dietcokefiend posted:So whats the damage costs on those two planes going to be like? Also how the hell did the Air France guys not see the parked/stationary puddle jumper? Are normal taxing events that close in proximity to other aircraft? You gotta understand just how huge the A380 is. Doing some very rough math, and seeing that it looks like it was the very tip of the wing that hit that jet, the pilots were around 300 feet away from the point of impact. That's loving crazy.

So basically the Queen Elizabeth 2 is like taking a Lamborghini across the pacific. Hmm. What about, say A380s or 747s?

drat. After a labor of love like that, I don't know if I could bear to fly it. I was also totally hoping for an in-cockpit camera with head tracking and video goggles.

CarForumPoster posted:Crybaby forum post: I'll agree it looks a little poo poo, but you're wrong about the hands part. The guy has a leap motion attached to his rift so it's getting his actual hands in 3d space. Then i guess trying to motion track then animate a nicer looking 3d model that can interact with the world. ish.
