    the hang up for me is more the not caring about time to compute

    aeroish is my experience, and for me those have all cared about time to compute

    generally that’s one of the biggest constraints to the point of being super strict

    like major money being spent on modeled approximations and processing speed costs eclipsing pretty much everything on the design side

    tables for weather, angles, altitude, position this would be tiny compared to some we’re using

    30 year old equipment is even more taxed given the likely feature creep in my experience

      I’m guessing you were doing in flight aero stuff? I’ve been more in the medical and manufacturing space but the aero I did we were doing post-flight processing for reports. We had almost no memory to operate on, probably because of all the tables you’re referencing that others were using.
