Ste M Thanks for the comment. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm the first to admit that it's a very docile plane - unlike some of it's brethren. Cheers
Hi, yes I agree but it was already a bit long. If you have a look at a couple other videos of this plane (I think Dukely does one) they do have a tour of sorts. Cheers
Hi Connor - I've posted here because for some reason TH-cam is not linking a reply area for you. An interesting point of view me thinks. A chicken and the egg scenario in fact. While I don't disagree with you, I do believe that war is unfortunately a catalyst for new and better machinary. The question then becomes, would passenger planes have developed along the lines they did if not for the advent of the war? Cheers.
justfox2 Very nice to hear that you are familiar with the Russian March, but in this case, you unfortunately wrong! This Russian March, written in 1912 by trumpeter headquarters of the 7th Cavalry Regiment Substitute, standing in Tambov, Vasily Ivanovich Agapkin inspired by the events of the First Balkan War (1912-1913). So he came even before the First World War!))
Matvey Aliferenko P.S.in fairness it should be noted that in the text of this version is really sung about the Second World War, but the march many options of text written over the years, including the very popular comic versions!)
Grazie per Proshanjie Slavianka, anche se è la versione " moderna", della seconda guerra mondiale.. lo Ilya fu un aereo incredibile, ai suoi tempi...
Most beautiful bird in Rise of Flight. I am in love with it.

One of the greatest airplanes ever built,
Many thanks - I appreciate it
Would have been nice to have a cockpit, gunner and bombardier station tour in this video. :-(

Allegra Will check Dukley out. Have the game, but not that plane.

How do you load bombs on it? The game doesn’t seem to let me.
Le magnifique Ilya Mouromets le plus élégant des avions Russes! Ce qui est dommage j' aurai bien voulu en voir voler un vrai ou une réplique!?
How come its only got one MG? I saw examples on google where these things had guns all over the place. I guess that willbe DLC :)
skintrade Yes - it's a bone of contention, I certainly believe that there should be at least one more, but ultimately it is what it is. Cheers
I bet they will add more guns as DLC.. nice vid tho :)
skintrade Thanks for the comment - I appreciate it, though unless some Mods get to it, I wont hold my breath. Cheers
Song a little wrong. Its communist version of this song about WWII.
justfox2 I agree that it was performed in WW2, but the march was written and premiered in Tambov in the end of 1912. Cheers
Justcallme Al Yes, but exist song on this music about Russian Empire.
justfox2 Ahh - thanks for clarifying that. Could you suggest a more appropriate song for another Russian machine that I'm looking to feature? Cheers
