Hesitating on checking it out right now. The several videos I've seen depict a worthy successor of FSX, in that it just shows too much of FSX in it. The handling of the planes feel a tad too linear and easy, the graphics makes you nostalgic of the FS2004/FSX era, and some parts of the engine are...

For those who wish to see the ransomware in action (plus check out the channel full of viruses and old old OSes!)

How innacurate would you say it is? Tweaks still needs to be made, and there is the possibility to actually customize it - one might even make several versions and allow through external utility to select one.

The white blob is not the sun itself but the light scattering caused by the atmosphere, which does not take shadows into account.

Maybe you prefer desktop version and I'm okay with that kind of masochism. :lol: But desktop pages on mobiles are never, ever better than their mobile apps counterparts. On the one (historic) hand you get 17" to 21" screens, put on their long axis (meaning width > height), and on the other hand...

Netflix emails me from time to time with new stuff and recommendations. Also on my mobile phone, the app sends notifications when new stuff is available.

Pipey the Piper is the best Chrome extension ever. :lol:

My desktop: (warning, swear words)

Everything is better in Premiere though! The integration with other Adobe products, the VST integration for the sound, the color correction (so fast to get good result and the previews are so fluid!), finalrender times, etc... I'm working with real footage for the moment, but I've been...

So... That's it guys. Cassini's low on fuel, and NASA is planning to make the probe do its final plunge into Saturn. I'll definitely cry over the livestream they'll probably set up as Cassini give its last digital breath. That probe was launched before I was born, I followed it all throughout...

Didn't see any CMake support with VS 2017 Community and the VC++ module installed. Didn't look for it either, though, might have missed it. EDIT: whoa, didn't see that full page of messages after this one

You can't live stream directly from Orbiter, however you can use the excellent and free Open Broadcaster Software and set it up to your favorite livestreaming website (YouTube Live, Twitch, etc.)

That particular code is taken from the lighting code - and I noticed that too when I was putting it together.

Don't lie, you just took screenshots from Outerra... :lol:

I went to see Passengers after seeing no advertisement whatsoever. I did like the setup of the movie, and I did like the spaceship as well as the space background. However, the rest... Classic love story, nothing really new about it. They took an extraordinary setup and put an extra-unordinary...

If you're going for photo-realism, then motion blur, bloom (and maybe lens flare*) are not art as much as they are tools to improve immersion. When you're going for the full camera simulation, you have to implement those effects. But are they overdone? Most certainly, most of the time. Also, HDR...

That is a better thought way of my "hacking" version - but the idea is the same. But with HDR, exposure effects are not set up on a per-object basis (you should not see the stars when looking at the Earth on its bright side, nor on the moon, despite what moon landing hoaxers say), but light...

"Hacking" this in would require a few lines of code: check whether if the sun is in frame, disable star rendering if it is. But the proper way to do it would be with exposure simulation - and that requires full HDR workflow. I've been trying to add it to D3D9 but that proved rather hard as...

This is a known bug that has no quick fix. We'll have to either get it working again or finally draw real shadows...

The NVIDIA API provides access to its Stereoscopic 3D features. One has to download the required NVIDIA libraries and compile D3D9 with them. As it is not a featured used with a majority of users, for development purposes it is easier to just compile without the NVIDIA libraries that would...
