![]() all intermediate files can be visualied with GIS tools ( request from martin ).all vector data will be draped over the terrain - although we may still cut in some smoothing polys * airports will be draped over a smoothed terrain within the airport boundaries ( changing airport layout will not require new tg-construct run unless boundary is changed ).I 'started from scratch' with a couple assumptions:.But when trying to simplify these tiles, large holes get generated as the mesh is non manifold. I couldn't get any library to succeed for more than a few hundred tiles. This was necessary, as triangulating the whole tile with OSM roads cut-in was very unstable. This exposed a major weakness in the toolchain used for ws2.0 - It triangulated landclass polys individually instead of whole tile at a time. It's been a year since I started working on LOD ( using Mathias'.This allows us to draw an entire tile (other than linear road / rail / stream ) in one openGL draw call.Ī brief status update on what I am currently doing on the master branch: It would be nice to have all landclass images and this single per tile image to all have the same resolution, so we could use a texture array. probably 8 bits for landclass, and 8 bits for region is enough. We could also encode regional definitions into the same raster image to support irregular shaped region encoding. If we have a per tile raster image with the landclasses encoded, then the borders between landclasses can be smoothed / modified by the shaders. The second idea is to use multiple tcs to allow landclass shaders to know where in a tile they are located. The btg format should be expanded to allow vertex indices (of a triagle) to have attributes. In openGL, a vertex attribute would be passed to the shader to relay the information. To do this, he needs to know where in the runway polygon, the thresholds are. i4dnf would also like to add dirty / tire marks to the runways. 1 primary set to look up the line texture in the texture atlas, and another set relative to the origin of the pavement. BTG file needs to support multiple texture coordinates. The marking shader needs to know the underlying pavement origin. and bump mapping / dirtying effects cannot be normalized between the line and pavement - leading to visual artifacts. We have this somewhat working now, but the pavement shader is completely clueless about the marking shader. The first idea is separating the runway markings from the pavement. btg file format is extensible, so this may not require major changes and 'could' be backward compatible. As we move to a new scenery structure, that may not be 100% backward compatible, we should be able to add some additional capabilities to the. SPT files expect.Īfter conversing with i4dnf, some extra ideas have come up to fix some of the long standing scenery issues. The output directory needs to match what simgear. The Work directory structure will be overhauled to handle arbitrary tile sizes. In the terragear toolchain, there are 3 main directories: Data, Work, and Output. The lowest detail level being a sphere with a global texture. Optional fourth level and more LODs would be refinements to the third - lower res mesh, and more landclass combining) ![]() possibly combining a small area landclass with it's neighbor. To be determined, is how to simplify the landclass polygons. The third level of detail is a simplified mesh, with simplified airports (no bezier interpolation) created as landclass polys (runway, taxiway, and grass). Airports are still smoothed, and cut in to the terrain. The second level of detail maintains the same elevation mesh, but removes line data from both airports and terrain. The highest detail level being identical to WS2.0. Ideally, we would like to have at least 4 levels of detail. So our job, is to update the tools to be able to generate the scenery automatically. ![]() The good news is, this new system is already in simgear (thanks to Mathias), and has been tested with 'hand stitched'. Although WS2.0 will continue to receive updates, and bug fixes, I'd like to start planning for the next major overhaul.įor World Scenery 3.0, flightgear will have a LOD system for the underlying mesh. After 2 1/2 years of development, the tool-chain is considered stable. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() He played in seven games as a backup guard. On June 16, 1999, he signed as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers. Despite playing in the trenches, Newton was one of the more colorful players in Cowboys history. He was a very powerful player and was known from some great confrontations against Reggie White among other great players. He was one of the best guards in the NFL for over a decade. His ability to protect quarterback Troy Aikman and to run-block for running back Emmitt Smith helped the Cowboys win 3 Super Bowls in 1992, 1993, and 1995. He was not re-signed by the Cowboys after his contract expired at the end of the 1998 season. He is tied with Rayfield Wright and John Niland for six appearances each. Only Larry Allen (10) has been to more Pro Bowls with the Cowboys on the offensive line. Newton was a six-time Pro Bowler, attending the game from 1992 through 1996 and once again in 1998. From 1992 to 1995, together with Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei, Mark Stepnoski, John Gesek and Kevin Gogan, he was part of some of the best offensive lines to play in NFL history, known as “The Great Wall of Dallas”. In 1992, because of the improved play of Erik Williams, he was moved back to left guard, in order for the team to have the best player combination possible in the offensive line. Jimmy Johnson became the Cowboys coach in 1989 and eventually moved him to the starting right tackle position and forced him to get into better shape after Johnson beat him in a running race. Even though he became a starter at left guard in 1987, his struggles to maintain his playing weight almost cost him being waived. He started out as a reserve offensive lineman, and was nicknamed "the Kitchen" because he was bigger than William "The Refrigerator" Perry, of Chicago Bears fame. In 1986, Newton signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys after the USFL folded. He played there for two years (19) as an offensive tackle, under head coach Steve Spurrier. In February 1984, he signed with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the defunct United States Football League, who drafted him in 1983, in what the USFL called a Territorial Draft. On August 29, 1983, he was waived and was injured in a serious car accident on the same night he was cut. Professional career Washington Redskins Īlthough he was selected by the Tampa Bay Bandits in the 1983 USFL Territorial Draft, he opted to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Redskins in May. In 2022, he was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame. ![]() In 1994, he was inducted into the Florida A&M University Sports Hall of Fame. As a senior, he received All-MEAC honors playing at right tackle. As a junior, he was moved to the offense full-time. As a sophomore, he played in both the offensive and defensive line. In football he played as a fullback until his junior year, when he outgrew the position and was moved to the defensive line.