Unrelated to this article, but do you plan on simulating wake turbulence?

In reply to Ben Supnik. Nonsense. You're a raptor replacing Ben in the velocirapture where you'll be taking over the world, aren't you? Wake up, sheeple! It's actually happening! ;-)

In reply to Jamesbaby286. In a rather astounding coincidence, everyone in the company has been separately eaten by freak Tiger attacks that simultaneously occurred in NYC, Connecticut, Massachussetts, South Carolina, Texas, San Antonio, and um, Spain.

More than a week since last X-plane Developer Blog update, panic. PANIC!
Do you guys have some sort of Blog update schedule?, eg. Every month you aim to post something.

In reply to Mathias. Hello Please read the manual, there you will find the explanation how to extract YOUR airport from the x-plane database. You CAN edit standard airports in WED.

In reply to Jonathan. Sorry, I've never compared aniso quality on the two cards.

This looks hopeful: http://www.barefeats.com/wst10g6.html

Seems the 5770 is comparable to the 4870, give or take some shading and bandwidth differences. And then the 5870 (apparently the only other choice in Mac land) is essentially a doubled 5770. I’ll have to see if that’s worth it. I like to run at high resolutions and prefer to be CPU-bound, but it’s a little expensive just to keep the thing alive.

One more thing, do you know how the anisotropic filtering quality compares to the 8800? Nvidia was better in that respect, I believe. Or maybe the Mac drivers influence things a little (in my experience they tend to avoid certain optimizations).

Thanks for helping out!
