Nice job. I enjoyed that. Keep up the good work.

[Caveman]

Excellent... Best work I've seen in a long time. Sound effects, music, editing, and angles were to top notch... Keep it up...

[robtek]

while technically flawless the story is too simple with too much clichés for my taste.

[Aviar]

Incredible stuff. As far as direction and cinematics, that's the best IL-2 movie I've ever seen.

Is it all directly from IL-2?

:arrow:Yes mate all il2 engine with a fat dose of Fx for immersion.

[Tbag]

I have to agree with caveman, best work I have seen for a long time! Some voice acting or subtitles would have helped the storyline though. Great work fireflyerz!

[Talon]

I really enjoyed this movie.
Nice camera angles, views, pan and zoom. The FX were very nice.

[Red Dragon-DK]

All I can say.... WAU

[T}{OR]

Great angles and editing, I was speachless when I saw it. Story is missing to make it perfect.

Once again, great job! Loved it!


EDIT: What kind of person would give grade 1 to this thread? UBI ZOO blue whiners member I guess because this certainly doesn't deserver grade 1...

[fireflyerz]

:arrow:Wow when ya get feedback like this it make all that time spent going over and over and over and over the same scene trying to get it perfect and all the frustration......Worthwhile......cheers guys:grin:

[mazex]

Darn vulchers!

Seriously though - best cutting and atmosphere in any IL2 movie I've seen! I agree that the story could be improved, but we can't have it all - can we? ;)

I guess it's all a matter of opinion or taste, but I don't get why people are saying the 'story' needs something, like voices or subtitles, or something else.

If you watch the entire movie, the story is quite apparent. It's told in the form of action, drama and music. All movies do not need to follow a cookie-cutter format.

I rarely watch an entire IL-2 movie, as most are not very well made. Watching Eagles, I was riveted from the start and entertained right to the end.

The editing alone was fascinating to watch. It put almost all other IL-2 movies to shame...very professionally done.

Was this a one-man operation or a team effort? How many man-hours do you think went into the project?

Very nice, Fireflyerz!

Please check pm :)

[Bobby109]

Damn fine work!

terrible pilot in the 190 though, how can you miss when you fly that one ;)

[Ala13_Kokakolo]

very nice. I'm passing the link to my sqad so they will watch it.

[fireflyerz]

:arrow:Once again folks thanks for the feedback, for thoes of you looking for things like voice overs ,subtitles ect, ect , im sorry but I think that kind of stuff is a bit silly and as for the story, yes its very basic but as I said in another thread on another forum , this is commando comic style story telling , nothing more.

Aviar...It took about two and a half months to make in my spare time and yes I work alone, also this story has been cut short for the Ubi competition, if you were watching there were two 190's covering the airfield the one that you see was the novice wingman. Maybe I will release the full version in a couple of months:grin:

Whatchig it again and again (i really like it) i would like to know with resolution do you have. Some of the scenes look reaaaaally nice and neat. I know the map is slovakia and the new skins but even that the graphics look better than anything i saw (without the "help" of the technic, obviously) Which video card and resolution are you using?

:arrow:I use Nvida gtx.xxx and N.hancer, my resolution is 1440x900, I record at 30 fps and then convert to 25 for production,I also use a high end dule core but often switch to single for detailed scenes as I find this works better:grin:

Ps... I allways record in perfect mode OGL.

[EAF602_Joe90]

Ah, that would explain why the aircraft seem to fly and manouvre just that little slower than in game! Was that intentional?

It actually makes the flight look a lot more realistic, especially on rolls where game rollrates are impossible in real life - a nice little trick :)

Same goes for damaged aircraft spinning violently to the ground.

[MadJek]

I really enjoyed the movie. I agree with all of the other positive comments about the angels and shots you used. Just fantastic! I really liked the opening shot looking through the Ju-88s lower left panel as the bombs hit. Wow! Really cool!

There are so many great shots in this video. I applaud your efforts and appreciate your willingness to share this with everyone.

I do have one question... Why the 2 different skins on the P-51's? Did you like the skins, or was it a take on a historical action. It seemed like the different skins were a bit out of place. But, that should not take away from the superb movie you have created! Excellent work!

[fireflyerz]

:arrow:I did a lot of testing before I started to make this movie with skins and how they would work against low level backdrop as this is where most of the action would be taking place and settled on thoes too and also because I wanted to give the impression that they were taking it in turns to have a pop at the nme I wanted them to be visually very different and easily distinguishable, this is above all else a visual movie, you will find little historical correctness here.:grin:

[MadJek]

Thank you for your response. Your movie is fantastic! I hope you do another!!!!

fireflyerz excellent movie !! Can you please tell me how you obtain such an excellent immage ? What tool did you use to encode the movie ?

[Ala13_Kokakolo]

Fireflyerz; minute 3:13 and 3:58, BF cockpit, over the magnetos switch: WHAT IS THAT PICTURE DOING THERE? HOW DID U DO THAT? Is that because of the 4.09 beta or is something else you cannot say without being banned?

As you know, you have entered your movie into the 2008 Flight Sim Movie Competition (http://flightsimmachinima.montydan.com/2008-competition). As Administrator of the Competition I am unable to officially comment in this forum in detail on your entry's merit....other than to note that it is obviously a worthy and high-quality entry, and to wish you Luck.

Unrelated to the competition, itself, and responding only to your comment, above, I would like to note that each Issue of the "Commando Comic" series included distinct "stories" and lots of 'dialogue' and text, as one would expect in a 'comic'.

[fireflyerz]

:arrow:Commando comic ..."STYLE" story telling ,Short,entertaining,Heroic,eazy to follow story line ,visually pleasing and I think that it is what it dose.

[crazyivan1970]

Fantastic!!!

[choctaw111]

That was a very enjoyable movie. Great job on the editing and really good use of the angles and everything else.

Edit...I am glad you had a download link. That one went into my Il2 movies folder :)

[WeedEater]

:-P That Dora pilot was a noob...
Fantastic movie though, could hardly belive it was IL2

[Snuff_Pidgeon]

Amazing work.
