I love this guy --- he is the big boss of the company -- while he makes his own videos to give tip-top tech info --- refreshing --- thanks and keep up the good works.
So not to be pedantic (aka I'm about to be very pedantic) but jet engines don't have a limited amount of power, they have a maximum amount of power, which is itself a function of airspeed due to aforementioned ram air and comprehensibility effects. Also in principle any fluid dynamics problem can be broken down into some object geometry dependent coefficients that you enter/measure and the mach number, reynolds number and froude number (the last of which is almost always irrelevant for air) and from there the same equations will be more or less universal (with a few caveats and assumptions about constant heat capacities).
*those coefficients are also functions of those three numbers in addition to geometry but nothing else. Same geometry (which implicitly includes AoA), same mach and reynolds, same preformance
This is why I love X-Plane and keep advocating for X-Plane for flight training instead of MSFS. I love how he always starts from the physics and goes from the instead of coding how the planes should react.
Also… could the team give some love to X-Plane Mobile 🙏 my iPad Pro M4 16GB is so powerful and can handle so much higher graphics and texture quality please allow higher settings or if that’s to much work just enable 120FPS because now I’m just stuck at 60FPS locked with bad graphics 😢. Oh and while I’m asking for extra features please look into integrating some kind of frame generation and maybe ray tracing. ( I know I can use lossless scaling app for frame gen but that doesn’t have access to motion vectors of the game/sim so the quality isn’t that great.
0:00 - The X-Plane guy... Or as I call him, the dude that sits in my Citation X and wont get out even when I turn the lights off. Yes, I know he goes away if I lower the weight. I like having him there. We need more passengers on our aircraft.
this video highlights a very simple and accurate "saying" there are two types of flight simmers, ones who care about the visuals and ones that care about the nuts and bolts concerning how accurate the sim actually is...
Excellent video. Take a drink every time Austin says "first principles" 😄
Absolutely fantastic explanation. Austin would make a such a great instructor. The wall of insulating air protecting the jet engine is so AMAZING!

Amazing work team!

Loved this video. Cant wait to hop on tomorrow and do some flying!
How many people works at Laminar Research ?
About 25-35 people

cool! awesome
Awesome stuff!
wait what you use TH-cam videos of someone starting an engine for this? Why not buy engine data from GE and code an engine with their info?
