I've been playing my B-17 game the past few days...so I had no choice than to watch...
Memphis Belle!!! Such a great movie even though not 100% accurate.

That depends on what you mean by accurate. Several of the incidents in the movie are based on real events, including the tomato soup sequence. On the other hand not one of them happened to the Memphis Belle herself.
I assume you've seen Wyler's original documentary?

Now watch On The Beach. You'll like that one too. Quote:
By accurate, I meant it isn't what exactly happened. It's a fictionalization of the last mission. It's a great movie no matter how much is fictional and fact. I'd love to see the documentary. Thanks for linking it. --- Memphis Belle went down in the game the other day....along with Liberty Belle and Mother and Country. It was sad. This game is a very immersive simulator. They've even got missing in action reports typed up for your crewmen if you bail out and they have killed in action letters if you die. It's weird to see a Missing in Action letter with my name on it addressed to my next of kin. This is my favorite flight sim.

Just clarifying what I meant.

...even though the first thing I think of is Hogan's Heroes I also read through the 15 or 16 Purple Heart letters...some posthumously. I like the way they do this in B-17 and AOTD. I've not played Red Baron so I wouldn't know about that one. They really nailed it though. The immersion in B-17 is just awesome. It's been a while since there was a sim that got me this excited. The last two were SH4 and 3. You actually feel like you're there in a way. That's why I love sim gaming so much. And...if anybody needs help starting up engines on a B-17.... That's about all I can do. The complexity is another great addition. Full working cockpits are great. FS2004 simplifies it. Just open the throttle and go...but with this, I've got to know all these other switches and handles and levers and buttons.... Love it.

The majority was filmed at RAF Binbrook because it was just about the only place with a working tower of the right vintage. Just a shame about the crash -

Court Martial? Ah... Another one? It's a cool idea though. I've never heard of a game where they do that. I'll have to look into Red Baron. Quote:

Shame to see one of the prettiest planes ever crash unnecessarily.

Saw Despicable Me 2 today.
I liked it. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. I'm not one for animated movies...but this one and Disney's Planes were very much anticipated.
