"Bloodlust" - IL-2 WWII Dogfight 4K Cinematic
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 02. 2022
- A short film that depicts the actions of a 4-ship Spitfire Squadron during the Second World War.
'Riksen' (Red-1 & Squadron Leader), 'Mac' (Red-2), 'Zach' (Blue-1 & Camera Man) and 'Al' (Blue-2) engage enemy Fw 190 and Me 109 fighter aircraft over the skies of Holland during Operation Market Garden.
Through the lens of 'Bumper-Blue-1', this film takes you on a combat sortie from Deurne Airfield (Antwerp, Netherlands) into the region of Eindhoven, NL in an attempt to cover the airborne ground troops that landed the previous day.
The video for this film was captured from a flight against other human pilots in a WWII flight simulator called "IL-2 Sturmovik" - in a Multiplayer server called "Combat Box by Red Flight" (www.combatbox.net). Most of the world audio was captured from the 'DCS World' flight simulator.
Soundtrack "Bloodlust" written and recorded by NEATOSIMS (Zach Lamothe) and Jeff Valentini - Jeff volunteered 100s of hours into making this video the best that it could be. We had done several 10+ hour shifts (often fueled by single-malt Scotch) dissecting every moment of the movie to make sure that the audio complimented the picture the best that it possibly could. He always had my specific vision in mind and diligently channeled his musical knowledge, talent and passion into this project to the nth degree. I can't thank Jeff enough for the help making this film the best that it can be! Drop by his Sound Cloud if you'd like to hear more from his profound and diverse library: / jeffvalentini

Award winning quality on all fronts. Really pulls you in. Some moments are so nerve wracking, but in a good way. Bravo!
Thanks so much, Chad! And I also appreciated the pre-launch feedback as well ;)
It was a brave Luftwaffe pilot that took to the air in late 44 -----45 Sky was full of P51s P47s P38x Tempests Typhoons AND Spitfires THATS A LOT OF FIRE POWER
They had something to fight for.
Yea, very 'brave' to give your life and take life for a malignant, murdering, madman dictator.
@@steadyeddie7 Read more, watch less History Channel.
@@steadyeddie7a lot of the men didn’t know that at the time. There is a event called Denazification which was the allies forcing and showing the german population what Hitler and the riech actually did.
Speaking of Stalin? Richtig! @@steadyeddie7
We need more of this!! This is hands down THE BEST WW2 cinematic I’ve seen to date.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! Certainly inspires me to want to get some more content up as soon as possible!
One of the best IL2 videos I've ever watched. Amazing photography and wonderful soundtrack.
Wow thanks so much, Ricardo!
excellent squadwork, from comms to execution - just great!
I am really late but my god this video is insane !
One of the best cinematic about ww2 airfight i saw on internet.
Incredible work ! Thanks a lot !
its 2024 and this is still an amazing cinematic
This is like… the best cinematic gameplay I’ve ever watched of dogfighting. Grade fucking A. Earned a loyal follower in me.
immediate subscription to you after 10 min of this video insanely immersive and the music and cinematography are unreal great work
It would be an honor to fly a mission with you and your team. Well done, boys! Every thing about this video was *chefs kiss*
Wow, love the Dunkirk style of visuals, and great soundtrack
THE IL2 COMMUNITY THANKS YOU FOR THIS
What a masterpiece! I don't even wanna know how much time and work you put into it. Thumbs up for this great movie! This is the best advertising this game can get! I'm looking forward to future projects from you.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Knipser! A lot of love was put into this one for sure!
EXCELLENT ! MERCI. On s'y serait vraiment crû et c'est la première fois que je le vis avec ce sentiment.
En même temps je comprends mieux les interviews des anciens pilotes. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
This is so cool. I don’t have a PC but I wanna get one and get all the sim gear to play this. Looks sick as hell
Great stuff. This is my favorite kind of video. First time watching but worth the instant subscribe. 👌
This is beautiful, I would love to see this with the flying circus DLC
Beautiful plane, over the gardens of England
You've got some nice camera angles man. And also great work on composing those soundtracks.
I had to edit this again. I was just Impressed by how immersive the soundtrack was in combination to the scenes. Everything's just well put out and immersive from the scenes of taking off, hunting down planes and shooting down planes. Every scene has a different experience just from those soundtracks. Really well done.
Wow thanks so much, Ernest! Really appreciate the feedback here - we certainly put a lot of love into the soundtrack sequence by sequence so I'm really happy to hear that it's helped with the immersion
This is really good stuff, great job!
