Dear Flight Simmer,

In just one week, thousands of users have had a chance to use Aircraft Animator to easily add moving parts to their AF99 and Flight Shop aircraft. Their conclusion. It's AMAZING.

What's more is that you don't have to be an aircraft designer to create some very sophisticated animations using this unique, powerful, yet simple-to-use tool?

New Version During this past week, the remarkable Konstantin Kukushkin has been stuffing even more features into this truly unique utility Preview Animation The most important one is the ability to preview the animation without having to leave the program. Here's how it works: click on a part to be animated; specify the type and direction of motion; press the F12-key; instantly view the parts in action. If it needs adjustment, make the change and run the preview again and repeat until the motion is just the way you want it. All of this without having to run Flight Simulator 98 or Combat Flight Simulator. This is true visual feedback right before your eyes!

Even non-designers can add moving parts to planes (and helicopters).

The Animation Brigade
Dozens of AA users have already sent us letters congratulating Konstantin. They can now adding moving parts to their planes - something that was outside of their reach until last week. Right now, hundreds (maybe thousands) of users are busy turning their inventory of "tired" aircraft into lively, animated models with Aircraft Animator.

Elegant Software Engineering
Aircraft Animator's straight-forward user interface hides some very "smart" programming code. Konstantin has written a program that searches the aircraft's visual model and presents the various control surfaces for you to select. Point and click to tell it which parts you'd like to animate and AA adds the necessary information that Flight Simulator 98 or Combat Flight Simulator needs to make the part move as you fly. The icing on the cake is AA's Preview feature. Just press the F12-key and Konstantin magically transforms the parts into motion.

Simple, Yet Sophisticated Enough for the Pros
Yes it's simple to use. But simplicity is only part of the story. Some of the world's top professional developers are using Aircraft Animator. In fact, we've already sold commercial licenses to many companies that are adding AA's "smart" moving parts to their aircraft. These companies are impressed with AA's precise control of the animation process and the new interactive animated preview. So while Aircraft Animator is easy enough for anyone to use - even those without AF99 or Flight Shop - it's also a powerful tool with the exact mix of practial features to get the job done. How did these features find their way into Aircraft Animator? The answer is simple: Konstantin. He's been listening to and helping users for years.

Try it Now!
Users can download Aircraft Animator V1.01 now and use its Trial Mode to add moving parts to an unlimited number of aircraft. Trial mode limits flights to a 10 mile radius of Miegs Field (Flight Simulator 98) or Interlaken (Combat Flight Simulator). If you like the results, you can purchase a Registration Key to unlock Trial Mode for only $29 which removes the 10 mile limitation automatically.

If you're already using Version 1.00, you can upgrade for free. We release it one week and we've already added significant new features the next. How's that for innovation?

Aircraft Animator is just the latest in our extensive line of quality flight sim products.

Thanks and happy flying,
