A neat read. Only had a chance to skim it, as I'm off to take my little brother back to school, but it goes into detail about the terrain and methods they're using to make it/display it to the user.

Hmm..nice read. Sure are a lot of "nevers" in that article though.

"You'll never see anything that looks impossible.." regarding the scenery/building placement. Hmmm..sounds ambitious to me..

Also - some of this interview seemed awfully familiar. The first question is merely a cut and paste of a post/email distribution that Austin sent out way back in September of 2010:

More of the same later in the article..the entire answer to the question about weather is cut and pasted from Nicolas' January posting at X-Plane.ORG:

The other 13 of 15 questions are one-line answers, some of which are basically "shrugs"..

Anyway - a few new tidbits, but not much in the way of a meaty interview by Avsim on that one..probably more Austin's fault for not expanding on some of the questions that he was asked.

Thanks for the link.

Looked like a mostly copy&paste interview reply to me as well.
I guess that's Austin's way of saying "Back off, I'm busy!".
