also the fact that the B17 crew in the movie didnt wear gloves
is that it isnt a B17 interior but a B25 my guess its from CFS3 I cant confirm this as I havent flew in CFS3 for a long time but the squirky Machine gun sounds from the Gunners positions gave it away

From what I've seen of pictures from real B-17 bombers, they actually largely got the interior right in United Offensive, did they not?

Just watched part of the movie and yes, I have to agree with Chock. I did not find the camera that bad, but the voice acting and machine-gun sounds were just terrible. The machine gun sound effects were not synchronized with the firing of the machine guns, and the people talking were utterly unenthusiastic. It was litterally like watching the replay of an FPS with VOIP chatter between players. Maybe the developers though bomber gunners really were this calm after long experience with battle, but I sincerely doubt they really were. Also, after Faith, Hope and Charity, I really thing movie-makers, me included, should work more on bringing different character traits into the movie.

I can't speak about the large number of inaccuracies of the movie, and so I'll have to take Chock's word that it takes major liberties. If it does, it clearly clashes with its opening message that it's very accurate.

If anyone is looking for a decent little book that's great for teaching you film techniques, I can certainly recommend this one, which I still occasionally re-read: Directing on Camera, A Checklist of Video & Film Technique, by Harris Watts. (ISBN-0-9507582-2-1)
A little quote on the back cover ought to give you some idea of how good this book is: 'This book should be handed out to all film students and, possibly, to all film directors to keep beside them at all times. It is thorough, concise, well laid out and, surprisingly for a handbook, it's a good read! I wish he had written it when I first started my career' - John Schlesinger. (who of course directed such classics as: Far from the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy, Marathon Man, Yanks, Billy Liar, A Kind of Loving etc etc) you can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Directing-Came...5314177&sr=8-1 Chock

JEEZ.. I thought it was pretty good. Just thought some other people would like it too. I had no idea Video GAME movies were getting so huge. Maybe there'll be a convention and awards soon? I don't know, I just fly simulators for fun...
P.S. It was cooler than some of the $#@% I've seen coming from the history channel, like showing a 190 and calling it a Messerschmit... |

this is a film I like:
I don't think it's intended to tell a true story, but I think it's nicely done.

Has to be ignorance on the part of the Editors, or the script writers. There is NO resemblence between the two aircraft, and it's been what almost 70 years...it can't be hard to get the designations correct. It's called the HISTORY channel for cryin' loud...and they always want to compare aircraft abilites and why one pilot could do this and that...c'mon..I could do better. Next they'll be calling an RF-8 a Corsair II.
