I think it's a great and fitting video based on fact....I've mentioned I found it emotional BUT can't wait for a full on GR crew video with cap flying sub mach and his hair on fire cos who really needs a canopy.....that is all 🍺
If it helps to make more, can I offer some help with editing the videos?
very well done I love it I wish you could do more but I understand everybody stay safe and have a great day
really cool but you should've moved the retro footage to another corner for a few parts and maybe had a thin border so you can tell what's what in the night shots.
I want to like, but it has 69 likes already :)
As a Falklands Vet (attached to the Rapier batteries) this was an interesting video to watch, many bad memories of my time there but also I met and knew some of the finest soldiers it was my privilege to serve with in my nearly 25 years. Keep up the good work
Thankyou for your service! I can't begin to imagine what you went through.
I sometimes wonder what war Veteran's think of the state of our country now.
It makes my piss boil seeing how some of you were treated after the war. Especially seeing Veteran's like you on the street homeless, suffering from PTSD.
I'm not sure what the statistics are on that. I doubt it was even recorded as it's such a hard thing to detect when people go off the grid, so to speak.
@@British-Dragon-Simulations What's even worse is the prison population of vets! They are SUPPOSED to get access to certain services, but no one is counting how many are vets! As for homelessness - I'll guarantee under every bridge there is at least one vet! And as for the legion - they hire council workers BEFORE veterans, and lets just say those council workers aren't exactly sympathetic!
Thank you for your service, I think that maybe an American thing but the sentiment is true....
@@British-Dragon-Simulations I'm from Argentina and you could apply that to our vets as well, more died after the war to suicide than during the war. Many vets from both sides are now fighting against the long term consequences of the war. Our politicians should follow their example, if the man who fought can reconcile so should our countries.
Thanks for your service greetings from America!
As an Argentinean I've seen many of the real footage thousand of times. When I saw the recreation you've made on DCS I've inmeadiatelly thought "Absolutely amazing". I can only imaging the enormous amount of working hours you put in doing this and make it feel "true to the real life". Congratulacions. You've made a piece of art.
This recreation must've taken SO LONG to do! So much respect. It sounds like Mark Felton but it isn't it?
no it isnt , just a similar accent.
No, it's not our Lord and saviour, Mark Felton
It's the voice of the actual reporter at the time. BBC journalist, Brian Hanrahan
@@bmw540i Its the late Brian Hanrahan, a BBC Journalist and news reporter who was actually down there in 1982. He is the guy who came up with the line, "I'm not allowed to say how many planes joined the raid (Sea Harrier attacks on Stanley and Goose Green Airfields on 1st May 1982), but I counted them all out, and I counted them all back"
@@richardvernon317 Back when journalism meant something.
A brutal conflict fought by professional warriors on both sides. It’s amazing to see it recreated in a sim. Great work GR Team.
Argentinian pilots were incredibly brave.
Weren't the Argentinian troops mainly conscripts, whereas our guys were elite (paras & marines)
@@pappajohndodgybob Yes, most of the Argentinean troops were conscripts although there were quite a few professional units as well. I can't imagine the horror of some of the battles towards the end of the war fought at such close range the British had to fix bayonets. Image the horror of skewering some poor 17 year old conscript - that will live with you forever.
Realmente te pasaste!, muy buen video hasta el detalle de las cámaras en ese momento y lugar, una recreación muy bien hecha. espero seguir viendo esta clase de videos un saludo desde Argentina.
You really overdid it! Very good video down to the detail of the cameras at that time and place, a recreation very well done. I hope to continue watching this kind of videos, greetings from Argentina.
Holy crap! This is a wonderful recreation! Kudos, heartfelt, to all who took part! 😍😍😍
8:30 could you imagine being 17 yrs old and shooting down a Jet fighter!?🤯 Brilliant work on this historic reenactment, very well put together👍👍
At that age, I was still at school - for another 2 years...
It'd be illegal for them to be part of that today. They'd be considered child soldiers under international law. The Rojavans got in a lot of trouble for letting 16 and 17yr olds join them in their fight against ISIL.
This. Is. Amazing.
The narrative and historical footage side-by-side with the superbly recreated DCS footage brings it to life in an extraordinary way. The DCS cockpit footage is as tense as is possible! What a beautifully constructed video in honour of both sides; well done sir!
