This is for everyone who is interested in those things. I read through the document the Noobifier linked, I understood some of it (unfortunately not all, which made me cry for being too stupid to understand it) and it offers great insight into the flight model of this game and what can be achieved with it in the future.

I am amazed at what John Pritchett has managed to accomplish here. I never delved into it before but now I have a greater appreciation for the huge complexity of it.

And yes, I am fanboing over it... Here, have an Aurora MR distraction gift with a beer cooler instead of a bed and a cupholder on the dash!

very cool video

IFCS is just one part of the physics simulation

which in turn is just one set of the many calculations that need to be constantly updated in real time

which is why performance optimisation is hard

props to the Devs
