1884: Yesterday’s Future

from the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/adamhowe2409:
A film by Peculiar Pictures
Description taken from their website:
A story of outstanding heroism in the face of deception, subterfuge and treachery. Conjuring up the belief that it was made forty years before film was even invented, 1884: Yesterday’s Future tells of a future that might have been but never was. Directed by Tim Ollive, the film is a mix of animation, puppetry and two dimensional and three dimensional computer generated imagery (CGI) set against backgrounds created using stunning artwork, model sets and period photographs from the Hulton Picture Library division of Getty Images. Combine these idiosyncratic production techniques with a script of mind boggling ingenuity and you have a hilarious comedy film the like of which you will not have seen before. So, put your tongue firmly in your cheek, stiffen your upper lip and prepare to be shaken and stirred by 1884: Yesterday’s Future.

Mission to Mars: Voyage - Orbiter Space Flight Simulator

A YouTube Video from rseferino

An alternate history 1986 Flight to Mars....



An Orbiter add-on based on the novel "Voyage" by Stephen Baxter. "Voyage" is an alternative-history narrative in which the US President Richard Nixon makes a fateful decision in 1972 - to abandon the Shuttle program and concentrate all efforts on a manned landing on Mars.

Timeless Goes Flying - a set on Flickr

Timeless Prototype sent me a link to his MSFSX Deluxe Edition photographs on Flickr (Facebook seems to be my link to fellow aviation enthusiasts).

Nicely done, Timeless!

RCAF Physical Training

There are many mad scientists, super villains, and assorted minions in and around Caledon, her allies as well as her enemies.

One must always be ready for action and in top physical condition for any developing crisis. I intend to lead my pilots by setting a good example of such conditioning.



(The animations are from the "Hero" set of 19 at Sine Wave. Each animation is L$100, the full pack of 19 is L$1520. When I returned to the aerodrome I placed all 19 into the free Sine Wave HUD and renamed it "Hero" so I could do a quick search of it in my ever-growing and disorganized inventory.)

Flight log: Arrival of the VICE combat system « Sin Trenton

I found this from Sin Trenton's Journal...

Flight log: Arrival of the VICE combat system « Sin Trenton

"....It’s been talked about a long time in the aviation grapevine, a new system on par with the classical TCS (Terra Combat System, the most widely used for combat equipped airplanes). Callahan’s system (known as CCC) is basically no longer updated and has slowly been abandoned, making TCS practically the sole ruler on the market.

But now,VICE is here, the system for vehicle and infantry combat. Note that this is a system, which means it is not confined to a particular era. It can be added to basically any gun or vehicle, just like TCS’ versions.
Behind the system are legendary names like Creem Pye, Acer Caproni and Mifune Thibaud (who according to aviatiors’ gossip is about to release a new plane soon)...."