This must have taken an incredible amount of work. I knew nothing about the Falklands (in terms of details) and I assume this had significance to you to get such detailed effort. Thank you.
thx
I've been reading books on the subject of the Falklands war for the last 2 months what with the anniversary and all - Harrier 809 and Sea Harrier over the Falklands being among 2 of the best IMO. GREAT VIDEO Cap, what effort you put into this, well done that was. Very well done in fact. The Argie pilots indeed were skillful and courageous, and of course the British pilots as well, considering what they had to work with in terms of numbers, an incredible showing of the capability of the little SHAR and RAF Harrier too. The SHAR especially though, what an extremely flexible and capable fighter it turned out to be, operating in sea conditions no other naval carrier could have including the USN CVNs back then. Anyhow, well done again Cap, you really outdid yourself with this one, and it'll be living on in my bookmarks.
Just an incredible job putting that together, well done boy's. RIP to your brothers 🇬🇧
Probably the best video you guys made and i saw, really good job, thank you.
This is utterly mental! Huge thanks for the amount of effort youve put into this!
Absolutely brilliant recreation, Top marks guys. shows a lot of time/ effort went into this
Knowing that this map was on it's way I've been watching these documentaries a lot over the past year too, this one in particular and I must say guys, what a tribute you've made here. This re-enactment is out of this world, congratulations.
Really well done guys , you’ve replicated the historically tapes with great precision 👍
thx
Apart from the fact, the squadron is wrong, and the harrier type is wrong, and the helmet colours are wrong!
@@pappajohndodgybob what is wrong with people like you , he has to work with what DCS offers and did an amazing job.....
The time and effort that has gone into the making of this is remarkable. Excellent work guys and very much appreciated. Thank you 😊
I've only been watching your stuff for a couple of months but this is the best thing I've seen by far. Roll on Part 2
Great work! I know two guys who were there, one in the Marines as a Sergeant and another, a Chef in the RN. Hard to believe its 40 years ago!
hey Cap, thank you for illustrating this "war" in the Falklands ... it makes it sssoooo much more easy to understand and learn from !!! really well done !!
I gotta ask, why the quotes around the word war?
@@cmotdibbler4454 cause it was more like a skirmish .... wasnt REALLY a war .
Outstanding video - so well made and produced. I appreciate that it's not sustainable but just wanted to say that it is an excellent piece of work. Thank you.
The detail on the Harriers is amazing.
Wow! So well done, my brother in law was a navigator on the first black buck raid in a victor tanker, I remember watching these news broadcasts at the time wondering if we would see him again, this brings it all back.
Wow, what a cool retrospective view of the Falklands War. Nicely done you guys.
Well done. So many memories of watching the news as a kid. The understaement about the rapiers needing time to "stabalise"
Didn't help that the rapiers were initially placed poorly, the London planners didn't anticipate the tactics of the Argentine pilots.
@@andreartymiuk in the book "Amphibious assault Falklands" written by the officers who planned and commanded the assault they explain that the rapier placement was done using a computer program. This used the topography of the area to workout the best sites for Rapier coverage. The problem was the program assumed the Attacker would be targeting land targets and not the shipping, so the placement wasn't sufficient. Also in the haste to load the ships in the uk, some vital calibration equipment for Rapier was left behind on the dockside!! Woodward wanted his most of his frigates to return to the main task force at the end of the first day, but Rapier was not ready to defend the anchorage. Finally the ships radars intefered with the Rapier search radar, this had 2 effects, Rapier had a simple indicator system using lights that pointed in the direction of a incoming aircraft so the optical sight could be slewed. 2nd it provided an "in range" cue to allow firing at maximum range. Nether of these worked because of the interference.
@@andreartymiuk very true. I remember watvhing an interview with one of the colonels talking about watching the argies fly over a rapier and being flabergasted when it did nothing
This was absolutely awesome, more like this please. I don't know if is was during this incident, but the RN was extremely upset with the BBC because they said aloud right on the evening news that the Argie bombs were not exploding because they had the fuses set too long and were dropping the eggs too low, preventing them from arming.
Reporter: Brian Hanrahan 1949-2010
"I counted them all out, and I counted them all back." Being his famous line because for fleet security he wasn't allowed to state the number of aircraft available. I was 14 back then. It certainly feels like a lifetime ago.
this was amazingly well executed. and although i dont have personal ties to this, whether it be family or country (American here), my respect goes to all those involved. i've fought shipboard fires before, albeit they were on a submarine and much smaller than depicted here, regardless its something you never forget. thank you for teaching me a bit more about this historical event that most seemingly gloss over.
