  1. Yup, especially in formation. :P
  2. Depending on how high salaries are where you live, you should be able to earn what you need if you work 1-2 months during summer holidays. IDK how old you are, but it's in general a good idea to get at least a little experience working on a job besides school.
  3. I didn't say that you can't do it, just that it is not a good idea for safely operating the airplane.
  4. Indicated airspeed is the most important airspeed for flying the plane because it correlates with dynamic pressure. This means that for a given weight, the plane will always stall at roughly the same IAS, regardless of altitude (not talking about accelerated stalls). It wouldn't be such a good idea to set the HUD to display anything else.
  5. Too late i guess, google caches everything...
  6. Never heard of that. My assumption is that since there is no fragmentation damage, the frag bombs need a lot more damage for a realistic area of effect. This leads to unrealistic performance with regards to hardened targets.
  7. SADL builds on EPLRS. You can not directly communicate with Link16 equipped aircraft.
  8. SADL, the A-10C doesn't use Link16.
  9. You just made me cringe. :) Interpolation is finding a curve that connects a few data points. Extrapolation is having a few data points and trying to predict where the curve will go in the future. In this case, the data points are known position and flight parameters (speed, thrust, commanded thrust, stick position, etc.). The extrapolation algorithm tries to predict where the net phantom will be so when the next update of position comes, there will be as little warping as possible.
  10. Looks can be deceiving.
  11. Realistically simulating atmospheric conditions is quite hard, just look at how inaccurate our weather prediction models work. And those don't have anywhere near the resolution needed to simulate turbulence, etc. It's an extremely complicated topic.
  12. The bombs continue on a 0g parabolic trajectory, not 53°. If you push into neg g, you will intersect that trajectory, simple as that. You pulled neg g shortly after release, ergo pilot error. Accept it, correct for it, profit. Or not. Suit yourself.
  13. Yes, theres a drop down menu on the right called forum tools (it's ony there when you're outside a thread), it has an item called 'mark this forum read'.
  14. The performance of the OP is of no significance. Even if he was severely underperforming, that would have been no excuse for the supervisor to lose his tact.
  15. Problems that sort themselves out are my favorite kind of problems. :) Glad everything worked out for you.
  16. Do any of these have a highway running through them, perhaps?
  17. :megalol: Yeah right. I'd sooner believe in hell freezing over (if there was one :P).
  18. You're complete disregard of the possibility of the lugs being at different angles angers me. You sir are in for a savage telling off. :P
  19. I'm off on a tangent here, but we're really children of different times, i guess. Going into year 5 i'm already on my second job, and if opportunity arises to work closer to my original field, i expect to switch again after i finish my education sometime next year. Exactly. If you're interviewing for a job, people aren't going to be keen to bombard you with information about personal conflicts going on in the company (well, if they do, quietly get up and leave as fast as you can ;)). Judging the atmosphere in a team from a job interview visit is *really* hard bordering impossible, so switching jobs is always a jump into cold water (unless you have an inside man you know and trust). :megalol:
  20. I always try to be cautious not to suffer from 'grass is greener on the other side' syndrome. Sometimes things are indeed so bad that it's wise to leave, or maybe the change that is needed is out of one's own control, but if the problem is just with one person, it might be possible to work things out instead of starting somewhere else from scratch. Btw., since the stackexchange network of sites is still kind of unknown out of programmer circles, i'd like to direct you to http://workplace.stackexchange.com/ It is a forum made exactly for these kinds of questions. This is not to say that we can't discuss it here (i think?).
  21. There's not that many monitors overall that are 20", but most i found feature DP. http://geizhals.at/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=1455_20%7E5319_1%7E99_20#xf_top If you consider 21.5", you'll find a lot more since 20" is an uncommon size. http://geizhals.at/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=100_DisplayPort%7E1455_21.5%7E99_21.5#xf_top
  22. Yes, this was sort of my point. Procedural does not imply statistical distribution. In fact, for things like multiplayer to work, you need procedural generation to be absolutely deterministic at any LOD, that is, to generate the same result for the same parameters each time the algorithm is called by any client. So even though the elevation noise or texture noise might be generated by an algorithm, the same noise speck will always end up landing at the same terrain spot. The problem is that while you can impose 'rules' onto procedural generators on where to put water or what kinds of terrain features will likely be populated with trees, if it comes to landmark features like buildings, you'd have to impose so complicated restrictions on the generator that you just might as well skip the procedural aspect in these parts and generate them the old fashioned way, by hand.
  23. How big is your company? Don't you have any company sanctioned ways to report sexual harassment or undue behavior?
  24. I don't know if this is feasible, because these assets are generated from more or less complicated algorithms. I don't think that you can empty them from the cache, as regenerating them would most likely exceed frame time by a large margin. I'm no specialist on this either, but the largest advantage i see is that you can get the footprint of theaters down on the non volatile memory (HDD/SDD, not RAM).
  25. Forums are simply bad communication channels, they remove some very important aspects of human communication that will trigger restraint in both parties. There is a tendency to bring out the less favorable character aspects.
