Classic British Flight Sim

Hi All,

Not too sure if it is of interest to anyone here, but thought I would post anyhow.

Pixar who did Cars and Cars2 are now over seeing Disney Studios do a spin off called "Planes" here is the trailer... a homage to a certain 1986 movie, its nicely done.

I am rather gutted that the Toy Company I work for does not have the rights to the Toys but I am sure I can expense the product as "Competitor Samples" when it does come out!

I am also impressed that Disney managed to have a White Zombie track as the music score!

Cheers,

Fraser.

No worries, I've been watching the progress of this, not for me of course but for my 9 year old lad...

I think it's great

I love Disney humour and the way they take the Mickey

I'm impressed, just saddened that their take on the F-14/F/A-18 looks a helluva lot like a MiG-29.

I do think they did a good job on the Air Tractor. :P

I don't thnink the average Disney viewer will notice the difference......

Yeah, but historically PIXAR has done a good job of being pretty accurate with their stuff. Look at the Air Tractor and the B-2 for example. Then you get their "Navy Jet" that really doesn't look like anything out there now, but has the intakes of the F-14 at a MiG-29 cant, the trailing link gear and canted tails of the F/A-18, and a wing that looks like an enlarged version of the Gnat's. I just find it a bit odd and disappointing that they do so well on so many of their models and then they have one that just stands out like a sore thumb as just being "off".

Spring 2013! You mean I've got to.......er, I mean my nephews have got to wait almost 18months to see it, damn.

There's always a rivet counter somewhere!

Well into my second childhood anyway, so I'm looking forward to it.

good thing they added that extra half horsepower. ... he might need it.

The half amused me too.love that sort of humour
