Apparently corn isn't one  :frown:

What's New and Beneficial about Corn

    You can get health-supportive antioxidant benefits from all varieties of corn, including white, yellow, blue, purple and red corn. But recent research has shown the antioxidant benefits from different varieties of corn actually come from different combinations of phytonutrients. In the case of yellow corn, it's the antioxidant carotenoids leading the way, with especially high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin. In the case of blue corn, it's the anthocyanins. There's one particular hydroxybenzoic acid in purple corn—protocatechuic acid—that's also been recently linked to the strong antioxidant activity in this corn variety.

    In research on carotenoid antioxidants in food, there has been ongoing debate over the availability of all carotenoids in any particular food if one or two specific carotenoids are present in unusually high amounts. Because yellow corn is a high-carotenoid food that contains highly differing amounts of individual carotenoids, researchers have long wondered whether it is possible to get health benefits from all of the carotenoids in yellow corn when their concentrations are sometimes so different. In yellow cornmeal, the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin fall into the high concentration category and reach a level of 1,355 micrograms per 100 grams. That level is nearly 14 times as high as the level of beta-carotene (97 micrograms per 100 grams). But thanks to recent research, we now know that absorption of beta-carotene from yellow cornmeal is only mildly compromised by the high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the cornmeal. In other words, in terms of carotenoid nourishment, we appear to get health benefits from all of corn's diverse carotenoids!

    We correctly think about corn as a good source of fiber. Corn is a food that gives us plenty of chewing satisfaction, and its high ratio of insoluble-to-soluble fiber is partly the reason. Past researchers have not been clear, however, about the ability of corn fiber to nourish our lower digestive tract. When you look at foods as a whole, they contain many different types of fiber, and when certain types of fiber reach the lower part of our large intestine (especially certain types of soluble fiber) they can be metabolized by intestinal bacteria into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This process not only helps support healthy populations of friendly bacteria in our large intestine, but also provides a direct supply of energy (in the form of SCFAs) to the cells that line our large intestine. With this benefit of this extra SCFA energy supply, our intestinal cells can stay healthier and function at a lower risk of becoming cancerous. Recent research has shown that corn can support the growth of friendly bacteria in our large intestine and can also be transformed by these bacteria into SCFAs. These SCFAs can supply energy to our intestinal cells and thereby help lower our risk of colon cancer. The amount of corn fiber analyzed in recent studies has been relatively high at 12 grams per day. That's the same amount provided by about 2.5 cups of fresh corn. While that amount might be more than you would consume at a single meal, it's an amount that you might easily consume over the course of several days. We suspect that future research will demonstrate the risk-reducing effects of smaller amounts of corn consumed over a longer period of time.

I do use track IR, but breaking the deadband and using it to bear on things that should be in my natural field of view would be unnatural as far as realism goes, and it would defeat the point of having a 100 degree FOV. Natural FOV is 180 degrees, so the default 100 degrees of AH is actually small.

I use more than 100 with trackir and I see wingtip to wingtip.

I just tried War Thunder again for about the 10'th time. I spent about 10 minutes, again, in it, said "this blows", and left.

What good is eye candy if the flight model is poor?

If I can remember correctly, Ganjin bought the physics engine from Oleg for an undisclosed sum. Also, last time I checked, Dhyran and a few retired Aces High players were in charge of calculating the flight model for each plane.

I wonder what qualified Dhyran for such a job? Does he own and fly his own aircraft?

Are most aircraft designers and engineers also pilots?

well

i studied mechanical engineering, aircraft engineering and own a master degree in electronical engineering, additional i own a PPL and i fly sims since flight on Apple II....... (indeed they called it a simulator back in 1981)
All the tools to calculate airfoils and building the engines, calculating the CoG, the focus points, props and all that stuff takes a lot of time but is great fun! But one hint, you must fly in FRB mode, the arcade mode has nothing to do with the calculated the FM.

well

all WT Lds preorderd BoS, hoping that we gonna find what we are looking for.... AH2 was a great time and fun, but things are moving, AH looks too much outdated to me, and i miss a lot of additional stuff

So Oleg sold off to Gajin to go work for ED as independent and start a completely new game on the DCS engine  Europe  WWII?  Then pops up a page for dough and now every one is on the Oleg bus.... I would of had something in the contract ... like_ Mr. Maddox cannot participate in the design of any WWII flight simulation games for 3-5 years_.....Oh the Irony   :lol .....So the page has been up 8 days and he is 3/4 to the goal of 100k. .... ?
Meanwhile BoS does the same sort of thing with the pre order deal.

Why don't you do something like that HT? Go make web page,  get a 16core Game Wonder Monster Plus Puter with 24 graphic cards all tied together that can handle absolutely everything when you your self program the sucker to UltraMaxMaximumUltra ... to its peak Peakiest ....make a small trailer film, explain how long and why you have been doing this and that your the King <that likes New Zealand lamb> of flight sims and your plan to blow your competitors = DCS BoS WT> right out of their skivvies  ..  :O  right?... Don't worry if we can play it..Then say you need 1/2 mil to start on your next venture AHMilinium :D Waalaa

Have Skuzzy handle the Developer Diary.... Just leave your plans in the "John" he'll find them looking for something to Tweet :D

"IL2 BoS is going to be somewhere in between DCS WWII: Europe 1944 and War Thunder - it is going to be more realistic than WT but less realistic than DCS."         

There goes the hardcore arena idea.... 

Geez 3 new games out where does AH3 fit in .... :headscratch:.... the only MMO combat flight simulator left ?
Okay..Add 2 Country's at once, Australia and France next plane update Add ...CAC Boomerang and the Dewoitine D.520

I took your question to one of deep scepticism expectant of no worthy answer forthcoming. If I am wrong then I accept that.
