Safari Gets Sky High


Marlon Wayne: Hello everybody
Yara Eilde: Hallo Karsten :-)
James Atlloud: I feel some crashin' in my future!
Karsten Runningbear: hi james
Dings Digital: that is the kind of optimism we need
Karsten Runningbear: most people crash only one time :)
Karsten Runningbear: hello everyone welcome to our little airfield... we made some extra things... first please change visibility to 1024m if possible. Its a 6x6 var sim. We made airplanes usable for everyone, 2 fighter planes, which can use a race timer, or fly just for fun, a rescue helicopter, 3 waterplanes, and a Zeppelin, scenic flight with explanations.
James Atlloud: PLANE!!
This was our second stop of the week and what a treat!
There are lots of things to find on this sim, including a crashed UFO and a port, so it's fun to wander across the landscape whether in the air or on the ground.
Forest Azure: can i have your shoes, james? I just realized i am not wearing any
Dings Digital: James has quantum shoes
James Atlloud: Yes!  From the future!
Forest Azure: /me is very envious
Taarna Welles: We can go back... to the future
Forest Azure: ooh
Thirza Ember: yes the zeppelin tour is really informative
Karsten Runningbear: the flying one talks german, but i can get an english one too, the tour needs 10 min.
Thirza Ember: It's a sim by Jason and Finja Flux also, am I right?
Karsten Runningbear: we built it together, Jason made the meshes, Finja the textures, and me the scripts... many people tested
Thirza Ember: great team work!  and Kitty making sure the sim is running well lol
Sixtus, Kitty Sarracine, and James Atlloud
Karsten Runningbear: kitty makes the whole grid running! We made a flight HUD, all planes work with that... I think first we use the zeppelin
Thirza Ember: woot! what could possibly go wrong?
Karsten Runningbear: the german one is landing, pls enter...  the english one will come next
James Atlloud: ok
Dings Digital: get ready for ze german
Thirza Ember: Forest is the driver
Dings.Digital: oops
eva.Nowicka: oh no ...and the parachutes?
Forest.Azure: oh oh
Dings.Digital: haha
Karsten Runningbear: it safe, security systems are perfect :)
eva.Nowicka: the problem is Forest!
Forest Azure: bombe? i'm not touching a thing!
James Atlloud: I just found the ufo - was looking in the water before - ha ha ha
Tina Bey: excelente
Star Ravenhurst: We get off now?
Thirza Ember: oh that's a great idea
Dings Digital: thank you for your attention ;)))
Forest.Azure: yes! Eva! i did a soft landing!
Tuts, Marlon, Karsten, and Tina Bey
Karsten Runningbear: All self-driving vehicles have the same script., we changed chat range to 200m, so people can read us. At this place we had the after air race party
Thirza Ember: omg i think Marlon is attacking
 Karsten Runningbear: the fight planes can drop bombs
Dings Digital: candy bombs?
Star Ravenhurst: I hope there is a bomb shelter
Karsten Runningbear: you can also fly through the balloon, they will burst, the idea for this sim was born after our jetski race... we first make go kart, than jetski and now this
James Atlloud: I do like the course gates.  The poles are flexi and do you change the wind on the regions?
Karsten Runningbear: yes James, only the bottom is solid
Marlon Wayne: i have ground under the feet and i live
James Atlloud: Even with a U.F.O.!!
Karsten Runningbear: the zeppelin is same, no hydrogen inside, the gates are like red bull air race
Thirza Ember: will you do the race competition every year? maybe next time more of us can participate
Karsten Runningbear: i am thinking about it, not many people joined the race, i know its not easy, you need to practise
Thirza Ember: it takes time to build awareness
Karsten Runningbear: but before killing you all in the air, i will show you a little gimmick, a swing.
Tina Bey: wauuuuu  my coffee has spilled
Dings Digital: the music is also great. a mix all over the place.
Marlon Wayne: you must sit and tip the arrow key  forward backward  fast
 Dings Digital: go James
James Atlloud: At least a crash on the swing is - a short fall!
Marlon Wayne: better is starts with the water airplanes
Thirza Ember: so it's official - Karsten is a swinger... now we know
Karsten Runningbear: hehe :))
James.Atlloud: Go marlon! round the world!
Karsten Runningbear: the swings are physical movement like the vehicles
Karsten Runningbear: ok now, lets fly, i will tell you what to do. This HUD works with every plane. I will explain it... you see E; G, C. E = engine. G = landing gear C = camera + and - is the pitch
Karsten Runningbear: you know pitch?
Forest Azure: no
Thirza Ember: pitch means or the front is up, or the back is up, correct?
Karsten Runningbear: should it rise or go down
Dings Digital: always up
Forest Azure: well, maybe not always
Thirza Ember: for me, usually the nose is pointed at the ground and i die
Star Ravenhurst: Me too Thirza. Good thing I have a bunch of lives left.
Karsten Runningbear: if you fly without doing anything, the pitch decides if you are flying for fun, no change needed... throttle you can change using page up or down
The HUD helps control the planes. It can't make you a good pilot though.
eva Nowicka: Is the simulation of the plane's speed and lift realistic? I mean... normally a plane needs to be at about 120 km/h to take off... that's impossible in OS even if you set 20x20 variable regions.

Star Ravenhurst: Dings just got dizzy or drowned
Karsten Runningbear: be careful using 100%
James Atlloud: Wow, look at Lampi go too!
Thirza Ember: lampi hit a house
Lampithaler Artist: I feel very dizzy — I kept spinning the whole time, though it worked surprisingly well now and then.
Marlon Wayne: sit Thirza, we crash together
Dings Digital: that was fun
Dings cut out the middleman and went flying with no plane
Thirza Ember: i got a photo of you Dings, great flight
Forest Azure: with no plane!
James Atlloud: That was good Karsten.  With gear up it is much faster!
Star Ravenhurst: OUCH!!!That didnt work out
Thirza Ember:  I love this place, it's really imaginative - I hope you do the competition again next year,  I have a year to learn how to fly!
James Atlloud: Very immersive and fun!
Dings Digital: great fun
James Atlloud: Lampi, you got the hang of it very quick.  Just after Forest.
Thirza Ember: I will take flying lessons from Forest!
Star Ravenhurst: Forest is the bravest out of all of us
Dings Digital: Captain Forest
James Atlloud: This is really something special - thank you karsten and all!
Star Ravenhurst: It was a fun visit. Thank you for having us. See you next week!
Dings Digital: Das war klasse, macht viel spaß
