As for forum questions, we need to get our game questions answered first. Been waiting months for that.

we got a sneak peak of the website yesterday

it looks awesome , but it needs ALL the planes (even multiplayer)

it also needs to list some of the simulation information and stuff

like take off and landing

here is another question for jeremy

why the strong use of brass sections for the music?

Should we expect to see you in the dangerous skies of BoP? LoL

BTW, thank you very much for the amazing music! Everytime I play any flying game I always catch myself whistling one of your songs from the trailor.

I do have questions for Mr. Soule:

The music we've heard simply sounds perfect. How is that? Seems we're programmed for a certain type of score to accompany action like this to go well with the bravery of the men in that war, particularly air battles.

To get that dna-coded tie-in, did you research movie scores that would tug at that cord or straight orchestral music not composed for movies? What movies and pieces inspired you the most for your original creation?

Also, great work in general. You seem to know how to add "epic" musically to games. Thoroughly enjoyed SW:KOTOR in particular.

Just my compliments on the best video game music EVER.

I have a question for Jeremy Soule.

Jeremy, Will your music be featured on both the European and the North American versions of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey?

The reason I ask is because I saw this a while back:

"Jeremy Soule (KOTOR, Oblivion) and Joss Ackland (Lethal Weapon 2) performing on 1C Publishing’s IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. Soule will be applying his unique talents to composing an exclusive European soundtrack for the game, whilst Ackland’s momentous, timeless and distinctive tones will be the backbone of the UK and US version of the game’s narration."

What does exclusive European soundtrack mean?

Answer to your question:
"Yes, Jeremy Soule’s soundtrack will feature on the X360 and PS3 versions of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey across all territory releases"

My question to Mr. Soule: Have you made any stylistic choices, used certain instruments or sounds, or integrated any particular motifs in your score that reflect flight or the perils thereof?
