For 3 years now we have been selecting the best flight sim movies in one collection as a showcase of the great films that can be created from game engines. Many of these films were hosted on different sites for downloading which have since become unavailable, and also there were very few high quality streaming sites available back then.

So, after 250,000 hits on the website, we decided to give the site a brand new and modern style and also to create a channel on Youtube for easy viewing of all the videos in HD where available.

www.flightsimmachinima.com
or http://flightsimmachinima.montydan.com/

Please take some time to look through the fantastic, moving and entertaining films that have been made from IL2 and other simulators since the very first days when amateur moviemakers realized just what they could achieve all on their own and inexpensively with a game engine, a computer and some good ideas.

This process is now widely recognized as the art of machinima, and we sincerely hope that many of you will begin or continue making great flight sim movies.

Thanks to all on the team for keeping the flag flying - Russell (Joe90) Boyd, Chris (Bbloke) Hunton, Steve (Monty-Dan) Worsley, Bruce (Wiley/Doolittle81) Wallace, Sjon (GL2) Stevens, Michael (310thFalcon) Lockhart and Tinus (biltongbru) le Roux.

The link in your post wasn't working for me.

This is the link I had in my bookmark.
http://flightsimmachinima.montydan.com/

The films that were hosted on other sites and "lost," were you able to recover them ?

Link should be ok - the one in the post is the domain we bought, but it redirected to Monydan's server to be hosted from. Both should work.

No movies were lost smile I had kept local copies on my Hard Dive just in case. Not always the highest quality so if anyone has copies of these movies in high resolution, I'd like to hear from you.

Ta Doolittle, I'll get a list of all the ones I only have low quality copies of and see if you have better copies.
