OT: Man at war (the movie on HBO) for IL-2 series fans
 

Hi,

Small OT about 70 minutes of documentary movie about pilots of "old" IL-2 Sturmovik/FB/PF.
Polish known documentary movie director -Jacek Blawut did a picture about virtual pilots (I was too in this movie ). He did it in Poland, Russia, USA and Germany. Did big picture about history of virtual air war with IL-2 sim, when IL-2 was a first choice for II WW virtual pilots (so video materials are from 2005-2007) & his family, friends, parties ect.
In april in Polish HBO will be first show of this movie picture. In 18.04 I will be on premiere in movie theater .

I hope its a nice idea about popularization of virtual flying and I talk with HBO about English version too.

S!

Good to see virtual flying gets attention as it is not the most "hot" genre out there. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks! If you know about where I can get English or Russian version, please let me know. Want to share it with squadmates.

Hi Bendwick! You have nice role :). No, it will be only on HBO + maybe in the future in cinemas/dvd. Dont know yet.

Good news - this version it was too in English (all the movie was translated with text below the picture).

Regards!

Can't wait to see this. All my non IL-2 friends laugh at me for flying this sim for 11 years. This will show them there's other people in the world that are as crazy as I am.

And aren't we crazy? We spend on joysticks, graphics cards, processors, Track IR ... Thanks god we have Raaaid who understands us.

Amen to that Brother :)

First face I saw looked liked someone interviewed my scrotum... :-P

English translation of some of the information.



Jacek Bławut in your new document has penetrated the international community of players, showing their passion, determination, and perhaps addiction. Il-2 Sturmovik is one of the most popular computer flight simulators. Players take the pilots flying machines during World War II real-time air battles take place. Heroes of the document comes from four countries: the United States, Polish, German and Russian. They talk about who they are, explain why sometimes an interest in World War II. For some of them are just a hobby, for others, of life, which is given more time, resigning from the union or to meet friends. Together with colleagues from the squadron held a virtual training, meet at the regularly held rallies and hate your enemies - pilots from other countries, or squadrons.

Produced by Jack Bławut and HBO Poland is also the full-length picture of the latest documentary film director. Jacek Bławut is an experienced documentary filmmaker, known among other things the award-winning films, such as Abnormal, Rat in the crown and the Warrior, and recognized operator (Ten Commandments, Day of the Freak) lecturer at several film schools in Poland and abroad, and a member of the European Film Academy. His films were shown, among others at festivals in San Sebastian, Toronto, Budapest and Mannheim.

Virtual War film premiere held on 22 April at. 22.20 on HBO, and subsequent issues are scheduled for: April 25 hours. 22.00 in HBO2 (band documentary without censorship) and 27 April at. 16.00 on HBO2. The film will also be available from April 16 on HBO GO, and from 23 April in HBO IP.

Pretty sure 352nd was always in "Warclouds Western Front 44" I didn't like the icons and constant 1944 plane-set so I left and went over to Spits VS 109s. Far better for me.

Thx for sharing.

Quite interesting.

An immense thumbs up to all who had the guts to share their passion in front of the cam.

@ Richie : Deacon is a Pillar of WC. And an ace that's for sure. So much tht if one day they ended erecting a temple for the lost soul in the WC's virtual skies he would be one the most depicted ugly demons on the etching

Kind regards from TC ;)
