If anyones interested, I'll set you up.

Yah! another zombie is back!

Did you get that e-mail?

and this needs to be in the fan art fourm.

[Reply #2 on:]

Which email? I get tons of them every day.   

And if the mods wish to move this topic over to the Fan Art section, that would be good.  I made a 20 second movie of the Planet Express blasting away from the ISS, and I'd like to share it, but I don't want to open another topic and I want to make sure it's in the right area.

I sent you two of the same e-mail. It has the title "From Homerjay:Want to know something?". I don't think you want to read what it was now because it was a joke E-mail.

Your pics are really pretty.

You did give people just three hours to respond though! Very nice pictures, shame it isn't a real game! I haven't played Flight Simulator in ages because it always used to blow up my computer when it ran.

But it is real. I used Orbiter Space Flight Simulator ( http://www.orbitersim.com  ) and the Futurama addon Orbiter ( available on http://www.orbithangar.com  ) for these pictures.

Nice thing about it is that it's all free.

I just finshed doing a remake on that video I posted. I found that Futurama remix music and syncronized it to the video action. Man, did it come out good!

I'll post the results here in a few minutes. It'll make you re-think fan art. It came out that good!