Absolutely superb, the effort that this must have taken is commendable, well done
Absolutely world class editing and production!
That is next level accuracy. Smashing job. Well done everyone!
Brought back so many memories as a teenager watching on TV etc, made me feel really proud to be British 🇬🇧 !
Thank you, gentlefolk.
I love your general random see what happens stuff, but that was a fantastic recreation.
One of your best things yet
Nice to see my lot , 14 battery Royal Artillery getting a mention . Rapier certainly showed its worth .
let us not forget the 255 brave British soldiers, sailors and airmen that paid the ultimate price to take back what was ours. Rest in peace. Stand down your duty is done.
And 649 Argentines, mostly conscripts.
Thank God for the Royal Marines, as Maggie said from 10 Downing Street.
What a ridiculous pro-Anglo imperialistic comment! blinded by patriotism! "Your Island"? Lol, so you have official ownership of land on that island under your name? Do you benefit in some way from the British equity, land or resources there? The war was totally unnecessary and both countries were wrong. I say the Brits were far more foolish for deploying their entire naval fleet 8000 miles almost half way around the globe to protect that island. It's your Eaton, Oxford and Cambridge-educated political elites which benefit from that island, not the common commoner.
@@System-Updatemore than 300 perished in the sinking of the ARA Gral Belgrano. So, no conscripts there.
Well done cap and the whole TEAM.
Cap - you just keep getting better at cinematics.
That was worthy of a final project in a degree.
Fantastic work GRs on the reproduction. In addition, the detail put into this new map is stunning - enjoyed yesterday's overview.
Best and most clear computer sims I have seen......you can get the idea of what was happening.....
This is seriously good content worthy of meaningful praise. well done
That was really nicely done. Very good work on getting everything to line up in such a tight fashion.
Wow this is very impressive. Congrats on the outstanding video guys!
That was well done, Cap, and no one who watched it in '82, or since then, can be anything but moved by the bravery of the Argentine pilots. Great men thrown away on the whim of a tyrant. Great use of the new South Atlantic map, and I look forward to some "what if" scenarios coming soon...?
There is something very deep and profound about this video. A labour of love, no doubt. The number of hours per minute of video must have been at least 10x the usual. I sometimes wonder what these people would have thought about the state of the world today, but then I suddenly realize that the vast majority of them are still alive.
Very accurate and historic. Great job on this documentary account on a battle with much respect to both sides!!
He's got the squadron wrong! My old squadron - 801 was on Invincible! 800 was on Hermes. Oh and the Harrier variant is wrong. It's an RAF variant, because it hasn't got a radar! I know, because my job was fixing the Blue Fox radar on FRS1 harriers! The RAF used to have terrain following thus no radar signal to pick up jam - which cannot work at sea without external guidance ( AWACS / GPS etc).
This was absolutely brilliant. You guys did an incredible job recreating everything. Love this format. Would enjoy seeing more of it. Great stuff.
That was absolutely fantastic GR
Very nice vid! I love how you're always so respectful of both sides in these reenactments. Not a common sight in UA-cam unfortunately.
Omg GRIM!!!!!!! Holy moly man, this was awesome to watch. The amount of detail you did, like how the shots actually line up with the real video made this really really cool. I’m a bit adhd so it was cool having the two video feeds playing at the same time for my eyes to shift between. Held my full attention, which is rare for videos to do.
Would love a “feature length” documentary episode! Maybe do the Syrian conflict? Or the Soviet Afghan conflict?
Growling sidewinders ain't got nothing on this, keep it up Cap and Crew, awesome work.😎👍
i can only imagine how complex creating such a video must be.... amazing work .
Simply brilliant. The attention to detail between archive footage and recreated footage is superb. This is a tribute to both sides of this war and a true milestone in respectful creativity and remembrance by GR.
What a great illustrated history lesson. Great production. Thanks.
This is EXTREMELY well done guys. Bravos to all.
WOW!!!! What an fantastic job here Cap!
That was awesome! Thanks guys!
i can only echo the previous comments, i really enjoyed this visual over view, i,m looking forward to part two, and catching up with your previous works you have done, many thanks.
This was so intense I'm having trouble sweating.
