Day 27 - September 28th

Over the weekend testing continued. CAE has a test pilot here who is running some of the QTG manually, which generally requires some pilot skill to accomplish.

I interrupted Henry, who is working on the visual alignment, for a few minutes and took a quick flight around the patch. The visual seems nice and the textures are quite impressive compared to what I'm used to. With the new, much more powerful IG computers the capacity to generate higher detail and support a more 3D environment is so much better. More buildings can be modeled around the airport scene, 3d trees and other components are available and terrain is much more detailed. Have a look . . .