This puts the air battles into a whole new light, well done indeed
Absolutely first rate!!
If this doesn't get a few clan members playing IL-2 together I'm giving up on 'em!
Hope to see more soon! :)
Hey thanks, Seajay! Yes I would love to see more Squadrons and teamwork in MP servers - I'm thinking about making my next video series a tutorial on Squadron teamwork - Will likely start on that soon!
@@NeatoSims Of the handful of us that just picked up Sturmovik, only 3 of us have VR and they're 8hrs behind me.
(Damned timezones!) "Pancake" lads obviously having issues, so we're thinking of doing the "bomber crew" mod thing, with one or two of us as escort fighters to bring in the boys who are without the VR advantage. -Which I must say is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!
Would love to see you boys against another team with a counterpoint video to yours!
@@capnkit VR IS freakin' awesome and I'm always pushing it to Squadron mates that aren't using it! Although VR does have its advantages, I find that the guys that are using TrackIR with a mega screen are the ones that are confidently identifying planes from much further away than the VR folks.. so it seems to have its disadvantages as well.
Yes the next cinematic I'd like to create out of a flight where we don't do nearly as well and faceoff against larger formations of enemies - stay tuned!
Just Wow!
As a felow VR-Pilot, i really appreciate this.
Great Production!
Thanks for the kind words! I wish that everyone could do VR with flight sims as it truly is something - Hopefully see you in the skies!
Great job on this cinematic masterpiece!
Great, just great video!
Your communication on radio is solid, though it is clear you guys have your main experience from modern jetfighter fights.
The expressions used on radio during ww2 were slightly different, but no matter. Very entertaining.
Thank you very much, sir! We have no experience in modern jet fighters as we fly exclusively WWII warbirds; however some of our tactics and communication techniques are likely borrowed from other eras of dogfighting.
I was lucky enough to be in 2 early IL2 movies. Red stars over. Berlin and Last man standing. Well before this high def wss avaioable. Flew in the TX and LW squadrons. Great lil film, well done. Miss that sim.
Thanks, William! I'll have to check out those early IL-2 movies as well
@NeatoSims played it for near 12 years an still have good freinds around the world because of the sim. I loved the Russian stuff. On open servers we had a group that would only play russian bombers, we were called the Red Swarm lol. Skip bombing ships with the Tu-2 was one of my fave things, carried 3 x 2000 kg Bomba.
Very well done Film, and one of the best in his kind... Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Luis!
Great job Man, Amazing!
it's a good film, music, phraseology, edition, nice work guys
This is a fantastic job, amazing, impressive shooting skills
Top production effort! Well done!
Great teamwork in the sky as well.
I appreciate that, Phil - Thanks for watching!
Good work all round, keep it up!
This is amazing Zach! Incredible video, music, editing and all... Movie like and worth of an Oscar hahahaha. Love it mate! Best video so far...
Thanks, man! That sortie wouldn't have been the same without your leadership so a big thank you for that as well!
Absolutely superb, gentlemen.
EXTREMELY WELL DONE!
this was fantastic
Brilliant!
3 on 1 bravo! hell of a squad
Well done!
Great cinematic capture of angles and very well edited. I would only say maybe radio comms are too modern. Back then it was, "Red Leader this is Blue Leader, Tally banidts 12 o'clock high" "Roger banidts, I'm going in". The only piece missing IMHO. EDIT* Shoulda watched the whole vid first! @17:00 you guys get it right :)
Thanks, Dave! We try our best to stay WWII-period with our communications, but often in the heat of things it gets forgotten
Well done! 👍👍
Brilliant.
Great video.
Nice to see allied aircraft bringing it to the axis powers for a change , to many vids of 109’s and foka wolf’s absolutely smashing allied aircraft out there .
Fun to watch, good team works and comms. Since you have a center mounted stick I would suggest you offset it a 10 of 15 degree to the left so you have your right hand rest more natural. It less painful of the wrist and will increase you precision. Thanks for sharing this ;)
Thanks for watching!
Re: the center-mounted stick; that is excellent advice, although since the time of making this video I have changed sticks (The VKB Gunfighter) with a stick extension - and I couldn't be happier with how it's set up! I would imagine that it looks painful twisting that short Warthog grip around in the video with it in the very center but I've been able to update my setup since then!
