Rise of Flight "The Death of Werner Voss"

[kimtorres613]

I want this video on my T190 phone.

[drewske1984]

Wasn't this the dogfight that was on History Channel's Dogfights? I remember seeing an episode where they talked about the first dogfighters and I think this was the first one they talked about in that episode.

[Ottoman1337]

What is the music that begins with the flight of Albatros spotting the Spads?

[strudel89]

Isnt that a coincidence?the americans only talk about the deaths of german aces who scored over 80 victories,if its about an american who had 6 victories during all the war they only talk about his kills for hours,(maybe they dont talk about their deaths cause most of them died crushed by a truck while they were drunk after the war)

[karim0302]

Oh I'm stupid! Already found it!

[karim0302]

is this a mod for il-2 sturmovik or something?

[FlumenSanctiViti]

Like FPSDoug once said: "I even heard there's no respawn points in RL!"

[postmeester]

Hi sirgis,

Can you help me with this issue please:

When I press the stick, it's like I'm exiting the plane, and the other way: it's like I'm pressed hard in my seat. The whole cockpit is going up and down in front of my eyes when pitching. I want a fixed view, because I buckle myself up tight.. :-) This isn't in real life (I fly Tiger Moth). Is there a way to turn that off in the menu? Thank you for your reply!

[ssd1362]

this movie looks great!!! Thanks to the people who made it! Great music, storyline. commentaries...

[SturmAKS74U]

Great movie...thanks you for your efforts.

[wh1tebl0od]

[jai030]

[jai030]

[Abseil11]

the se5a is way better than the triplane, much stronger engine and much quicker. voss was the best!

[Facu4815]

i love this game! this is what a war simulatoer means not that tom clancys hawx bullshit

[kevineken]

what a great well put together video!

[TheSniped117]

Im going to say something that no one will beleave. but at least i know its true 8). anyway Werner Voss is my great great grandfather. thought id share that with all of you.

[Gdog7712]

@TheSniped117 bull!!!!

[GilbMLRS]

@TheSniped117 I had an uncle hin name was Werner Voss. But he was born a few years later :D

[Caboose123451]

Amazing!



[ortafunk]

the kings of the world know how to entertain Us with all the wars they start. 

[punish907]

Yes they are time consuming but enjoyable. I've made around 9 myself. :)

Thanks.

[sirgisbod]

@punish907 - Sony vegas.. cheers

[punish907]

Sirgisbod which movie maker did you use?

[Harris91]

Oh my god, the end smacked me in the face since I'm 20. Wow.

[rmdrdk]

On a scale of one to s number less then eleven, then i' d have a scientist invent a number between 10 and 11 then but the biggest number of many and multiply it by ten

[toolbaggers]

@rmdrdk that equals 104.96547822617467458688321737­489817837589829174576

[sirgisbod]

Sorry, couldn't tell you.. Plucked from the internet..

[Zardoman1]

@sirgisbod Salute to you on a fine video! Fantastic.

[Cervidae123]

Thanks alot, sirgisbod, for this wonderful film!

Which music did you use?

[MrEpeliX]

ur just awsome

[gerard2603]

Indeed an extremely well made video ! Professional / art. Congrats & keep up the good work. G

[sirgisbod]

@punish907 Thanks for that. I may try and do another one soon - theyre very time consuming and I just haven't had the time lately...

[punish907]

Was you planning on making some more videos sirgisbod? Yours are the best that I've seen. I wished you'd do one of William Barker's famous battle, of course the Snipe is not yet out but the Camel is still the closest to looking like it..

[wurzeluk]

Awesome collection of video's - thank you for taking the time to put them together for our enjoyment.

[SpotterOz]

Man, games have come a LONG way from Air Warrior 1 days!

[behappyynot]

History unfurled before me excellent 10/10

[TheSniped117]

Thank you for posting this.

[TheSniped117]

Wow, i typed in my last name on Youtube and my great grandfather comes up. my name is Skyler Voss son of David Voss son of John Voss'' real first name changed due to world war 2'' son of Werner Voss and lastly son of Werner Voss. Thank god he had sex before he died. wow really sad thing is every one of my family members as far as i can see back has went to war.

[Drackkor]

I read that Voss drank heavily the night before.

