A movie to whet your appetite ----
This movie is a little old because I made it before the release of version 1.x.x. However it does show the general features and flow of the program. I have two versions of the movie: A Windows .wmf (Windows Media File) and a Real Player version (.rm) file.
Of course the quality of the movie is abysmal compared to the actual program. I flew the sim in a 300x200 screen that was highly compressed by the video algorithms and reduced to a frame rate of 10fps. I didn't fool around too much with the plethora of settings to tweak the video compression but in general the .wmf file has better image quality and the .rm file has better sound. You might look at both. Remember, the sound is absolutely accurate. All altitude, velocity, fuel, etc calls are dynamically generated from the original audio according to how the sim is flown.

The movie was made from a single flight. It includes the startup screen and the post landing phase. The inflight phase has been shortened to reduce the file size and you will see dissolve transitions (Adobe Premiere 6.0) between three phases: Beginning flight - Over the West Crater - Final approach near East Crater.
I created the movie with a program called Hypercam. It isn't a registered copy so it puts the logo at the top. My flying skills aren't well showcased because I was flying with a postage size window while recording with Hypercam (excuses, excuses....). I was trying to land near the original Apollo 11 landing site and you will see the outline of the original location on the lunar surface. It is the same area I show in the sceen shots.
