A good screensaver

[Captain_Scooby]

My current screensaver is well boring, and I want to get something a bit more aviation-oriented.

My brother is a mechanic and has an awesome dynamic screensaver of a car engine being built bit by bit, showing how all the parts work and fit together.

Anything similar for aircraft?

You could always fetch a screensaver from the RAF. (http://www.raf.mod.uk/downloads/screensavers.html) I havent downloaded any of them, but they do look promising.

I downloaded a nice screensaver from the dassult website.

It is a 3d image of the new 7x that rotates and gear goes up and down etc. it also shows the interoir of the aircraft.

try dassult.com downloads.

Does anyone remember the one called 'chutes?'

A very good image of a DC3 climbs for a while, then airmen start to jump. the natty thing was the way they seemed to jerk as the chute opened.

just when you are getting used to it, something poignant happens.

DC3 one sound interesting - if anyone knows where i could download it, that would be useful.

For those that wanted the dynamic engine screensaver (from another forum):

The file being hosted in Germany. It is 42.5 MB. Here is the link:

http://rapidshare.de/files/4430200/motor.rar.html

You'll be presented with a table that says premium or free download. Click the free button near the bottom right of the page/table. Then it makes you wait about 30 seconds before presenting you with a final confirmation code (another attempt to get you to pay for their premium d/l service), which you enter. Stay strong, wait for it, the file you get is motor.rar and it's the real deal.

Extract the .rar files to your C:\Windows directory (or whichever your screensaver files are in). Then you can use control panel to find the new screen saver in your list of screen savers available. The screen saver will be called "Deutz Engine".


Ive managed to extract it but cant seem to get the display control panel to offer it as a screensaver - i may just need to restart. I can still view the animation by clicking on the extracted .scr file.
