[simpits-tech] What I've been up to lately...

[ALBERT]

You just gave me an extra reason to visit US.

Good luck with everything. Have you got a kick ass site up to promote the
business?

I also have to say. I salute your business goal to put sharing simulation
experience with others before making a profit.
Once I was told by a wiseman, quote "flight simulator is the MOST
interesting and Interactive lesson in physics you can possibly get!" after I
heard that...it was like seeing the white light...I realised there is no
reason why this habit of mine should be hiden in the closet. It is not only
fun, but its also "Educational"! (plus a dose of alter ego of a wannabe
fighter pilot of course hehe)

Young kids can learn alot out of flight sims. It is something interesting
unlike the traditional maths lesson. If only someone told me Triganometry
was what they used to work out bomb projectile, and missiles hit...maybe I
would have paid more attention to the maths teacher I had.

Share the experience, and educate the young minds to appreciate the beauty
of flight. Maybe its an opportunity you can organise with local school and
tailor some interactive physic workshops in your Simworld :) If Maverick is
travelling at a speed of 560knots head to head with Iceman travelling at
460knots. What are their closure speed in inches per second :)

Good luck and show us some photos.
