Requiem

Yes i'm sure many of you have watched this hundreds of times (I know I have) but in the off chance some of our new players have not had the opportunity to watch this gem I will post a youtube link.  (tho' downloaded higher quality version w/ the speakers blasting is a better way to go)

This film was created w/ IL2 as opposed to AcesHigh, and is the standard to which all over films of this type should judged against.

It's just flat out the best out there (still... and it's years old)

Even after the 100th time watching it I wanna jump in a FW190 and fly.

That was very nice. Set to that music even the crashing seemed graceful.

actually, I THINK it's you sig. that made me post this.

I was clicking to open a new tab in my Firefox so I could check my email (i'm too lazy to actually move the mouse all the way to the Firefox link) and it just happened to be your sig.  Some post in O'Club.

I've always loved that film (had it for years) and as I sat and watched it I was so moved (almost always bring a tear) that I wanted to make sure that the new players in AcesHigh had the opportunity to watch this gem.

I think that was a good idea.  It is indeed a classic.

I've seen that video many times, it's beautiful, and the music makes it that much better.

A better camera view system would aid making movies in AH  a lot.  Even a simple fly-by would be a nice addition/
