Man I need something besides a cup of coffee after reading their website. I thought you just pulled the trigger and the bullet shot out! Beyond my old mind on this one. 6 degrees of freedom?

This is what impressed me the most
Now I know why I went to school and had all those math, Algebra, Trig, Quantum Physics classes to become a Mechanical & Computer Engineer. It was so I could read "Dispersion and Friction Measurements"!
Quantum Physics and Black Holes kick my butt....last time I took a summer science and engineering class

I'm not a physimacist so I just go shoot bullets and when they go where I aim, and the game dies instantly, or within sight. I call it good.
@Coyote Shadow Tracker what version FORTRAN did you start out with
Fixed Layout Punch Cards
Started in the early days!
FORTRAN 77 when I got out of The Marines.
Been out of writing code for a long time. went a different route into Safety Engineering. Wish I would have stayed in Computer or Mechanical Engineering, but most likely would not be on this Forum now. due to a different life. Computers are fun but Mechanical you get to actually build physical "THINGS".
When you worked on IV was it really "66" and called IV? What year did you work on it? Just to get an idea.
I worked on some Government, but still classified.
It was 1980, small college in Denver, remember buying the "FORTRAN" coding paper, then punching the cards and drawing a diagonal line on the edge. We turn them in by Friday, school turned them in to the State or maybe State University in Denver and got results back on Monday. We were told it was FORTRAN IV. Back then you had FORTRAN, COBOL and some version of BASIC if I recall. Diefferent School we had FORTRAN 77 (UCSD version?) in early 90's and yet another school, FORTRAN 95 (Windows version) later.
First degree Electrical, MS in Petroleum, saw all the garden spots, winter in ND and Siberia, summer in Arabian, Saharan and Gobi Deserts. I wouldn't change a thing.
