TFXplorer gets a cannon API. It’ll be much like the engine API that was added lately. As a start, I have repaired the rendering of bullets. (It was broken since I separated the legacy EF2000/TAW renderer away from TFXplorer’s renderer.) This commit is not yet pushed; I will probably push it after so...

To be honest, I have decided back in 2019 – it must have been when Toumals F-117 remake fell apart due to lack of 64-bit coordinate support – that I will not make the Earth round yet. For one, it’s enormous work getting all this stuff right. Using 64-bit coordinates doesn’t save you from it because ...

Looks amazing...and it seems 64 bit coordinates are built in now. Indeed, the PDF says: We are pleased to say that Unreal Engine supports 64-bit calculations in its latest release, Unreal Engine 5. The integration of 64-bit precision means that the engine is now suitable for simulations that take p...

Russian SAM site exploding on Snake Island
SAM cannot shoot down small suicide drones – the radar confuses them with birds due to their small size, low speed, and non-metallic fabric. The hit makes a surface-to-air missile fire off.

The paper also includes insights from users who ar...

Fixed that error; it was an uninitialized variable. Got in when I added the new engine API because TAW’s physics require access to the total torque on the plane.

Since I added it to the original commit, you’ll need to do a git pull --rebase …

Su-?? spinning towards ground

From about 2010, I started using Python for pure console stuff, but mostly went back to VB5 for anything with a GUI. Ever since I’m planning to give you an API in a non-C/C++ language, I was having an eye on implementing a Python binding. Not just for your enjoyment, but also for finding obscure de...

Cool! My wife has a Macbook, too, and in fact that’s where most of my attempts at cross-platform development take place

Regard cross-platform: My Ninja-based build environment is 100 % ready, so we don’t need Visual Studio any more. I just haven’t pushed the change to the repository, as I want to test it out extensively. I wouldn’t like later corrections to such a huge and complicated change. The Clang build is 95 % ...

Seems like your doubts were correct! 😂

I’ll be on vacation. Don’t know if I’ll have internet (or time to use it). Happy Easter! Hope to see you back on April 23! In the meantime, new users will probably not be able to post due to spam restrictions. Mike, you have some moderator rights, but I don’t know if they’re sufficient to unlock new...

I’m having problems viewing that site, but I’ll trust Google that Archive Team has already started saving Combatsim:

Fixed! 👍 You don’t, by pure accident, have one of those as well, do you? simhq/mikews-palette-editor/Sky_1.jpg simhq/mikews-palette-editor/Sky_2.jpg simhq/mikews-palette-editor/Sky_3.jpg simhq/mikews-palette-editor/Sky_4.jpg simhq/mikews-palette-editor/gloomy.jpeg simhq/mikews-palette-editor/EF2K_W1...

Would be awesome. We won’t let entropy win ever again!
