I recall Flight Unlimited[1] made a big deal of their flight model which incorporated "real-time computational fluid dynamics". I'm not a pilot but I found it very compelling. It was groundbreaking for its time.
None of the rest of Looking Glass' flight sims used the first game's fluid dynamics model.

- cjbgkagh 4y agoI’m sure you could make a deep learning model approximation of the computational fluid dynamics that would be much computationally efficient. Allowing form more detail and or faster execution.
- dharmab 4y agoIf you care about computational efficiency, build a lookup table and cache it. Flight models generally deal with a known, bounded problem space rather than novel inputs.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoSure, if a lookup table works for your problem then use that. Im specifically talking about an optimization of CFD.
