Nice Dolby.  Too bad there isn't a way to choose a skin for a film so those 25s  could have been RAF :)

Yes, it is. This type of player made film is, I think, the best form of advertisement for AHII. Well done, sir.  :salute

(Nice D-Day tribute, as well.)

Indeed, very nice work Dolby.


Yes, yes, it is, but as the 78th FG D11 victim who is so prominently featured, over and over until people said "Hey, I'll bet that's Oldman!" and I reached for the bottle, I demand compensation for my heirs.

This film should be one of HTC's advertisements, doesn't get much better than this.  Well done Dolby, will let Eastwood know that there's a great film editor he hasn't yet seen.

easy has done a great job with the custom bases and areas,

very nice film dolby sort of told a bit of a story.    :aok

How cool would it be to get 20 to 30 a side in there?    dogfights over the channel, a daring raid deep behind enemy lines,  some escorts to kill any pesky 109's that come up.    I got hooked on FA in a similar room that had German AI constantly flying in bombers, stukas and e-mils.  Make it free to play and ruin more kids lives!!

This was really good!  I didn't like the sudden black frames at the start when moving from one shot to the next, it was jarring.  Everything else was awesome, and I just spent some money because of this on some new-to-me music via Amazon.  Loved the music.

Pacing-wise, I wish you got to the action sooner.  I'm thinking of making an "Aces High Tropes" page, and number one on the list of tropes will be "spend half the film building up to something, then find out it was 15 seconds of dropping bombs, then spend the rest of the film dramatically landing."  At least you had some action after the bombs were out, but it seemed to have little to do with the bombers.  I guess its up to the viewer to guess that the German aircraft were upping to intercept the bombers, and instead got intercepted by American fighters.

Audio-video sync was awesome by the way.  That was really the best part IMO.

Still, better than Lucas's RedTails. :old:

Dolby has provide a spectacular introduction to the Normandie area, and here's MrRiplEy's posted screenshot of another area of the same terrain:
