Ever thought about contacting Austin Meyer?

[SDirickson]

He's the sole inventor, and until recently sole programmer of the X-Plane series of simulators, arguably the most realistic sim out there. Maybe you could talk to him, see if he can give you a hand on any of the physics and aeronautics modelling stuff you have questions on.

 

He'll probably empathize a bit, since he once had to start from scratch as well. He's also pretty open and helpful, at least to his X-Plane fans who constantly email him about new feature requests or bug reports (like me).

perhaps we will explore that idea.

 

understand that a version of falcon is using the x-plane system and reports of it are very good.

 

main problem is me, I like to basically do everything program wise.

That's my "problem" too... the need to control the whole thing to keep independant thus able to improve every routine. Edited January 2, 2005 by Drakkhen
