Thanks! I guess I could just stop shooting down civilian planes instead.

Cool! I generally delete the previous version and do a new git clone as I'm too lazy to find out how to 'stash' or 'discard' my changes to fix the rebase command not working. While the contrails are lovely, I don't think they should disappear when the plane creating them is destroyed. I know you're ...

Thanks! Sounds like it's going to be very flexible.

...I figured I should rather move it to the core...

Careful! That could be a slippery slope.
*looks at size of Linux kernel these days*

Can you provide any top level indication how these API's might be used?

If you play around with UE5, I’d be happy to hear how it works out! Not very well. Trying the first item in the tutorial: Start a new project from the Game/Blank Template ...gives a missing .net dll error. I'm reinstalling it right now, but it's a 20GB download so it takes a while. Not sure if I ca...

Obviously, the TFX maps are not hugely accurate, but at one time I was looking to see if it was worth trying to map it to the UTM system so existing GIS tools could be used, and then it's only a step away from WGS-84 if it turns out the Earth is round. It would also be cool to specify the tiles in O...

Looks amazing...and it seems 64 bit coordinates are built in now. For me, it would go something like this though: 1. Download and install UE5 2. Follow the DIY tutorial 3. Bask in the glory of getting it working 4. Have no idea what to do next. Is this of any help for TFXplorer? I know how you love ...

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 design bugs that aren’t obvious when you use C/C++. (And also for learning a language that doesn’t reward my tendency o...

Anything I do is not going to be of the magnitude of TFXplorer, and I'm quite happy to use glfw or SDL for cross-platformness. Up until about 2017, I wouldn't be using anything except Windows, and it would be VB5 I'd craft my amazing programs in. From about 2010, I started using Python for pure cons...

The plan was to surprise you by finishing off TFXplorer and making it cross-platform before you got back.
It's a bit harder than I thought and I've only got as far as a CMake tutorial.

As a hobbyist, I'm a bit disillusioned by the plethora SW development options to be honest.

I doubt I'll have posted anything significant before you get back.

Hmmn, a vacation seems like a good idea.

I did a search of my hard drives for TFX related stuff a while ago, although I've found another couple of drives since then. I'll go through them when I get a chance.

I guess Polak or MarkG posted those pictures back in 2007/2008...

Great! Regarding the '480 bytes of doom' thread, I'm pretty sure I have '4planeanalysisv1.jpg' and '4planeanalysisv2.jpg' somewhere and it's just a case of finding them. This may take a while though... EDIT: Actually, I don't have to as they're here: https://app.box.com/s/y155l15jq7fevvbyimwhilmo5eh...

Cool! There's a lot of stuff on there already, and I guess it will only get better.
A lot of your early imageshack links are dead now, but some seem to have been repurposed like the first picture in this link:

A list of CSim threads I must save before CSim vanishes entirely:

Did you do anything about that? If not, I might try and see if I can make some custom scraper.

That 'Bad Torque' error might only be when pressing F5 to spawn a new plane with some 'heavy' joystick input at the same time. Yeah, the speed thing may just be my expectations. Some strange things happening if I go into 'explore' mode and move to a really high altitude before pressing F5. Once it j...

Well, maybe this weekend instead... I'm getting an occasional error box which as the word 'Torque' in it. Not often enough to pin it down to a specific condition. Also, the plane seems sluggish in level flight at say 36000ft. Applying full afterburner, it seems to take a long time to go from 200 to ...

Looks good! Hopefully, I'll get to try it out this weekend.

I don't see that sign in this list:

Sorry, I'm getting a bit cynical regarding stuff on the internet.

Looks the same to me, but then again I often don't notice really obvious changes which gets me into trouble at home sometimes...