That was damn cool
Damn this is pretty well done, thx for such cool content! One thing though, the camera is kind of jittery...maybe that can be fixed?
Yes I agree - That is the nature of capturing from VR sadly - I would love to find a solution at some point as it bothers me as well!
That was nice!!!
Well Done! Very good watch 👍
Whoa, NeatoSims guy. I was probably your first subscriber and your channel has gone from simple demo's to a dramatic series! I don't even play the game, but really want to start. It's just w/ my guitar addiction (and the cough syrup) I can't even afford a Hotas...yet V.R, or not I want in. You have totally turned me on to the Spitfire too.
I just wish they would do a proper Battle of Britain (the most incredible battle of WW2!). I would love to see that.
As your number 1 fan, I would love to see a another Ground Support mission like the last vid, which was intense! Based on what I'm seeing in this vid that would be infinitely more exciting than the last. This is your best vid yet. (Am I seeing a pattern?)
Glad to see you back. Bell still clicked, as always. :
Thank you for your service, and God speed, little doodle ;)
Whow thanks, Terry! You really gotta get into this at some point, it's a freakin blast!
What about the Spitfire are you finding more attractive these days? I'm glad to hear that you're coming around to it because it's my favorite WWII warbird and it really is amazing to sim/fly.
IL-2 "Cliffs of Dover" is releasing VR capability soon and I'm beyond excited about it because it's a complete Battle of Britain package... I'm really hoping that the video editing aspect of that sim is comparably as robust as IL-2 "Great Battles" because I would absolutely love to do a BoB thing, as well as another ground attack mission and also something in the Mediterranean / North Africa!
Thanks again for the kind words and you'll have to make me a soundtrack item soon ;)
@@NeatoSims I wouldbe honored, on that last point. I've done a couple of soundtracks, but more of a, "hand-off", than "hands on" like on this vid.
As for the Spitfire. It was actually your channel. Even as a Canadian I found myself more attached, and interested in the U.S and their weapons. Kept seeing you in a Spitfire, and it piqued my interest. From their you start hearing more about the RAF, and RCAF and inevitably, "Wow"!
(Plus, those guys got more chicks than Bill Wyman - LOL [couldn't resist]).
P.S - All 3 of those plans for vids sound great. The Mediterranian is terribly neglected.
Really nice one! the mix of gameplay and cinematic is awsome! do you have hdr on in-game?
Thanks Barone! I absolutely have HDR activated for both my VR view and when I do the capture from the footage afterwards on the ol' flat screen 👍
love it!!!!
The default skins are gargabe, wish those you show would came with the plane!.
Speaking about the video, nice editing!
P.S - Incredible music! Hat's off to Mr. Vallentini, and Mr. Lamothe. BIG contributors. Keep those guys happy to volunteer.
So...keep em in the Scotch, and their minds off any additional perks they may realize they deserve.
Great video. A little too chatty, though, and no stress in their voices.
Nice!
Great video! What VR equipment did you use and also what PC specs do you need to run this game in VR at a decent quality?
Thanks Eric!
At the time I was using a Vive Pro (have switched over to a Reverb G2 since then) and my Alienware R12 pre-build specs are:
CPU: 11900F
GPU: 3090
32GB of RAM
nice combat
JUST WOW
Love the music. Very hans zimmerish
What an amazing compliment - Zimmer is a very big idol of mine - Thank you so much!
So when can we expect the next one?? 👀
That's so cool you did a video from the perspective of the bad guys of WW2.
😆😆
Au top bravo
Sensacional ❤
Wow
Amazing
Great soundtrack
And
Spit 14e for the win!!!
One of the best IL-2 videos I’ve ever seen. You did a fantastic job of capturing what the experience is like. Didn’t read the description until after, but heard a call out from Maniac 1 on the radio and knew right away you were on Combat Box.
I don’t see any info in the description about your VFG. I assume you guys are in a virtual fighter group, correct?
Wow thanks so much CueBall! Really appreciate that.
Ah yes great point about the VFG - I'll update the description with info on that and a link to our Discord/site. I'm involved with a few VFGs for different sims but this particular sortie was run with 41 Squadron RAF: www.41squadron.org/
Hi fellow canadian!
Hello from Sudbury, Ontario!
すごいですね！
What set up is this
Hey there - Setup is the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle + flight stick with the Logitech rudder pedals. VR is the Vive Pro. Home made sim-pit with a Spitfire cockpit overlay I'd added in video editing (to give perspective on where I'm looking out of).
