In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping is used
to add details to shading without using more
polygons.

When you measure your aircraft for RealFlight,
some measurements require that you have a
reference line running straight up and down. To
make such a line, we tie a weight to the free end of a
string, and let the weight dangle. Because the string
is then "plumb" (oriented straight up and down), it
is called a Plumb String.
particularly useful in measuring an aircraft's center
of gravity.
These maneuvers are very similar to a roll with the
exception of a hesitation at either 1/4 or 1/8 of the
roll.
A multiplayer session that is password protected by