Īlthough he had Division I colleges recruiting him, he chose to remain close to home and accepted a football scholarship from Florida A&M University. Newton attended Jones High School where he played football, basketball, wrestling and shot put. He played college football for the Florida A&M Rattlers. He also was a member of the Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League (USFL). Nathaniel Newton (born December 20, 1961) is an American former professional football player who was a guard in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers. 3× Super Bowl champion ( XXVII, XXVIII, XXX).* Offseason and/or practice squad member only ![]() ![]() ![]() Questions that seek information not relevant to the case at hand can also be ruled to be palpably improper or irrelevant. Similarly, in another sexual assault case where the victim-plaintiff claimed that the incident adversely affected her sexual relations with her husband, the Appellate Division, Third Department, held that the plaintiff did not have to answer any questions about her sexual history prior to her marriage to her husband.9 The court ruled this way because of the burden it would place upon the victim-plaintiff and the fact that the plaintiff's claims of sexual dysfunction were confined only to her marital relationship and not previous ones. One such example would be asking a rape victim to identify her prior sexual partners as well as the positions which she performed during those encounters.8 It is extremely difficult to prove the heavy burden normally associated with improper questions and only some of the most extraordinarily improper questions reach this burden. ![]() Further, a review of the plaintiff's deposition transcript revealed that the plaintiff had answered all other fact-based questions regarding his lost wages.7 The second question the plaintiff properly objected to was whether he had a "calculation as to any lost wages that would claim as a result of this incident."6 The court stated that answering this question would be improper because it primarily sought a legal conclusion. ![]() The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, ruled this question objectionable on the grounds that it compelled plaintiff to answer questions seeking legal and factual conclusions or draw inferences from the facts. ![]() The first question concerned whether the defendant supplied any defective, unsafe or improper devices or materials which caused the plaintiff's fall or whether the work area appeared to be unreasonably dangerous. Hoang,5 a case in which the plaintiff fell from a ladder while removing a light fixture, the plaintiff properly refused However, "iven the liberal nature of discovery, the burden is high to establish that a discovery question is palpably irrelevant or grossly improper or burdensome."4 Some questions that are considered palpably improper or irrelevant are those that seek a conclusion of fact or law, are largely related to a party's understanding of their ultimate legal contentions, force a witness to draw inferences from the facts, or are grossly irrelevant or burdensome to the witness. The four categories reflect the well-settled "standard governing the appropriate scope of questioning at a deposition is not based on admissibility at trial, but on whether the questioning relates to the controversy and will assist in trial preparation."3 Palpably Improper Question These categories are (1) the palpably improper or irrelevant question (2) privileged communications (3) a defendant- physician's opinion of co-defendant's alleged medical malpractice and (4) the right against self-incrimination.2 In a personal injury action there are four main categories of questions which an attorney can instruct his client not to answer. An attorney shall not direct a deponent not to answer except as provided in CPLR Rule 3115 or this subdivision.1Īn objection under Section 221.2 must be clearly stated by the witness' counsel in order to preserve it in case of appeal. deponent shall answer all questions at a deposition, except (i) to preserve a privilege or right of confidentiality, (ii) to enforce a limitation set forth in an order of a court, or (iii) when the question is plainly improper and would, if answered, cause significant prejudice to any person. In 2006, however, 22 NYCRR §221.2 became effective and codified some of the objections that had arisen under the previous statute. Historically, CPLR §3115 has governed the process by which attorneys have objected to questions during an examination before trial. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Static QR Codes find a lot of use in instances where either the information need not be updated or for a one-off campaign. It can store information that is uneditable. What is a static QR Code?Ī static QR Code is a QR Code that, once generated, cannot be overwritten. Moreover, static QR Codes take longer to scan as compared to dynamic QR Codes. Whereas dynamic QR Codes offer you the flexibility to edit QR Code content as many times as required, are trackable, and can let you retarget people online on Facebook and Google. Static QR Codes cannot be edited once created, are not trackable, and cannot be used for online retargeting. What is the difference between a static and dynamic QR Code? ![]() ![]() You will get an installation error if the app is already installed with the same or higher version number. It’s also a great way to pre-installed apps that are generally used in your organization. Using PowerShell gives you much more control over which versions and apps are installed on your computers. Wrapping upĪs you can see you can download Microsoft Todo without store. Microsoft Todo should now be installed without the need for the store. Add-AppxPackage -Path "c:\temp\Microsoft.Todos_2.0_neutral_8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppxBundle" The last step is to install the Microsoft ToDo app with PowerShell. Step 4 – Use PowerShell to install the appxBundle Just click on the link itself doesn’t always work, but opening it in a new tab seems to do the trick. To download the appxbundle, copy the link and paste it into a new browser tab. Also, make sure you select the appxBundle and not the eappxBundle. Make sure you select the latest version, ignore the date column, just check the version number. Somewhere in the middle, you will find the appxBundles for the Microsoft ToDo app. Net Frameworks that are required for the app, but we can skip them.
