andy1252 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Great stuff, Jack. Look forward to more episodes! Some of those characters would be great improvements on the default P3D avatar as well - fancy a challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those characters would be great improvements on the default P3D avatar as well - fancy a challenge? Thanks Andy and Taph. I don't even know how to use the avatar in P3D yet, I'm still researching the use of him/her. I don't even know what the avatar is all about yet. They'll be more episodes, occasionally, they take a lot of thought and if it's ok with Orbx. I'd like to do one where Fred is at a highly detailed are like inside the Meigs terminal and walks to the ramp and flys and gets into some kind of in flight emergency. Hilarity ensues and it's all thanks to the highly detailed Orbx stuff. I have to think ahead about what the story line would be and then go into the sim and take some shots but I already have about a thousand (yes 1K) shots filling up my drive full of Orbx areas so I can pull from those as well. I could even due a walk-around of the airport showing off various Orbx details. Gosh, the ideas are starting to fill into my head. Some guys do excellent shots with narratives, I just wanted to inject some humor of my own making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, it's quite easy once you know the key combination: Ctrl+Shift+E activates him and the same deactivates him, but you must be near your aircraft. More key combinations can be found in your P3D control settings. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have left to install now last is Vector, then go to FTX Central and set the airports to Vector for some things and then install Tongass.

Does LM actually train future Jacques Cousteau's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Flight sim is just what most people make of it. However, it can be used as a general environment for any training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make another good situation for Fred, walking up to a sub and then using slew to "fly" it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Ha, yes! That's good stuff for a new comic! I never used them so far. Doesn't really interest me. I know that Boeing prouces Subs and that LM works with them. All default content in P3D that wasn't in FSX gas some relation to the company...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks Bermuda, it's a lot of work but fun, you have to think ahead of time what yo want to do. I usually make a rough sketch on paper first then create it. I wanted to show off the Orbx terminal and have something funny and family safe at the same time. Part 2 will be coming soon.

I have lots of ideas but it's hard to write comics that are family safe. They're a lot of fun. Some guys do repaints, some guys make aircraft, I write a humorous column and make these comics which is all aviation related, and all for free to boot.

But in real life I'm family safe so I'm going to do my best to make sure they don't offend anyone. I like to be family safe in my personal life but I can see sometimes where there could be some situations calling for cursing or other silly stuff. But the comic fonts have "comic cursing" things like "You %#*@" and such. The difficult part about creating comics is too much idea and not enough room.
