I made this video to help new pilots learn how to improve their shooting.

It is also an experiment to see how you all take to animated characters in an IL2 movie. The characters are made with Moviestorm which does not yet have accurate WW2 figures, so please allow for the approximations. If this is well received then I and others may have a go at modding to get it right.

Please let me know what you think and if this technique could be used for more serious stories!

BLIP.TV High quality streaming version.

MISSION4TODAY.COM or FILEFRONT.COM Download the WMV version.

FILEFRONT XVID Version The highest quality version is which requires the XVID or DIVX codec and may cause flickering in WMP, in which case use the free VLC player.

EDIT:

For those who want more time to study the slides, download Bag The Hun or the German equivalent Horrido Des Jaegers Schiessfibel

Here are three of the exercises for quick study, with the three answers pages at the bottom:

Cheers Joe, downloading now - I'm sure it will be just as valuable to the veterans of this series as well as the new chaps

EDIT:

Brilliant work Joe!

Much more than what I was expecting; a superb movie to watch and enjoy just as much as to be used as a training film.

Well done, Joe.

Thanks all and please keep the comments coming about the Moviestorm characters. Yes, they are a bit jerky and I will have to learn how to get the best from the program, but will they work in a serious story or will you be distracted? There are already many excellent Moviestorm machinima movies that work, but none in the flight sim community.

I also appreciate that the slides could have been up for longer, but I tried to make this entertaining as well as educational so the slide time was better kept to a minimum and music was added to give it more emotion. I hoped that anyone wanting to learn more would pause the video or download the book.

I have edited my first post to provide links and also a few of the exercise pages from the book for practice.

I welcome frank criticism so I know what will work for future movies!

Great job and of course I dig the background music.
