    Caspian Airlines Flight 7908 crash, from a new perspective

    Did seem strange to me as well, refueling a fighter so close to civilian traffic? however since the video perhaps shows an entirely different crash, one of a military aircraft, maybe its not a coincidence. does youtuber 'aeronut19' have the answers? I haven't checked this out properly, but...

    Project Universal Dynamic Virtual Cockpit

    I'm pleased you're probably going with a modular approach, it will allow for many different layouts and a richer experience of flying different craft. I'm sure you've considered it already, but being able to specify a texture set for the panels in the config file for each layout would be...

    Teleportation (forked from Sci-Fi Anti-G suit design)

    Whether its murder or not might be essentially down to intent and performing an act based on that to make the transport go wrong. Whether you actually die or not within a machine like that is irrelevant from an outside point of view - the cloned entity will still fill in the same tax form and...

    Teleportation (forked from Sci-Fi Anti-G suit design)

    other than it would kill you and essentially create a new clone/copy (a bit like moving a file from one drive to another and deleting the old file) then that might work great... From your perspective it might seem like nothing happened though, your clone would wake up, in your own cells...

    Science Sci-Fi Anti-G suit(20-50Gs+) design?

    Sounds a little bit like an 'accelleration shell' http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.asp?Bnum=870

    Project Universal Dynamic Virtual Cockpit

    Hey Moach, this is a great idea, would it possible to make it modular? like break it down into maybe 10 panels that can be arranged using 3d proxy models in a modelling app, then you could perhaps crib the position data to tell each module where to appear in orbiter?

    Clever, but is it Art?

    haha, thats an awesome analysis... I mean i'm not sure thats true on an individual basis but the tie itself has a certain significance, it does say something about the wearer whether that person likes it or not... The machine really highlights the silly complexity of this little accessory.

    do you have any idea how big that would be? Tell you what, I'll make you one, but it'll cost you several thousand if I just cover costs. ;) ---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ---------- we just... don't talk about them. but they're everywhere...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Ah, yes game models are very different to the type of output you'd get from a cad package like that... I used to use Autocad professionally for local companies but i don't recall things like that ever being called features. Anyway, in order to work in a game you would have to convert those...

    I'm really not sure what you mean... How are modelling tools like those considered features? Are you curious about the processes involved in building it?

    Humor A small step for Australia: Space beer brewed for zero-gravity thirst

    Maybe you could 'pour' a glass by opening a bottle and rotating oneself to create a little artificial gravity within the bottle. using that same force and surface tension, perhaps you could fill a glass and carefully drink from it? or if that makes you too dizzy, leave a floating ball of wine...

    Humor A small step for Australia: Space beer brewed for zero-gravity thirst

    I hope these spacecraft are designed well enough to cope with drunk people on board. Beer must be one of the worst on-orbit drug delivery systems imaginable... I mean its lots of liquid for a small amount of psychotropic ingredient so its buzz/weight ratio is poor, it dehydrates & generates...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    I think Dougs provided a great set of automatic controls, no it's not the pre-programmed effortless, sit back and relax etc. experience but its not meant to be and if you think it should be like that then you're missing the point. XR's put the human back into human spaceflight, if that means we...

    Scientific Method Mega Thread

    wow, an ignorant teacher, who'd a thunk it... Teachers teach their own personal beliefs constantly, maybe its just my own experience but i find teachers are as weird as anyone else, and often weirder. Perfect teachers are not possible to have... If she wants to have that belief, fine.. its...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Like I've been saying, I don't really care if its hydraulic or electric. It could be either, it could be both. From my POV It's not worth getting bogged down in a debate about... Some interesting points all round though, perhaps we should say that everyone is right and leave it at that;)

    Question How do you make exhaust textures?

    its probably easier to open one of the existing dds files and edit it, rather than try and set up a new file from scratch. IIRC, you'll need to edit the channels - so you should have a 4 channel image and the alpha channel will control the opacity of the texture... Colour is applied with the...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Thats not necessarily true. If you have a powerful fuel source but only use it in a limited way, you have to assume you perhaps don't have much available. I mean; you have to haul it back through the stargate with a special forces team after stealing it from Egyptian gods. So the economics of...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Yes thats exactly right, only deploying the dock on final approach. the only other time you would want the nose open is to allow a pressurised ground vehicle (i'm sure i mentioned this on the last page) to dock with it when on the moons surface, or perhaps being taxii'd over to a (also...