[Pricklyhedgehog72]

Incredible flying by Voss. The pilots of this era are amazing, nice vid! Rise of Flight is a fabulous simulator, really challenging.

[93flippy]

today is the 114 birthday of Werner Voss....Rest In Peace hero...

[MrBohica1776]

Voss had BALL OF STEEL to go up against those odds

[Boutiquez]

Voss has always been a hero of mine; great skill, great courage. But that said, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work out how that particular fight was going to end. If Voss had the option to run he should have taken it. However, despite what is said in the video, I very much doubt that Voss had any option other than to fight. He wasn't a fool, he would have known it was only a matter of time before one or other of the SE's got him. He wasn't suicidal, just fighting for his life.

[Speed1Killer1]

its like a movie for free :) and very dramatic ^^

[U124IXB]

I wish people when they post these vids tell us what resolution system specs etc.. they are running this thing at.

[Falcon988]

The thing anyone who watches this video needs to keep in mind is that Voss forced down two SE5s and damaged ALL the others. Do you realize what that means? This could have gone the other way. What if he'd hit someone's fuel tank? Or engine? Or pilot? It's just blind luck that he didn't. 56 Squadron was amazing, but I think they should consider themselves lucky Voss didn't kill them all because he very well could have. Best pilot EVER.

[DrSebby]

OK...someone PLEASE help! I have been waiting for a wonderful WWI sim to come out for eons now - now I hear RoF is beautiful in many ways...but then various critic sites claim the game-play and story is very hollow in comparision to good ol RB3 which had a really nice full-war immersion complete with Aces, full compliment of flyable planes & an accurate progress through the time period & career mode. What IS the BEST in these regards today???  What about Over Flanders Fields? Input I beg!! =)

[Falcon988]

@DrSebby Get Flanders Fields if you want the best. The campaign and scope are unmatched.

[DrSebby]

@Falcon988 ....I've actually tried to get it...install it & all that - in the end it always ends up "missing" some file or another - perhaps due to my using a bootlegged copy of MScfsim(?) seems like it shouldn't matter, but it's been a bit frustrating & time consuming =( ...it's a rather difficult thing finding a copy of MSCFS...& so easy to bootleg it so.....

[Falcon988]

@DrSebby Do you live outside the U.S.? CFS3's available used for 1 cent on Amazon. Anyway, if you have a complete ISO of CFS3 it shouldn't matter. I transferred my CFS3 disc to ISO format and run things fine off that. Have you followed the installation procedures? Updated CFS3 to 3.1a? Downloaded the BH&H Superpatch & Minipatch? There's a 300char limit here on youtube, recommend you come to the Flanders Fields general discussion forum, I'm a reg there and we'll help you.

[DrSebby]

@Falcon988 ...well, the patch for CFS3 3.1a is not readily available at the MS site linked on your website. is there another avenue? let me know, thanks =)

[DrSebby]

@Falcon988 ...sorry to bug ya', found the 3.1 patch and the 3.1a patch...

did a fresh install of CFS3, ran it once, went to install the 3.1 patch, halfway through it said "old file not found...blah blah blah...", and basically stopped.

ever hear of this? ideas? tried to email you through your youtube account but it's locked.

thanks for any input

[DrSebby]

@Falcon988 ...wait, nevermind. sorry...it was the original .exe file it was looking for. arg. need to re-install. thanks, sorry.

[DrSebby]

@DrSebby - THANKYOU soooooo much Falcon! I shall re-try using your simplified description of the process, and if I still run into problems I shall find you on Flander's Fields for sure! =) I dearly miss my days soaring over the front in RB3D...the smell of benzine in the air, wood frames creaking...Ahh how I long for it once again!

[warmonger735]

@DrSebby your safe with this

they are releasing a new campaign or "carrer" mode witch shold be incredible(if you want to know why,go to site and click on "news" it is as of now the second topic)

there is the most incredible flight dynamics and exelent dev support

development will surley continue for another few years

as of now the game gets 7,5/10 from me but if the devs keep their promises it should be woth 9,5/10

bu you need to know your shit to get the most out of it. ;[)

[DrSebby]

Although Voss is my favorite simply due to his flare & courage...after doing a fair amount of research, Earnst Udet stands out in three VERY significant ways - 1. of course being that he actually survived the entire war from beginning to end, 2. that he had what, the 4th highest kill total of the war(?) but most spectacularly, 3. The VAST majority of his kills were enemy fighters...NOT bombers, like ALL of the other leading aces. Interesting, eh? BEAUTIFUL video btw!!!!!!! Thankyou

[tomblackful]

can you do a film?