Sweet... how much for the VR setup?
Thanks Euan - It was about $1500 back when I'd bought it so pretty expensive; however there are great headsets available now like the Reverb G2 and the Quest 2 that are much cheaper with a comparable resolution
👍
This was better than the entire Battle of Britain movie.....
That's such a great compliment - Amazing film! Thanks so much for watching!
the game is IL 2 Sturmovik? ? with VR?
You betcha!
@@NeatoSims what set up you have for this flight simulator??
@@frkop Back then I had:
PC: Ryzen 7800 CPU and a RTX 2070
Flight gear: Thrustmaster Warthog stick + throttle and Logitech rudder pedals
VR: HTC Vive Pro
Nowadays I have switched to:
PC: Ryzen 7800X3D with an RTX 3090
Flight gear: VKB Gunfighter III stick, Thrustmaster Warthog throttle (I love it and stuck with it), MFG Rudder pedals with the P-51 foot pedals + hydraulic damper, and a few other panels.
VR: HP Reverb G2
While I will agree that it is a nicely done film and you are to be congratulated on it, I do have a few of questions to ask as maybe I misunderstood the lead in.
Were the pilots of the German aircraft also real live people or AI? If they were live then they were not of the quality of the Spitfire pilots to be sure. The Spitfire pilots seemed to be military pilots of the present, either active or non active, based on the jargon used. Why were the German aircraft all flying solo or at most maybe two together? Pretty easy prey for a couple of squadrons to take them out.
Although I am fimiliar with Operation Market Garden I am not a student of its finer pionts. What were the air statistics of that battle? If I recall correctly the allies lost Operation Market Garden. Some how I think it is probable that the German may have held their own in the battle.
Just curious, no insult intended toward anyone. As I stated earlier, entertaining , nice film presentation.
H.R.Weyer
Hi Harry - Thanks so much for watching; great questions as well.
The German aircraft were also piloted by human players as well; however you are correct, and the best answer I would have is that we got lucky to catch a couple of aircraft on their own (I'm not sure whether they were with a Squadron and RTB or if they opted to go out solo). This gave us a great advantage in all of the scenarios in this film.
Lastly, the Operation Market Garden aspect was the base 'scenario' for the flight (location and ground objectives) and was by no means meant to represent an accurate depiction on what air combat would have looked like during the operation.
Thanks again and take care!
@@NeatoSims Thanks for answering my questions, it is most appreciated. Your answers cleared up my concerns and clarified the nature of this particular scenario. Somehow the lead in made me think this was an organized re- enactment, similar to the events I flew in, " ROF: The First Great Air War" . I was mistaken.
Best regards,
Harry Weyer
Marvel's stuff 😎👍
All great flying, until one of them undershoots the runway!
I had to do quite a bit of 'movie magic' to make that landing look remotely okay.. It was definitely not our finest
Thanks for watching!
@@NeatoSims I was just joking, what stood out was the other spits, landing right in front, on the actual runway!
What IL-2 game is this? Cant be cliffs of dover because theres no VR in it.
This is from the IL-2 Great Battles (Scenario from the Battle of Bodenplatte DLC I believe)
No swastika on the vertical stabilizer of the German fighter?
Sadly no.. IL-2 does not allow swastikas for legal reasons
5 blade props, Super Marine?
Yessir - Supermarine Spitfire MkXIV
@@NeatoSims Bad to the bone!
Mk.IX's?
Mk XIVs (audio from the Mk IXs from DCS though)
@@NeatoSims ty
Not bad, Feel the cinematic is killed by the lower right "cock"pit view of the camera man. Im here for whats on the screen not whos flying. Is there an edited version, without him there?
Thanks! Sadly there is not an edited version - The 'camera man' is there so that viewers can see the control inputs, not so that the camera man exists in the footage. Luckily, only about 5-10% of the screen is occupied by this and there is no important information behind it that is visible throughout the footage.
FLY Riksen, FLY!😂😂😂
He's sooo good at what he does
GD players can’t take this seriously
The music is horrible..
Who paid you to say this?
@@Jjazzfan Nobody, just listen with your ears if your have any
The music is unbearable
The music is immersive as fuck what’re you on?
The squalking was hard to listen to and repetitive words just as bad.
Gaming crap!
ah ah light navigation in bf109, in cockpit use the zoom ,you are superman?😂😂😂 dcs in ww2 is terrible
