head made me a plugin to visualize what the planes see and how it operates.
3. We also made a script to glue Carl to a plane. We now see where the plane is heading.
After wasting so much time we know how this feature works and why these planes crash. We know about the bug, which makes these crashes more frequent. And, what is more important, we know that this feature is doomed from top till bottom. There is so much information to cover and I have a perfect way to show it, but there is a problem. This fact became too huge for a compilation. Here is a dilemma:
1. I can squeeze the information and include it in a compilation. Some stuff will be simplified or entirely cut. On the other hand, it will help to make this section more 'fun' to watch.
2. I can make a separate video and explain it in a better way, including more details and longer explanations. The problem is, it will make this video more 'nerdy' and probably less appealing for the wider audience. My fear is, it would be another video killed by YT algoritms (although it is always a lottery). But, in the end, a very unique video.
What do you think? You can find a poll below.

I would say include it in the video AND give a detailed explanation.

Excellent information again, Vadim
