Austin's video on FM improvements in XP 12.0.8

[Murmur 3,944]

.) Jet engine thrust limits for max KEAS and max inlet temperature. This resulted from an exchange I had with Austin months ago, all beginning with a thread here on AVSIM about F-14 being too fast at low altitudes. So thank you AVSIM!

.) Modeling of fuel-oil heat exchange (as it happens in real jet engines) and its influence on fuel temperature, also depending on speed, altitude, outside temperature, etc.;

.) Modeling of break-away friction for tires resulting in break-away thrust to start taxiing.

.) Refining of temperature model for reciprocating engines, based on real flight test data.

.) Some final statements about other things the rest of the team is working on.

XP steamrolling away on flight model improvements like a quarterback in the NFL. 😁

That's fantastic detail in simulation.

That will make ground physics even more advanced and increase the lead in this (and many other) aspects of flight simulation.

Hmmm I don't know... I'm waiting for X-Plane scenery to model pebbles under water streams, until then I'm not satisfied!

This was very interesting and he modeling this feature in the sim. Good job for LR.

I am sure Austin will figure out something like using the racer gamepad to poke you if you sit down on one of those pebbles.😂

Next gen graphics and scenery. Interesting. I wonder what that is.

I think they will not only improve the autogen but also entirely redo the way ground-textures are being generated. We know that it won't be orthos but i am expecting these new testures to be "based" on orthos to generate some closer-to-real-looking textures and perhaps also increase the mesh's resolution. My guess is that they will do everything they can do without using 1:1 orthos (not doable because of horrendous licence-costs).

I would also like them to increase the distance of city-lights during night and they should also add volumetric lights with cloud-reflections etc. But i think this will take 6-12 months to be really good. Let's see 🙂

On one hand, thank you for poking Austin to implement better jet engine modeling, on the other hand, curse you because a lot of third party aircraft will have to be updated now and I just know whose job that's gonna be if they're adandonware... 😑 😉

That may be the most easily digestible video I’ve ever seen from Austin. Love him or hate him, there’s no questioning his enthusiasm.

yep we're gonna need some of that to sort out these cockpits lol

I'm all for this realistic lighting physics stuff but not so good on a computer screen

Here a small video showing a comparison with real life. I think they did a great work on the wheels-physics.

When you have someone who's a pilot, physicist and engineer...it's hard to go wrong with the physics.

Haha

They spelt matches wrong tho. 🤣