Fantastic Footage. Many thanks for sharing this!!!!
I am so excited to see all the new GR videos using this Falklands map! All those tiny rivers and tall rocky mountains look like they should provide so many new oportunities for scenarios we have not seen yet, in addition to realistic historical recreations and "what-ifs". The DCS Falklands map looks like the best one yet imo.
This was different and just really good! Thanks for the work!
More of these please. Vietnam theatre would be great
Totally amazing work guys. Very well done all involved.
Very well put together chaps!
Damn! Those Argentinean pilots were crazy!
The quality on this is AMAZING
Fantastic effort Cap, well done. The Falklands War was the first conflict I was aware of with me being 15 at the time. Seeing all that grainy film converted into HD in DCS really adds an extra dimension to it. I love the matching camera angles and handheld feel you've worked into it :)
Amazing content CAP. Such a change in style. That almost seamless matching of actual footage with in game footage was excellent. I think most of do not appreciate the effort required to make a few minutes of film but you must have spent hours researching, assembling and polishing this footage before it was released. Really excellent tribute to the servicemen and women of all sides, the game makers and of course you. Well done.
Great job cap, hope to see more of these historical videos side by side sim and actual footage
Very good work to razbam, GR and ED. Loved it
Yes Yes Yes. I would love more reenactments like this. Reminds me of staying up to 2am watching war documentaries on History channel.
Very well done Cap!
This was great. Like the documentaries, WWII in Color. Great content and re-enactment.
Quite simply the best video you've ever created imho, well done very factual and without bias.
Thank you!
Wow, a lot of work to make this. Well done! Very cool to see the historical footage next to the recreation.
Outstanding work.
Wow what a great recreation! Amazing work!
Brilliant Cap, very well done! I was in Angola in combat at the time, so missed the whole palaver in the press and on TV news.
That was haunting. Took me back 40 years as if last week. Thanks guys.
Outstanding Cap! Well done, why I love GR!
Cap this is a brilliant piece of work. This takes me back to the news coverage in the US. It was abysmal as one might expect. They covered it like a horse race, with running tallies of the dead on both sides. I think US news networks hated the idea of honor, victory and defeat, they just wanted carnage and ratings.
Very well done with the assets you have. That was definitely the kind of views we had on the day, my ship, Antrim, is in the middle of the 3 at 6:03. I watched my best friend's ship burn, Ardent. He was one of the lucky ones to return home. Also, much respect for the pilots who knew they were flying into hell in San Carlos, I speak with one occasionally online.
Amazing job Reaper! It talks really well from you when you mentioned both names of the island, with the same respect. I really hope this map could join a bit more younger generations of british and argentines. This community is very passionate about this conflict and there are many guys with lots of knowledge that will bring to the table awesome campaigns and missions. Lets see what the future prepares for this map
Well done team, an interesting conflict.
Love the old gear !!!
I remember watching it on tv when it was first broadcast
WOW ! The detail & palette of the ‘new’ map is fantastic. Those Harriers……..Sharkey Ward’s second coming ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can only imagine the amount of work put into this video, congratulations!
Awesome Cap!
GR!!!!! That was amazing! Job well done!!!!!!!!!
This map opens up some really great 'What If' battles.
I hadn’t seen most of this footage. Thanks mate really enjoyed this great job as always 🤙🇦🇺
Well done my dad when I remember seeing him on TV and when he came back I was 8
I love the idea of using DCS like this, whether it's a documentary style or just editing down the flights to the "good parts", this was well done, informative, and entertaining. Well worth the time to watch. Good job!
Reminds me of what they’ve done on the history channel.
Excellent! Knowing that you are British I consider that it was very impartial. I congratulate you, greetings from Mar del Plata, Argentina.
They were, are and will be Argentines
By "they", are you referring to the islands?
@@gallotwelve Si! Las Malvinas fueron son y serán Argentinas!
@@agustinechegaray4866 What are you gonna do about the people who live there?
Fantastic work 👏
Well done GR, this was great.
That has to be the best content you've ever made :)
3:06 - Amazing shot recreation, that's *staggering*.
Awesome video. Takes me straight back to being a schoolboy in a naval town (Portsmouth). Even today if someone says "In the course of her duties in the South Atlantic..." the hairs still stand up on the back of my neck.
OK, "its duties" - how memory plays tricks. ua-cam.com/video/AOv4s30R40U/v-deo.html
