    Using masers/directional antennas for communication with stealth aircraft.

    B-2 AFAIK has only Link 11/Link 16 receivers, as there's nothing to transmit. F-22 and F-35 use narrow-beam LPI Link-16 transmitters, which, however, require "handshake" before connection, which is a possible issue. But that's far better than "silence".

    Discussion Nosewheel Steering (sample + code)

    From the looks of the code, there will be a problem: SetAngularVel will totally cancel rudder effect when rolling on runway on high speed. This will be an issue for high takeoff speed vessels like HyperDart. However, a good thing to start with. Well done.

    New atmospheric model for Earth

    If this is still actual - a small feature request: Can you please implement also oxygen and moisture content in the air? The first is crucial for jet engine modelling, the second - will just add for the future.

    The biggest disaster you have caused in Orbiter

    Crash-landed into the White House. Much more of a disaster from american point of view :P

    How about adding this question to the FAQ?

    Question Base MFD

    It shouldn't ba an MFD. How do you think, can something like that be on the real craft?..

    Problem Transparent/glass surface masking objects behind

    Yeah. Try both - with groups and with separate meshes. May work.

    Problem Transparent/glass surface masking objects behind

    Well, these problems can be avoided by forming a single index buffer for transparent objects and passing it to the renderer in one call. Z-buffer should work well then. gattispilot, try breaking the glass into separate groups - e.g. front glass - one group, left ones - another and so on. If...

    Poor man.

    I think I can make 2+2 = 5, it's so cool! Possible proof offered:

    The preciousness of math is that you can't prove something like that, as opposed to crazy speeches. Uhm... That someone forgot to take his medications. What's wrong with all these guys lately? Is this the spring exacerbation?..

    F-22 vs YF-23

    AIM-120A and AIM-120D range varies twice - so this is an uncautious statement. Also, WVR combat begins at 10-15nm - so it's missiles like R-73RMD2 are what should be considered medium range BVRAAM missile, not the other way. All AMRAAMS are BVR.

    F-22 vs YF-23

    1.Serial F-22 has only 2 crashes, much less than any other mass production fighter in the world. 2.Main reason for preferring YF-22 over YF-23 was 22's agility, required to gain WVR superiority over 4++ generation fighters (e.g. MiG-35/Su-37). 3.Another reason for preferring the Boeing/Lockheed...

    How big is space in Orbiter?

    Unfortunalely, you will hit the barrier earlier. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_precision When the distance to reference body exceeds 2^52m ~= 4.5*10^15m, Orbiter will work with a 1-meter precision. That is, no docking and high numerical instabilities. Futher - worse.

    Question Attachment Management

    Check the return of AttachmentCount() function. You may have problems with the attachments itself, as there are some restrictions on the parameters.

    Google Earth Plugin for Orbiter (beta)

    Exactly. I don't know the concrete mechanics (maybe FSX itself has a pipe-accessible API), but the client program runs separately. Thus, the only problem will be to examine the sources and find an adequate conversion.

    Google Earth Plugin for Orbiter (beta)

    IIRC, TileProxy is a program, not module. That is, you can download a program (TileProxy) and modify it to use with Orbiter (write a plugin to communicate with TP). Also, according to GPL chapter 3 ("Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law"), rightholders can not limit...

    Google Earth Plugin for Orbiter (beta)

    Just a thought: maybe it'll be better to try to adapt TileProxy?..
