Subject: PC flight simulators
From: "Sierk Melzer" Date: 11/18/03 12:03 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: I don't think such a thing exists. Not even the most expensive military or commercial simulators fall under this definition. For example today it is AFAIK impossible to simulate post-stall airflow in real time "with total accuracy" on any computer Yes. It is a chaos theory problem that has to this date not been solved. But Dr.Mandelbrot of IBM has made progress and hopefully we will have a solution soon. When Einstein was dying someone asked him what he would ask god when he got to heaven, Einstein answered,"Well I think god will have all the answers to relativity. But I don't think he will have all the ansers to Chaos Theory". And airflow falls under chaos theory as do whirlpools. To give you some idea of the diffficulty of the problem, the most powerful super computers working for a full year could only plot whirlpool or air eddy patterns over a 30 second period. That is one reason why we can't yet predict weather with any high degree of certainty or post stall airflow in real time.. Let's all wish Dr. Mandelbrot luck.