[axel007seve]

:) this is wonderful ! and fun! and learning!

if only school could be like this :(

[henryt98]

GREAT VIDEO SIRGISBOD, but I have a question, I am doing something like this for an art project soon and I was wondering what kind of recording device you used to get this kind of quality. Much obliged.

[darkace92691]

you sir make some amazing videos



[digglyda]

Do I save up my pennies and buy Rise of Flight or wait until IL-2 Canvas Knights becomes available?

[T15Medic]

I love how kind ww1 pilots were to each other. There was no hate. It was like friends playing tag, only if you were touched, you died and were moroned by both sides.

[Luminahawke]

My tears go to this video. Bravo.

[nessumsardlek]

Technically, historically, and - not least artistically - this movie is a remarkable masterpiece. Please accept my compliments and best thanks!

[Frikozome]

Helt fantastisk rulle!

[ToreDL87]

@Frikozome You guys Norwegian? In that case I`ve never met any Norwegian RoF players as of yet!!

[Frikozome]

@ToreDL87 I'm swedish actually. I guess to say "Completely fantastic movie!" is the same in both languages. If you see the pilot "Edward Silfver" in multiplayer, that's me ;)

[ToreDL87]

@Frikozome Ah, yeah I know theres some Swedish RoF players (Frequenting the SimHQ and RoF forums)

[BAnderson170]

That was actually incredible?

[Ironbudokan]

Excellent movie, both moving and powerful.

[pretorian33]

Truely Amazing youtube video I know the Werner Voss story well I have Rise of Flight the game to, you have done a fantastic job I don't normally comment on a lot of youtube's but had to on this excellent work keep it up ! Voss was one of the greats in a time of hero's.

[lfim14]

whats the name of the game?

[GermanOperaSinger]

This is just fantastic and I can tell you put a lot of work into it. Werner Voss is my favorite WWI pilot - loved this video. Thanks so much.

[MarsImperator2]

what is the music called?

[punish907]

Werner was one of the best, thanks for sharing.

[pharoah246]

You should do the death of Oswald Boelcke

[ekollon72]

nice story,, great video

[lothar804]

Awsome vid!!!! Great work!!!!! Im going to get this game :D

[Chizzaamm]

Really nice video, great work! Thanks for sharing!

[Pat2296]

I just watched the movie "The Red Baron" and was very disappointed that this battle (and others) are not shown! Just awesome to see it here. Wonderful work - much better than the movie!

[MarsImperator2]

you forgot some epic manouvers of Voss

[7511232]

So many B Flight

[heneagedundas]

Excellent work.

[Kingnothing75]

Amazing movie. The soundtrack and the cinematics gave me goospimples. The bravery of those men flying those machines will never be seen again. It truly was the rise of flight.

[Hammer757]

Beautifully! the presentation was excellent and I really appreciate your efforts at historical accuracy.

[ArmedAmerican88]

It is my opinion that voss was ambushed by the RFC, Basically asassinated.

And this led to the decision not to honor the 1 on 1 with Capt Ball much later by the circus.

[Camerameister]

@ArmedAmerican88 Well, they were at war...

[MrTornadoman97]

let me guess........you learned this on the show dogfights?

[IIJG27Rich]

Great Video

[KingCrumbdenfroft]

Good work.

[nynaiqmal]

This is a MASTERPIECE!!!!! Great work and nice camera angles. Another one to my collection.

But may i ask? werner Voss did a 'slip turn' (using the rudder to turn quickly) right?

If so can the Fokker Dr.1 in Rise of Flight do it?

[sirgisbod]

@nynaiqmal

I certainly can't get it to do a flat spin turn.. I doubt that it could be done as reported anyway - just the physics of the the outboard wing having a much greater airflow than the inboard one.. it's inevitable that the slow wing will drop.. Unless it was a flat stall turn but that would lead to a spin and wing drop anyway..

