Restoration now uploaded to Myspleen

I was finally able to see your restoration project (Star Tours V1.0) of the ride,
thanks to someone who spontaneously provided me a Mega link to download it!

I think it’s actually the best version we can have for now. Most of the video still bury because no good quality elements are available for now. However, it’s clearly visible that Notelu proceeded to a color correction and some sharpness improvement this way the picture stills less messy and less yellowish. And then, near the end, here comes the Death Star trench run which is obviously in a far better quality and far more enjoyable since Notelu is using the HD video (sadly cropped but still HD) which was made available on YouTube by Kris Van de Sande:

Color correction was made here which altered some effects: yellowish colors of some explosions and lasers are missing, it’s probably to make the HD footage matching perfectly with the low definition one which is used to extend the cropped image to provide a constant screen ratio (2.40:1)
Notelu’s work is definitely brillant! And it’s even more impressive with the 60fps version that he also provided.
Footage is really fluid and is really impressive when the picture comes in HD for the Death Star trench run!
Thank you so much Notelu! 😃
