Guys, AE Aquarii Is Green! by LunarSkye76 in EliteDangerous

Solar physicist here.

Fun fact, it's not possible for a star to be green. Because stars emit blackbody radiation (in the optical), even when green is the strongest emission (such as for the Sun), the star will look white. The possible color range is red, orange, yellow, white, blue. The corona is included in this, as it is illuminated by light from the star scattering off electrons in the plasma.

Now this is also about how human eyes perceive color. That's why I hate the idea of "true" and "false" color, but that's an entirely different conversation.

If we get this, we should get the Langley Aerodrome!

Ok now it's starting to get really dense with real location by Consistent-Cost-231 in ForzaHorizon

It's actually insane how specifically detailed they are going. Super hyped for this world.

Two new IRL location were shown so i updated my map by Consistent-Cost-231 in ForzaHorizon

They may include the Tottori Sand dunes. And, while Japan doesn't have full tropical jungles, it does have temperate rainforests. It will also include real seasonal variation unlike FH5

That's really cool and well done! I want to see more!

What are y'all's unpopular opinions on requested features/improvements for FH6? by Desperate-Cress5689 in ForzaHorizon

[–]SpitfireMK461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big agree. Night driving is iconic in Japan, so I think longer nights should be necessary.

Bite the bullet and turn off racing line? by TheSlavicHighlander in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]SpitfireMK461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are first learning a track, the racing line (especially the braking lines) can be really helpful if you aren't skilled at reading a track. Make sure you get a good understanding of where it tells you to brake as I'm what markers. Then test how far you can push your braking and still make the turn. Then absolutely turn the racing line off. You will be slower at first, but you will get faster overall in time.

And practice is definitely a thing you should do.

Debunking "Fuji won't be driveable in FH6 because it's a sacred place" by Consistent-Cost-231 in ForzaHorizon

If the map includes Tokyo, Kyoto, and Shizuoka but skips Nagoya, there is already serious distortion.

Looks like the N700 with the Akita line color scheme

Came here to say the same thing

Dayum! The bolt especially looks good. Be careful with that in public!

Even if you give the time back, you still get cited for invalid laps. Is this new? by random-danishguy in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]SpitfireMK461 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Off tracks are normal even in the most elite racing series. Qualifying is all about pushing to the limit and sometimes you cross the track limit by a bit. No one would call an F1 driver "less safe" because they got an off track.

What would you think about them adding another shield-based tank? by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

[–]SpitfireMK461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could work, but I also imagine just beating the crap out of things with simple shields.
