I've been asked to help get some footage of some combat scenes for a documentary using the WW1 Flight Simulator.
Thought ya'll might want to see some of what I've been working on.

Nice. I like the backround music. One thing I would change, if it can be done, is to have the scene shifts as fadeouts rather than the black seconds between.

It looks good, so far, Daniel.
Here is the statement from the person who's asking for the footage
The documentary titled LEGENDS OF THE SKY: THE LIBERTY DH4 tells the story of this amazing aircraft from its inception through its lifespan. Of course it was made for combat, we have interviewed two aviation historical experts who have shared two incredible true stories of American Aero squadron missions. The 50th Aero Squadron mission to help save the Lost Battalion in the Argonne Forest. That aircraft #6 flew low level supply missions, sometimes beneath the hilltops, with German machine gun often raining down on them from two sides until they were finally hit after their third pass. The crashed, pilot hit first in head, observer trying to fly it from the back but with no training, he crashed the DH and died on way to hospital. They both were awarded America's highest Award for bravery, the Medal of Honor.
The second mission is the story of a DH4 of the 166th Aero Squadron that was on a bombing mission in formation with other DH4s. Flak hit his airplane and blew out a portion of the fuselage just behind the observer. Both pilot and observer were ok, but observer wounded. The DH fell out of formation, engine trouble as well. Jagdstaffel 12 was nearby and 6 of their Fokker D7's dove on the DH. They shot the engine so it stopped and several flying wires. The Observer though badly wounded continued to fire.
Really nice!
Time period when this project will air on PBS is autumn of this year! I'll update y'all on when specifically, once those dates/times have been firmly decided.
Salute!

The documentary had a successful preshowing in Bowling Green Kentucky on the 5th, and has already started broadcasting in various states in the US. Both Kentucky and Georgia have it on their schedules as far as I know. If you look up your local PBS station you can either search the schedule for when it will be showing, or request the station to get a copy and play it sometime.
The name of the Documentary is "Legends of the Sky: The Liberty Plane"!
Salute!

Well done and congratulations on your contribution to, and completion of, the project, Daniel, a long two years ? Hopefully we'll all get to see it one day.
