Its about time you arrived VMF214_Jupp !! 
We need more pilots in the Air in WW1. Otherwise, the Kaiser will be drinking champagne
in Paris this Christmas and drinking tea in London by the New Years! We must stop them!

ALOTEF'S Royal Flying Corps Soundscape 1917
*UPDATED: NOW INCLUDES MODEL T FORD ENGINE*

This soundscape is intended for use as background music.
It is ambient, featuring three period-accurate songs:
-Over There (Nora Bayes)
-Keep the home fires burning (James F. Harrison)
-Maple Leaf Rag (Marine Corps Band)

There is also ambient airfield noise, bird calls, anaircraft looping overheard on a training sortie and conversation
between some men on the ground on how the war is going.

To Install:
I recommend deleting all music contained within your "Menu" folder located at:
IL2 INSTAL FOLDER\Samples\Music\Menu

Drop the included "Samples" into your IL2 install folder and overwrite when prompted.
The next time you start the game, you should hear the noise and music!
Please enjoy, a German and possibly French version of this mod is sure to follow!

HMMM...VPMedia, your picture makes me want to break out in song  ....

  The skies are alive, with the sound of Fokkers.  With songs they have sung for a couple of months          {Apologies to Richard Rogers & Julie Andrews.  The devil made me do it!}

    Excellent little soundset really sets the tone for a bash with the Hun.

Guess I can't help posting a link to some of the better and more popular or well-known songs with period recordings. It's getting closer to November 11th and the times are fitting for some music as this. I also tried to include songs from other nations. So there are 2versions of Aupres de ma Blonde - a truly old song from the late 17th century if I am not mistaken. There is also Madelon and two versions of Die Wacht am Rhein - also an older song in origin. And to round it off there is a Russian version of their period anthem - God save the Czar, to the tune of God Save the King.

The songs:

Mademoiselle From Armentieres - Durlacher.mp4
09-We Are Fred Karno's Army.mp3
Amparito Farrar - Madelon 1918.mp3
Arthur Fields - How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm 1919.mp3
Columbia Quartet - Pack Up Your Troubles 1918.mp3
Eva Gauthier - Aupres de ma Blonde 1919.mp3
March - Aupres de Ma Blonde 1920.mp3
Marion Harris - Au Revoir But Not Goodbye Soldier Boy.mp3
Nora Bayes - How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down On The Farm.mp3
Richard Tauber - Roses of Picardy.mp3
Rosa Ponselle - Keep the Home Fires Burning.mp3
Shatrov - God Save the Tsar.mp3
Wacht am Rhein 1914.mp3
Wacht am Rhein - 1904.mp3
WW I - the Colonel - Tipperary - Armentieres.mp3

The first one - Mademoiselle from Armentieres - Durlacher is really an oddity. It's a 1930's square dance version of that catchy little tune, along with traditional calls for the dancers. Really cute. All songs are period recordings, except for Fred Karno's Army ...

Nice poster. Is it an original period poster or did you make it?

Here are a few ads from the 'Illustrite Zeitung' published in Leipzig ... these are from war years. They're not really ads as such, since people never bought planes for themselves ... ha ha. But rather a moral inducing measure and a way of making Germans proud of their war production. They are also quite markedly colorful and eye-catching, with a quite modern style to them.

Thanks, but that is OUR Albatros airplane poster, not the Kaiser Air Force 
It was made in the same style as WW1 posters.
