LGR Blerbs | Awesome Screensaver Found on a 90s Lockheed Martin PC @LGRBlerbs | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
This excellent 3D aircraft aerobatics screen saver (flyby2.scr) was found on a crusty old Windows 95 computer originally belonging to Lockheed Martin. And I don't know much more than that! Does it have anything to do with Blue Impulse as the icon suggests? UPDATE: It is related to the YSFlight simulator from the late 90s! Here's a comment from its creator, Soji Yamakawa. "Wow! That's a pleasant surprise! My friend sent me a link to this video. Yes, I wrote it. That was one of my first screensavers. I believe this one was based on 3D Graphics Library called Blue Impulse (obviously named after the Japanese Aerobatic Team) that I developed for my master's research project. I should still have source code somewhere in my backup. And, some of the airplane models in this screensaver are in YSFLIGHT, too."
