X-Plane - An Obsession For Realism

caseih writes "Popular Science is running an article on Austin Meyer, the creator of the popular X-Plane flight simulator. Although not an open source project, X-Plane has a devoted community of flight enthusiasts and developers who are striving to make it the most realistic flight simulator ever. In fact, flight characteristics are calculated in real time from aircraft design data, not static tables like MS Flight Simulator. PopSci has a neat picture showing X-Plane calculating the lift-drag vectors in real-time across an aircraft. Meyer's quest for realism in his simulations dominates the development and use of X-Plane."

You can't put "first post" achievements on a resume - surely you know this.

I hear the GNAA is looking to hire some 1337 f1rs7 p05+3r5 along with a h34d 1337 f1rs7 p05+3r. They've been having trouble competing with the other trolls lately. Perhaps the grandparent poster is looking to apply?

They're conserving their efforts and proxies for something big I bet, like another crapflooding like they did on the Linux in Afghanistan story. Or maybe enthusiasm for the troll is finally waning.

Or maybe they're just in bed?

Do you know a way (except electrix) to use spell-checker on Mozilla web- forms?
