Ah I get it....
So you can play around with these variables for the desired affect......
Not sure about nowadays but I know in the early days of flight sims they used 'look-up tables' where all the FM data is already there, the engine just looked up these references and the plane flew accordingly, the computer didn't really calculate any physics or stuff like that. I know MS Flight Sim did it this way, while X-Plane uses it's own algorithmns and produced a better experience. They both have there pros and cons.... Lookup tables more memory intensive but less strain on the CPU while X-Plane is the other way around with all the heavy calculations it has to do in real time.....
Just wondering how VSF goes about things.
Don't worry if your not too sure. I don't want to take too much of your time and/or even bore some of you guys!!! :