[KingCrumbdenfroft]

@sirgisbod I just did a slip turn (a turn made with rudder, without banking at all) yesterday in a radio-controlled model Su-26. Granted, that's not at all a Great War fighter, and also the aerodynamics of flight don't scale down very precisely, but a slip turn is aerodynamically possible for at least some aircraft.

[nynaiqmal]

@sirgisbod i understand, and i know it is hard to do it, even in a flight sim, well at least you got a masterpiece here, so keep up the good work.

From your fan, nynaiqmal ;D

[NKCrime]

@sirgisbod IT IS possible with DR.I. Its also called split ass

[Mattebubben]

@sirgisbod it is possible if u use the wind

[PlushGallade]

@sirgisbod MAKE MANFRED RICHTROFEN VS THE NOOB ALLIE PILOT WHEN MANFRED TRY TO EVADE IT !!! >.<

[DeanNickChase]

@sirgisbod you actually can just look up Requiem10NS and he will show you

[pharoah246]

@nynaiqmal Look up Requiem training videos. This guy tells you how to do EVERYTHING, including slip turns.

[smeghead666]

@nynaiqmal the slip turn is more like drifting, using the rudder and opposing aerilon to keep it flat and almost flying sideways, A flat spin or snap roll/accelerated stall (which it sounds like youre reffering too) is entirely possible in RoF :)

[Baofajter]

Very nice.Can't compare with that cartoon from Dogfights series.Bring'em more.Good luck with next movie.

[tempsanity]

Great video! Keep it up!

[KrazzyKan]

shame, what would it be like with him alive after ww1.

[equarg]

@KrazzyKan

I am not to sure of that....perhaps (not for certain) but by dying in battle he guaranteed his own immortality as a legend. For all time amongst fighter pilots and the general public.....

I love the 70's song tribute d to him, but the whole pizza box thing and movies don't do him enough credit....

[frogfoot21]

a top notch short film. excelent indeed.

[MaryMagpie]

I been playing RoF for a few weeks, this is just amazing quality work. I got leaky eyes. this is a great tribute,  to Voss and his last flight. MAG

[LeLv30Superbus]

Perhaps the best RoF video I've viewed so far. Thank you.

[jaguar1822]

Two things ... First, Congratulations for this magnificent video! ... and second you don't have to worry about for such comments, don't let them discourages you ...

¡ Excellent work !

[sirgisbod]

@jaguar1822

Thank you! New film coming soon I hope...

[PlushGallade]

@sirgisbod Whoops The Pilot Didnt Actually Kill The Pilot The Damage D.III Just Barely Escaped When Verner Came In For A Bang xD

[J0E90]

An excellent use of Rise of Flight to recount history.

[DefencePrivacy]

good job!!!

like as movie:)

[ZappaTime]

Absolutely captivating, one of the best historical recreations I've ever seen done with a flight sim, a truely wonderfiul effort, thank you!

[longwave2007]

I fly this sim and my stomach tightens whenever I face the Dr1. Great recounting of this memorable encounter. Well done.

=IRFC=Fab

[Mattebubben]

a truly wonderfull film 1 of the best Flight Sim videos i have seen u should talk to Simmachinima about them posting it on there Channel to u can win an award and u will probably get more subbers

[sirgisbod]

@Mattebubben

Thanks for that - I've submitted the video

[TXRog]

Being a lifelong aviation buff and historian, I congratulate you sirgisbod on creating the single best video recounting an actual and well-documented dogfight I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

It is both beautiful and tragic.

A wonderful testament to whom I believe was the single greatest pilot in WW I.

Thanks for sharing.

[Xeidos2]

An excellent bit of video making. If only Hollywood could learn from your example for this is how an aviation event should be re-created.

[gordak]

excellent

[c150ace]

Great video! If only a 180 spin was possible on the game

[ToreDL87]

@c150ace It is, but takes a lot of practice! Same with the quick reversals when he returns fire.

[newsupersammyspider]

@c150ace I made a video about werner Voss and added in the 180 spin

[huevparolbla]

@c150ace

try to fly with the wind and then suddenly turn upwind with a set height.
