Curvature of the Earth

And in that vain I have managed to fall through an aircraft carrier, through the ocean, through the blackness and into space all that whilst trying to land inside an open portal on an aircraft carrier in a Gazelle. :D

Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

r/noearthsociety holds the only truth in this debate. Earth is neither flat, nor round, it simply doesn't exist.

 

Although I always thought the Dinosaur earth theorists had some quite compelling arguments...

Still and all it's lens distortion clearly, I mean I get it on my 8 to 12mm FF all the time. :thumbup:

Just wondering, if this has changed anything, with new maps, specially now with Sinai.

We have not made any changes to the principles of how maps are rendered, calculations made in the sim account for the curvature already. 

The whole earth map is being developed for later which will have true curvature. 

thank you

Thank you for clarification.

So there is a progress on the whole earth 3d model (as MSFS 2020). Amazing news.

Look at past me using math and stuff. I definitely googled those formulas, cause I understand exactly zero of what past me said. Unless... future me is dumbing down. Bet it was the vaccine what did me in.

The only place this really becomes relevant, for practical purposes, is on the ocean where the "terrain" is uniformly flat for hundreds of miles, but we have only a sliver of water in Normandy, a portion of a sea isolated to the western third of the map in Georgia, and eventually part of the Persian Gulf, which is apt to likewise make up a relatively small portion of the environment.

Finally we have Marianas but the curvature will still be fun on any map - looking from low alt through targeting pods at the disappearing ships over horizon at tens of miles 😉

well when you calculate it down to the price per km^2 for a map I don't think it would make much of a difference 😂
