My Lion King Forum

This is a little project of mine that took off (pun intended) on its own, and now I feel like it's ready enough to share with everyone here on MLK! Therefore, I would like to make the announcement:



What I am hoping is that some of you will be interested enough to give this plane a go and volunteer to fly this magnificent plane. We'll be able to take screenshots and record videos of our dancing in the skies and share with the great TLK community and beyond.

Requirements:

X-Plane 10. You can grab the demo, which is free. Because it runs on all popular systems, if you have a computer that came out even two years ago, you will be able to run it. We simply won't use your computer as the photographic ship if you will have to run the sim at the minimum settings. If you can run Minecraft, you can run this (just not as well as others).

Mouse and keyboard. A joystick is required if we will attempt anything more than level-flybyes, but even if you don't want, or can't, to lay down money for good controls, I don't want to kick you out.

Microphone. We'll need to be able to talk to each other in real-time. As most of you either have built in cameras or some cheap USB camera, I don't see this as an issue. We'll also need to be able to arange times when we can fly together.

Free time: At least enough to learn how to fly straight and level at a constant speed. Currently, this is much harder than it sounds, but I think I know of a few ways to make it easier.

I know this looks like a lot of requirements, but the point is this: If you are willing to give it a go, I won't kick you out. I did this to have fun and take great pictures, perhaps also make great movies. I don't see why you guys shouldn't be able to enjoy it as well.

Here are a few quick pictures I took to share with you guys:




I hope that we can actually get something great done here, and this won't simply be a one-stop single-post topic. If you are interested, or simply have questions or comments, send me a PM or reply to this topic. I also hope that one of the mods will sticky this, because I would rather not have to see this go to the bottom of the page through dis-interest.

Let's make the Pride Lands proud and fly well!

Well, I don't have a keyboard, but I'll give it a try!

I see what you did there.

I'll be glad to hand you over a copy when you'll get the sim up and running.

i will try it sometime

Im in! Give me a day or so to get set up on X-Plane, and we can arrange a flight time!

Should have told me that you got it up and running. I was waiting for a PM from you asking for the plane for a long time. I'll send it to you this weekend.

You know, I did tell you that I had it up and running ages ago.

Oh well...

Just in case you guys are wondering, I'm working on fixing up the texture on the plane right now. This is why you don't have it yet.
