May your 2017 be better than your 2016. "May your framerate be high and your temperature low"

Not to rank, but to me this one has affected me the most, being in the younger end of the spectrum on this forum. Such a voice talent...

Okay, reading this thread up and down, I think I know what goal he's trying to accomplish. In itself, he doesn't have anything to sell because he doesn't want to start a proejct. He wants to create a group in which fans of Orbiter can join in their common interest to help the simulator grow my...

There are discussions about where to host the project, still ongoing AFAIK. Personally I'd have preferred a specialized host (like GitHub) over hosting it here, but it seems that things are evolving towards that. Maybe soon the bug report feature of Orbiter Forum will also be used for D3D9. In...

And looking down in the comments... "But wouldn't Lewis be a college student right now? This reunion could even be the reason why she learns about them"

Most likely not. The banding comes from the texture compression and storage type. Dithering should be applied on the texture directly, or better, saved as another (better) DXT format.

But function calling means stack layer creation, branch creation, and all the other neat stuff that CPUs can afford to do, but not GPUs computing for millions of pixels every single frame. By flattening the shader I hope to delete as much function calls as possible and make it as linear as...

So, since I can't really work on D3D9 anymore because of my new engineering school I'm attending, I spent some time thinking about my Lens Flare shader and the performance loss. There was something I knew all along but had forgotten to retrieve when I was making the shader. Since I want it to...

I tried to dig on my own, nothing here either. The bug randomly happens but nothing seems to be the cause. Did we really anger the Probe that much? :hailprobe: That is the correct behavior. Only ships are taken into account hen calculating light illumination. No terrain lighting for now.

I had the same problems when using Fullscreen Window mode and a selected resolution that differed from the desktop one (I set this up so that I could quickly change between 1080p and 4K using NVIDIA's DSR mode). The result was a 5x5-ish winidow that would display on the top left of the screen...

Milouse over on the Dan's forums reported Orbiter NG causing Avira heuristics to be triggered and unvalidate the executable (which I presume is a security measure taken to prevent execution). Deactivating the antivirus software makes Orbiter NG fine. He didn't say if it happened regardless of...

The "normal" release does not provide HDR with post processing enabled. My Lens Flares build provide a, well, lens flare effect, but no HDR yet. Properly achieving HDR would mean having to rework a major part of the graphics engine.

I guess that's why both SVN and Git are popular, as I don't like SVN, but to each their own as said. Even as a beginner it's always been easier for me to use Git. Even the simple fact you can add several commits before pushing makes it so much convenient to documents changes in the code. And the...

It's like everything is going to change. And it should be right? I live in Toulouse, France, which is in the south of the country. I was born there, and the 18 first years of my life have all been concentrated there, with a few exceptions if we start accounting for the trips I took to Germany...

On un unrelated post, I'm proposing my own changes on top of Jarmo's for thee Earth atmosphere. Test by unzipping to /Config/GC.

I know, that's why I meant it as a joke. I'm personally more or less comfortable with both of them, since I learned both at roughly the same time. But I can see why someone used to SVN could have a hard time switching to Git, even when the grass is way greener on the other side ;) I could...

Why, exactly, is this a drawback? :lol: Microsoft went and transfered their code to GitHub. VS Code, their open source text editor/ lightweight IDE is on GitHub. This does seem to me as the best option too. The website would need to be placed on a branched called "gh-pages", and the code can be...

Having past experience with GitHub I'd say it would be the best place to handle releases and issue tracking, and has a web api to get the latest release, a certain tag, or a specific release. The actual code in the repository could be a landing page that serves those different versions, as well...

That's the "classic" way, and the way most games still do it. Space Engine has a very complex implementation of textured lens flare that allows for easy customization of every part - but it always felt off to me. The parts are that: parts; they don't evolve, they just move on screen. That being...

Netflix is a video streaming service. Think Spotify but for series and movies. Also Netflix has gained enough momentum to make its own films and series. Orange is the New Black is one of them, if you've heard of it.
