This is a formal request for discussion for a proposed new newsgroup:
sci.aeronautics.simulation
The newsgroup is proposed in response to a number of factors:
- The high degree of interest in simulation technology expressed in a variety
of newsgroups, including: sci.aeronautics, sci.military, rec.aviation,
rec.aviation.simulators, and comp.simulation. While most of this interest
is casual, the occasional technical post appears, in desperate search of
a home. This traffic is characterized by aerospace applications, rather
than the more general, academic material on comp.simulation.
- The high degree of technical interest in simulation technology, recently,
on sci.aeronautics. Which led the moderator, Mary Shafer, to suggest an
RFD.
- The fact that with modern microcomputers, the implementation of very
thorough, advanced flight models are both feasible and widely accessible.
Flight simulation technology is no longer the exclusive province of
government researchers or well-funded corporations. Simulation courses are
now part of the curricula of many undergraduate aerospace programs. Desktop
simulation is an emerging issue in aerospace, with a wide range of
applications, from aircraft design and evaluation to aircrew training.
- The need for a forum to coordinate the standardization of data formats.
Currently, most data formats are highly proprietary, and quite diverse.
Standards are under consideration, and such a forum could serve as a
sounding-board for RFC's and the like.
- Lastly, the very interesting potential for hybrid technology to develop,
with the combination of motivated people with CS backgrounds on the net,
combined with the knowledge and expertise of the many people from the
aerospace sector. Besides the specific topic--flight simulation--the
group is also of interest to those with EE and ME backgrounds, seeking
realistic, complex applications to test control theories.
Therefore, the simulation newsgroup is intended to address the issues per-
taining to atmospheric and low-orbital flight simulation. In particular,
the gamut of implementation issues, including algorithms, flight modeling,
parameter estimation, data gathering, and construction.
The group will explicitly NOT be concerned with issues relating to the
validation of retail software, nor the myriad user debates on retail
features. Two newsgroups, rec.aviation.simulators and comp.sys.mac.ibm.pc.
flight-sim provide adequate environments for this type of discussion.
Rec.aviation.simulators, moreover, provides a home for discussions relating
to the applicability of desktop simulators to general aviation flight
training.
Rather, the group is intended for those who wish to create simulators, both
research and commercial, and is intended to address the unique questions
that such implementors face. Hence the name choice of *simulation*, rather
than *simulators*: the technique, rather than examples.
How would this differ from sci.aeronautics? In general, the issue is one
of modeling: aeronautics is a broad discipline, primarily concerned with
physical processes. Simulation is concerned with the modeling of that reality,
using both actual flight-test data *and* estimated data. For the amateur
or poorly connected practitioner, the acquisition of such data and the use
of such data provide particularly stiff challenges. Especially inasmuch as
such data acquisition is not only concerned with aerodynamics, but can also
pertain to a considerable number of environmental factors--thus the problem
can be more complex than "regular" aerodynamics, where nature provides a very
high-fidelity physical environment.
Since, however, there is potential for overlap, the group is proposed as
moderated, with myself as moderator. The responsibility of the moderator
would be to work with the moderators of sci.aero and sci.aero.airliners, and
mainly keep things "on course," filtering out non-relevant messages and keep-
ing the flames to a minimum.
The discussion period will last for 30 days. At the end of this period,
depending upon response, a formal charter will be framed and a call-for-votes
issued.

This is a repeat RFD for sci.aeronautics.simulation. The original RFD was
issued in mid-February. User comments were uniformly positive. However,
an unstable machine and a dirty phone line precluded my pursuing the vote:
those problems have been rectified.
The following is an exact repeat of the original RFD. With David
Lawrence's approval, this RFD period will last ten days; it is mainly a
"refresher."

FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
moderated group sci.aeronautics.simulation
Newsgroups line:
sci.aeronautics.simulation Aerospace simulation technology. (Moderated)
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 29 Jun 1994.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting
questions only contact rdippold@qualcomm.com. For questions about the
proposed group contact Robert Dorsett <rdd@rascal.ics.utexas.edu>.
CHARTER
A moderated discussion group dealing with the implementation of flight and
systems models on computers. This includes, but is not restricted to:
- the definition of such models
- acquisition and modeling of flight parameters
- design and implementation of onboard systems models
- design and implementation of powerplant models
- standardization of commonly required data, such as flight
parameter databases, navaid databases, etc.
- design of cab-based implementations of flight simulators
The newsgroup will be moderated by Robert Dorsett, rdd@netcom.com.
The contact address will be aero-simulation@rascal.ics.utexas.edu,
requests to aero-simulation-request@rascal.ics.utexas.edu.
Notes
-----
There is a close relationship between this group and sci.aeronautics:
however, simulation requires more than simply implementing physical
equations, and this group will strive to address the specific issues
that implementors must face. The group is offered as moderated to
keep it on track, and to try to avoid thread mutation into topics that
might belong on other groups. It should also help stop commercial
direct-marketers, who post to inappropriate groups, selling everything
>from hand cream to visa applications.
I will work in concert with the moderators of sci.aeronautics (Mary
Shafer) and sci.aeronautics.airliners (Karl Swartz) to control the
topical focus of relevant articles.
What the group is not about
---------------------------
- Generic simulation issues (handled by comp.simulation)
- Validating games (rec.aviation.simulators, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim)
- Using flight games
History of the proposal
-----------------------
The RFD was issued in early February, after the moderator of
sci.aeronautics noted the high incidence of posts dealing with
simulation issues. I had also noticed a number of highly technical
queries appearing on rec.aviation.simulators, without any follow-ups.
The RFD produced a large number of very positive responses from people
active in all segments of the industry, ranging from the airframe
manufacturers to the simulator manufacturers to aerospace departments
to government researchers to game designers.
Due to a pesky phone line, the vote was delayed; after the problems
were fixed, a second RFD was issued in May, which similarly had a good
response.
HOW TO VOTE
Send MAIL to: voting@qualcomm.com
Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.
Your mail message should contain one of the following statements:
I vote YES on sci.aeronautics.simulation
I vote NO on sci.aeronautics.simulation
You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome.
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. The
votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge-
ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again.
It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.
One vote counted per person, no more than one per account. Addresses and
votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results list.
