I am hoping that some folks might try to make a Movie (for the ongoing
Movie Competition) using clips from one of the History Channel Dogfight shows. I think that IL-2 (with Mods) and definitely Cliffs of Dover could be used to present Visuals at least as realistic as the expensive HC CGI aircraft, and definitely more realistically maneuvering, physics effects,etc. Such a movie could simply re-create one of the Dogfights in the HC Series, but do so much better....keeping the Movie entry down to 10 minutes or less, though. The 30 minute HC shows always had repeats of the visuals,
several repeats of the same clips. Blatantly obvious too. When they were stretching a possible 3-5 minute dogfight to 30 minutes, they had no choice I guess, as it would have been WAY too expensive to do mutiple CGI scenes from different perspectives....but, with IL-2 Trks, that could be done easily.
Such an IL-2 Movie entry might show some HC Dogfight footage interspersed with IL-2 'footage', for comparison, as just one approach.
So...there's the challenge! Jump into the
Movie Competition...you've got 3 month to create your movie. Re-create the Red Tails scene/maneuver and you
might get a special award.....no promises though.

P.S. Remember that no Icons, text, HUD, etc will be permitted in a
Movie Competition entry.
