Not bad. I hope the Final CG looks better though. Hollywood needs to stop relying so heavily on computers. I mean it's better than the old "green screen" crap, but you can still tell it's fake. It's getting to the point where you might as well watch a video game rather than a movie.

its cool how far CG has come, I don't see too long a time before we really can't tell what's real and what isn't.

me and my dad where wondering why they couldnt just build replicas and have real pilots do the flying.. but then again, i doubt anyone this day in age wants to pull off stunts at like 80 mph in a crate box of a bi-plane..

The french plane was actually rotary powered. In fact it was very difficult to fly because the wankels torque would always want to make the plane spin. I forget the name of the damn thing though. Oh well, too lazy to google.

It was the Nieport 17.

The Nieuport 17 was designed by Auguste Delage of the Nieuport Company in 1914, and was continuously developed during the conflict. The airplane was powered by a 110 hp LeRhone rotary engine.

You weren't kiding about being lazy. That took me less than 2 minutes to put together. :duh: Weak-Sauce! :rant2:

haha thats funny, but i could imagine that too.. he would probably get shot down by one of those many red fokker dr1 triplanes, so then they would make the dr1 be the antagonist of the movie..

unrelated note- i love the sopwith camel
