I wonder which polish they use in the hangar?

Anyone else wish you could actually start from inside the ASOBO hangar and taxi the plane out from there? lol

It is worth noting that the product below was for "positive earth only".

Positive earth vehicles are far more efficient than the current. poorly designed. negative earth versions that have become popular lately as some form of misled cost cutting encouraged by well intention but unscientific government over regulation.

A simple analysis of how electricity works will reveal why positive earth is better.   As we all know from grade school science, electrons are negatively charged and flow from negative to positive.  Hence, electrons leave from the negative output terminal of a generator or battery and return via the positive input terminal.

This means in a negative earth vehicle all the electrons are dumped into the chassis of the vehicle in question creating negative charge issues and then must make their way willy nilly to whatever device needs electricity before eventually returning to the  battery or generator for reuse. Inefficient and wasteful.

In the much more efficient positive earth system (as developed by Lucas Electrics) the electrons are sent directly to the device that needs them before returning to a pool in the positive earth chassis where they are recycled as needed. Clearly more efficient and as a bonus better for the environment.

That'd be awesome - they should allow it from some larger airports.  Would be so cool.....

I hope in the future they expand on the hangar concept in MSFS. With assistance from the likes of Continental for example it would be cool to virtually open up the cowling of a C172, hoist out the engine, place it on the workbench and tear it down. Each part labelled  with a  blurb about what it is and what it does. 

Kind of like a simpler version of what RR has done with its amazing jet engine VR training system, mind blown! This for training G650 engine techs on the RR BR75 engine.

They are using "Reverse Polish".

Check the SDK documentation, "Additional Information", there is a chapter about it. 

They are applying it to all their gauge and animation code too, to make it shine.

Perfect!  Geek humor.  Gotta love it.

And Lorby's right.  It wouldn't look near as good pre-fix or in-fix as it does post-fix. 😄😄

That really is a great idea IMO.👍

It  certainly would be great to wheel the plane out of the hangar and push it back in after the flight, like 310 pilot does on youtube.
