Faith, Hope & Charity

Dowly · 07-22-07, 09:31 AM

A co-production of some of the best machinima movie makers about the three RN Gloster Gladiators, Faith, Hope & Charity, who defended the island of Malta against the Italian airforce during the WWII.

Downloaded. I just finished watching the first 'chapter' (to 'and so ended the first sortie'), and I'm very impressed so far.

Edit: Finished the whole thing. I have to say it's one impressive and moving film, which succeeded in conveying emotions. The scenes actually got to me even though you practically never really saw the characters, only their vehicles. I recommend this film to all of you, even though it's a ,6 GB download.

As a side note, did this kind of thing - outdated planes taking on superior enemies - happen often in the war? I know that in 1940, the Norwegians launched four biplanes against a far larger flight of German paratrooper planes, and I can imagine that such engagements were fairly common elsewhere, too. That's quite some courage.

Consider it done, sir.

Heh... I've loaded up Falcon 4.0 Allied Force twice now and fired up a Tactical Eengamgenet where my flight of four MLUs engaged a North Korean package of fifteen Badgers. I then load the movie in the background and time it so that the first sortie of the movie coincides with my engagement with my encountering the Badgers. First time was awesome, as I went into a strafing run just as the pilot of the movie did

- I get to fly through a formation of Badgers just as the music went into overdrive (at 11:34 in the movie). Second time I had adjusted the engagement a little to let me meet the Badgers earlier. However, I over-compensated, so that my F-16 fighters came upon the Badgers while they were still on the runway! After strafing them until all my MG ammo was out and deciding to head for home, I heard the pilot in the movie say something like 'let's head home, there's nothing more to destroy here':rotfl:.

Only problem is that I more than once have thought that a radio message in the movie was for me, such as '20+ bandits incoming' - great, I thought, here come the Badgers

As a side note, Dowly you make me miss my ferret, Bandit. She was the best damn pet I have ever had!!!

Ilpalazzo · 10-12-07, 01:17 AM

Wow that was a good video. I was about to give up in the first 20 minutes or so, but it really picked up.

Doolittle81 · 10-28-07, 01:08 PM

Happy to see that you enjoyed "FH&C". I was one of the Wingmen Production crew who made the movie...."Wiley Coyote", by name...Story and screenplay writer (and Co-Producer) at your service. I just recently got involved in SubSimming and found this aviator forum. See my other post in this Forum's Flight Sim Video thread for directions to a site for viewing more of the best flight sim movies.
