[simpits-tech] Image warping (Was: Frustration!)

[Roberto Waltman]

Specialty?  Jack of many trades and master of a few of them.
20+ years on embedded systems software. Used to be very good at math, 
but that was many moons ago.
(And it is true that if you don't use it you lose it.)
Basic OpenGL knowledge.  "Visualizing Quaternions" book on my night 
table, untouched ...
Pilot in real life, (although rusty,) gliders + SEL.
Interested on flight simulators as projects that bring together many of 
my interests (math, electronics, physics, software, aviation;  piano 
doesn't fit in a '152,) and as training tools.  *Not* interested in 
flight simulators as games, in particular, extremely not interested in 
multi-player flight simulation.
Mainly run (past tense) X-plane on Linux, with rare detours to Flightgear.
Had for a short while a 3-computer 3-monitor setup, disassembled during 
a major basement cleanup.
Slowly putting back something I hope will look like this:

Planning a similar 5-monitor layout, with 5 diskless computers (one per 
monitor) + a sixth for instruments and a file server to feed them all.  
Have most of the hardware, but very little time to work on it.
I just ordered X-Plane 10, maybe it will reignite the fire ...

PS:  Probably (much) more geometry/trigonometry than calculus.

Cool, what's your specialty? I'm fairly comfortable with OpenGL, decent 
on trig, but very weak on calculus. I don't know if I will need calculus 
stuff for this yet, but I suspect so.
