  1. Science is the reason. You have to use very high update rates if you expect TWS to keep up with a bandit maneuvering on the edge because he's defending against a missile.
  2. Doesn't redeem the failed projection, it only builds on it. There's so many what if's in your calculation that it's utterly pointless, one way or the other.
  3. How many of those are bots? How many are inactive? How many participate in this forum but don't buy from ED? The number of forum users is about the worst choice after a random number generator.
  4. Progress is being saved. When you restart, the progress bar shows the progress over the remaining amount of data, not the entire update. When you look closely, it indicates that the amount of data left to download is lower when you restart after having downloaded parts of the update.
  5. That's way, waaay too much for one day. :) Focus on no more than one topic a day and try to get a really good understanding. The further you get, the more it will all make sense in the grand scheme, but you need to have a good grasp of the basics. One days curriculum could for example be to learn the intervals of the major scale. Which ones are the half steps, which ones are the full steps? Then try on a piece of paper to write up some major scales in different keys (assuming you are familiar with musical notation, if not, you should start there). That way you learn which notes are sharp and which ones are flat in which key asf. (once you understand the concept, memorize the circle of fives so you can recall it quickly when you need it). You can probably get weeks out of any of these topics if you go really deep (and depending on your previous knowledge, which i know nothing about).
  6. There's so many videos and books out there, just start somewhere. Learn about the major scale. Learn about its chords. Learn about inversions of chords. Learn about the minor scale and its chords (harmonic and melodic minor if you feel fancy). Learn the pentatonic scale and its 5 positions (both major and minor). Learn the 7 modes. Once you have a good understanding of that you can go into more advanced chords (seventh, sixth, ninth, thirteenth and all that jazz). Also get a formal understanding of music, like typical song forms (e.g. 12 bar blues, bridge form, etc.). It's worthwhile learning about voice leading rules as well if you ever want to arrange a song yourself on the guitar.

  8. Usually those that get the most training.

    new ED address

    That's the company adress, not necessarily the same as where the people work. Been that way for a few years.
  10. This is getting boring. You've had enough fish for today.
  11. As for airplanes, since VEAO has folded, ED require 3rd parties to transfer their assets in case that the company goes belly up. As long as the company is in business, yes, they are themselves responsible for making their stuff work. Who would have thought?
  12. Because mission files too are not always inter version compatible. Maintaining them is however not part of ED coder staff work, as such your argument simply makes no sense from a technological standpoint.
  13. You don't get it. Testing against the current state of DCS is part of development, you have to do it anyway. When you want it to work against another version, that is additional work. In case of bigger features, it might be as much as doubling your workload. Something written in January got continuously tested and updated as part of every day development. Backporting it to an older version is not comparable to that. You're saying that because something that was written in January still works in April, it should also have worked in December. But that is just a fundamental misunderstanding of what is happening. From January to April, the dev may have fixed a lot of problems that you never learned about.
  14. Have you looked at the last changelog? That's almost exclusively bugfixes out of ED.
  15. And i'm telling you that it doesn't make a difference. You DO NOT take software from one branch to another and expect it to work. You expect it to break something. Which means you need extensive testing. Will it work? Sometimes it will. It will fail spectacularly some other times.
  16. Moving from openGL to Vulkan is not the same as moving from DX11 to Vulkan. The reason why Vulkan exists is exactly because openGL was no longer competitive. Because those discussions always end in fisticuffs.
  17. All the code matures together. You don't lock yourself in a room and work for three years and develop a module for what DCS will look like by then. You take what DCS looks like now, you develop a bit, then test it against current DCS. When it works, you develop the next bit, then test everything against what is by then the current version of DCS, fixing any bugs that popped up. This means that your code uses all the bells and whistles of current DCS and is not out of the box compatible with anything else. When DCS gets updated, you once again need to test your own code against new DCS and if something got broken, you fix it against that version.
  18. Zero g results in a parabula towards earth. Straight and level is 1g.
  19. Not dimissive, just cautious. If i took everything at face value that is announced in these interviews, i'd have turned my back on DCS. Things like new clouds, proper FLIR renderer, new ATC, new damage model, those things have been thrown around way before you have joined the forum, but they have yet to materialize. It's not that i imply bad faith on ED's part, but counting chickens that haven't hatched turns out bad 90% of the time. You probably know how that proverb about assuming goes...
  20. The bombs follow a ballistic path, so 0g. If you fly with less than 0g, your path will quickly intersect the bomb path.
  21. If you used a Doppler gate on AG radar mode, you would throw away the interesting part in the filter. The Doppler gate is used in AA radar modes to supress noise from ground clutter and enable lookdown.
