Battle of Britain v2.0 by Barfly
A tribute to the classic British 1969 production, “Battle of Britain”, this movie specifically re-creates some of the memorable scenes, most notably the opening credits in which senior officers review a Luftwaffe unit in France prior to the beginning of the Battle of Britain. The creation of that scene using IL2 simulation mission-building tools is an achievement in itself. The combat action is creatively directed and edited, showcasing some of the most impressive recent IL2 modifications in graphics, sound, and camera tools.

This movie is a trailer for an upcoming series of documentary movies to be produced covering the aerial conflict during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939.

It is especially notable for its creative cinematography, musical score, and use of many recent modifications made to the original IL2 Flight Sim.

Airshow Two by Jafa
IL2 looking and sounding at its modded best, and this movie very creatively makes use of an airshow setting to show off a beautiful range of vintage warbirds.
January 2009
This is the first ever IL2 movie to successfully integrate CGI humans to produce a creative and engaging story. A moving story about Luftwaffe pilots in the closing period of WW2. Even though the Luftwaffe had the awesome Me-262 "Schwalbe" turbojet fighter, they were facing insurmountable odds of Allied bombers and prop fighters. This is the story of two of these pilots.
