In reply to "50%plane": You've quoted me above, but in one of the
blocks you added stuff. You should go back and edit that as I did not
write these words that are yours: "Hmm that's a load of fluff and you
know it. Let's keep away from the pointless speculation. Or should I
say this, In G3 you can scale the P-51 to the full scale. A plane
that's worth a couple million." You put these words (yours) in a
quote block of something that I wrote.

Since you're commenting on it, I'll add a few more details about the
Scaling Wizard. If a user wants to have an airplane that is twice the
size of the original one in the sim, all they need to do is type in
"200%" in the sim and the airplane size will be scaled up. On top of
this, the airplane mass properties (weight and inertia), propulsion
system (prop aerodynamics and engine), landing gear physics (springs,
dampers, brakes, etc), crash physics, and everything else etc etc etc
are scaled by the code automatically. The user does not have to tune
these things to make the plane fly. If you want to scale the plane up
16,500 times like you ask in jest, I guess you could do that and with
it goes all the physics scaled up. But obviously you were just
throwing out some silly number and my point is that 'yes' you can size
it however you like. Can the scaling stuff be broken by a user?
Probably, humm throw in a "-200%". But over the range of planes from
6 in span up to 500 ft, things are working. My example there is a
1000x range and covers a lot of ground. The code is not limited to
1000x.

You used the words "fluff" to characterize this scaling thing. Maybe
it does seem like fiction to you. But think about it, I've been doing
RC modeling for ~30 yrs (modeling for ~40 yrs), done all sorts of
aerodynamics work along the way, teach and do research in
aerodynamics, flight simulation, and aircraft design for a living, and
now I'm going to throw out "fluff". Give me a break!

Would you characterize what Mike McConville said also "fluff"?:

Your issues with Horizon can be taken up with them in whatever manner
you choose. It should be clear to you that they are selling the
simulator, but it should also be clear to you that they did not write
the underlying software. So the next question is who wrote the
software. I'm one person, but here's the whole software development
team:

Sorry to hit you with all this, but you're the one questioning the sim
and the integrity of the people behind it.
