if you take the size of a man, and draw a circle in scale with the earth/human size you will get a completly different cone and LOS....

Of course its flat. Round earth?
Are you nuts.
If the earth was round we would all fall off
It stands to reason.
You have had some pretty wierd theories
But a round earth is just whacky thinking.

Flat? What nonsense! Everybody knows the earth is round ... just like a pancake!

you may ponder stupid to question weather the earth is flat or not

i have a question for you

why in the 100% of these pictures the sun is always in the zenith(always in the vertical of the photographer) so the earth never has a self shadow

http://www.google.es/search?q=space+...ed=0CBoQ_AUoAQ

isnt it too much of a coincidence the 100% of pictures the sun always in the zenith, always one in a million

maybe this throws light on it




no selfshadow on that fake earth either

so dont think me stupid for thinking we are lied about this planet and earth radius being 600 km after having measured it myself

I measured it Raaaid, and it was 6371KM. And I used a milli-metre ruler. So I think you may need to run your calculations again.

There's these things called night and day.. during the day you can see, and take photographs that everyone else can see

At night time it's dark. Doesn't really make for good space walk shots.. look

Spacewalking at night..

of the thousands pictures provided on space walks earth never appears with a shadow like this:



that can only mean the sun always in the zenith(always one in a million) or fake pictures

this is a personal discovery only avalaible to fly simmers

Raaaid, I wonder if you miss this, forget this or what.

This is a development update posted by Oleg, in this update Oleg is showing the capabilities of of IL2COD graphic engine capturing in screenshots the ability of the engine in the reproduction of the earth.

From minus (close to ground) to max (close to space) :





















IL2COD earth is not flat, is just that the earth is to big for you notice his curve.

In fact you can do a space shuttle simulator with this
