Great movie and I love the music. It goes perfect with the black and white film. One tip, set a key command to turn off the hud so it looks like a real film. Great work. Cant wait to see your next. :)

Thanks Bombsaway. :) Once I've purchased a proper screen capture and don't have to worty about bouncing logos (and game HUDs) I'm sure things will improve!
Kind regards,
Mike.

Good idea VPmedia. :)
I just finished a second, much better video. This is a promo for DBW 1916 as a whole, showing the EIII, Sopwith Camel and GIII Bomber. Some funny things happen in it. :P Critiques welcome. :)

Wow,  at first I thought, "What language is he speaking....."  LOL.   

Seriously, that was a fun video.  I find taking off very easy.  It is the landing that sometimes vexes me.  I'm waiting for part 2.  I want to see if you land on one of the those great big English airfields, you know, the ones that look like a cricket field or if you land on a Yankee style runway.  Regards!

Lol spade. :P I'll do part two of that soon, it will include both sorts of runways. I've already finished a Carrier-landing tutorial which I will upload soon. Until then, here's some of my more "lively" flying.  ;D

Looks great Mike.  I love the Albatross!  You know if you create many more of these vids, you're gonna need to make the fonts smaller on the links to your other videos!   ;D

Cool videos , I like them. Thank you.

I have a small suggestion , try saving your ammo a little, you are shooting way too much in the video.
The greatest Aces of all time (including the WW1 ace MV Richthofen) advised their students and collegues to always save ammo and
shoot only when they are very close to the enemy.
Your first priority is not to shoot down your enemy´s airplane or its engine, but the pilot who controls it. Once the pilot is dead, you
will get your victory.
Fly close to the enemy as much as possible and when you see that you have the enemy pilot in your gun-sight, kill him.
Its a dirty business, but someone has to do it... Its either him or you.
The reason to save your ammo is that you never know how many enemy airplanes are around in the sky and you could be stuck
fighting off alot of them.... like what happened to Werner Voss.

A very famous WW2 ace also advised to go in for a kill as close as possible to the enemy airplane, once you shoot it down or have the
possibility of downing another one close by, do it quickly and then leave the crime-scene and go back home.
Your job for the day is done.
Famous words of advice from Erich Hartmann (352 victories - top ace of all time)

Post by: alotef on October 13, 2012, 06:35:56 PM

Good points Max, thanks. :)
I'm too used to WW2-styled fighting, trying to hit fuel tanks and engine components. I have started aiming for the pilot and have been achieving much better results.
There's no place for chivalry over Flanders!  ;D

Post by: max_thehitman on October 13, 2012, 06:45:20 PM

I try my best to follow in the instructions of the great aces and I have been having much success, although
alot of the time I spend flying in combat in the IL-2 , I spend way too much time zig-zagging around trying to get a
hold of my enemy as close as possible. In WW1 airplanes is not easy at all. They are extremelly agile.
No wonder Richthofen "only" had 80 kills and not more.

In WW2 the airplanes are much faster and the weapons pack a much more harder punch so its much better to get
a kill. Although by following Hartmann´s style of shooting I often end up getting alot o damage on my aircraft. So did he from
what he says in many interviews and books. Many times he got so close he crahsed into the enemy airplane. LOL
I also like the style of the "Star of Afrika" with using precise and well placed deflection shots. Deflection shotting is alot of
fun in WW1 airplanes too. You can always get back to a safe distance and let the bullets fly out and meet your enemy at
a deadly spot in the sky.

Aerial gunnery is a tricky skill to master for sure! How cool is it that we can apply historical tactics to good effect in IL2!?
