Ha THANK YOU! I always get confused looks because I listen to things like acoustic rock, but also have quite a collection of heavier stuff. I don't even mind some reggae in there!

Why must we choose one genera and viciously defend it against all others? Why can't people who like country also like Rock etc.?

Achem... Rant over. Anyway I shall probably be going classical when it comes to IL-2, I feel like it sets the mood best.

a great piece to listen to (works well on red cliffs of dover, due to battle of britain) is -

battle in the air (sir william walton), its the music from the 1969 film "battle of britain" where the climatic dogfight is happening overhead. A chilling piece of music and really sets the mood. It lasts for roughly 5 minutes so is quite long. I will post a clip of it if poss.

Or you can play "Cliffs of Dover"(entirely instrumental) in the Cliffs of Dover mission.

I just got through playing that song on Guitar Hero III, God bless Eric Johnson!

Music, in this game, is really incredible for my taste. I think I will finish everything with the OST that it carries... maybe when I have all my work done I´ll try Wagner or something that invites to liberate Europe.

Good man

Also, it's a sailing song, but I always think that Crosby, Stills & Nash "Southern Cross" works. Maybe it's just me? I can't remember the hundreds of times my father used to play that song over and over again. It's been burned into my skull LOL

music kicks in after about 30 seconds or so.. a very good clip from the film. Epic piece of music.

Did you know that the 109s used in that movie were Spanish ones, not actual German 109s. It's sorta easy to tell when it shows the close ups, and the 109s have the Hispano-Suza engine. Which the Yak-3's Klimov M105PF-2 engine is a copy of, just Russian designed

growing up watching the film i obviously had no idea, i just really enjoyed it. It was truly epic. But then as you get older and you enjoy these thnigs more you do come to realise that they are not legitimate etc, but does not hide the fact that its an incredible film.

If im correct, also the HE111's used in the film didnt have the HE111's engine but something different, not sure what.

For the film they had a fair few spitfires but only 2 or 3 airworthy hurricanes.

Still one of the greatest war films ever made!!

battle of britain
633 squadron
the dambusters

three superb war films.

Yes, the He-111s had a different engine than they would have. Also, there weren't as many He-111s as it seems. Actually, there was just 1 single He-111, and I've actually been in it. It was in Arizona, and I saw it fly over. Thought it was weird, drove a bit more. Suddenly there's a Air Museum, and the He-111 had just taxied to a stop. I even got to get in it, and look around. Looks just like the real thing. Also, the Spitfires in the movie, were actually MkIXs!!!!

EDIT: Also, some Leo Kottke is good to play when your flying.
