Well personally I used to jump in the jeeps in Battlefield 'Nam and turn on the radio and just listen to the '60's soundtrack It is hard to criticize a sound track that included Creedence, The Troggs, Canned Heat Deep Purple and The Kinks

I also found the soundtracks that came with the various "Need for Speed Underground" titles pretty good listening.

A good soundtrack can help a game immensely. In terms of WWII a mixture of Vera Lynn, Glenn Miller, Marlene Dietrich and similar songs in other languages ("Lili Marleen" in German was a huge hit amongst Afrika Corp troops for example) may not be played every time you fly but would add a lot to the atmosphere of the game.

I agree that I almost always turn the music off, but one game I remember the music was epic - UFO ( the very first one ). The music was just so eerie, it's the only game I know where the music actually gave you the willies !

The best soundtrack to a WW2 flight sim has got to be the sound of the engines themselves! Get that right and it increaes the immersion factor for me.
I just prefer to listen to music on my Hi-Fi, not in the 'pit of whatever I feel like flying.

Can't wait to get today's "small update".

It's getting late...

Same with me However I was speaking about music in possible intro, menus, etc

[julien673]

Back in Black from AC/DC .. for the intro

Edit: ac dc live wire for the menus

A historic flight simulation should not have intro music from AC/DC (that sucks!), but rather appropriate sound tracks.
