Cross products aren't as useful in the case where the two vectors lie along the same line.
Did you try calculating the angle between two vectors pointing in opposite directions?
Seems like VectorMath::angle would result in atan2(0,1) for both the same direction and also for the opposite...
Similar is Kutta:
Where I went to school and worked (Northwest, USA), amongst working engineers, in aerodynamics it is always the "KOO-tah Condition". (Proper German pronunciation.)
However, it seemed most often to be the RUNG-gah - CUT-tah (Runge-Kutta) family of integration methods...

CppCheck does good work. It doesn't catch everything. It's primary concern is low false positives. It is getting steadily better.

Make sure you push the compiler warning level to the highest. It is...
Microsoft FSX flying and air traffic controlling on VATSIM (Virtual Air Traffic SIMulation),
various air traffic control games - Radar Chaos was fun before the recent graphics upgrade,
iRacing - now that the virtual Indy 5000 is past, I'm practicing with the Ford GT.
Sniper Elite is fun angling...
Another organizational benefit in large projects derives from the actions of Source Code Control systems. These tools keep track of every change. if two or more programmers (starting from the same state of the code) change the same line of code then check the changes back into the system, the...
It depends on the school. It was a University or College of Engineering-levied requirement at the University of Washington. I ended up having to pay for almost half of an entire quarters worth of credits that were not counted toward my degree in order to make up for not having any foreign...
Checking that every member variable in a C++ class is initialized to some valid value, in every constructor, is critical in C++. It even doesn't matter very much what value that is.
What is most important to me is that the value not be random. (If you don't initialize it specifically, some...
I've read some of the 1950's books available on Gutenberg in the last few years, and Rodion's RIP Foster is now one of my favorites. Almost all of it seemed at least semi-plausable. I'm disapointed the author didn't end up writing a series with that setting and characters. :thumbup:
Maraming...
CppUnit is another xUnit system, open source in C++. I use it for Orbiter C++ code testing.

I would suggest using the plugin as a model of some vehicle subsystem that is always on. The MFD would be designed to:
1) display data from the plugin
2) accept commands from the user and send them on to the plugin
With this architecture, the plugin is always on. If the MFD is not processing...
One of my co-workers (a Canadian citizen) at NASA/JSC went almost all the way in the Canadian selection, making it to the "round of 20" . It was a great experience for her and quite a compliment.
What I found interesting was the numbers. Something like first selection in 17 years for Canadian...
