Hello,
i also instantly thought of the german MvR film with Schweighoefer as RB. They tried to sell their planes, and had a lot of Albatros planes painted in original colours - only they did not use it too correctly in the film. They were made basically of fibre glass or so i think. But to get those to England ...
There is a german guy who builds real flying replicas, but i guess this will be too expensive - or maybe he would lend one of them for being mentioned somewhere - don't know.
And I did not mean a 2-d flight sim in front of a 19" monitor has anything to do with reality ! But apart from the upcoming (or not?) "Rise of Flight" this "OFF" sim i mentioned along with TIR is currently the best you will get in the sim genre - speaking of historically correct colours, aerodromes, squadrons and front changes.
Best film about flying scenes will probably be Mr. Hughes first film from the 1920ies, "Hell's angels". All filmed with real "historical" planes, and with cameras from real planes, using aircrafts that were left from the great war back then. Some of the collisions were real and the pilots died, and Hughes seems to have had no problem to show it in his film.
Greetings,
Catfish
