There’s a limit to how you can optimize disk consumption. At some point, the devs will have to consider an overall strategy to reduce the footprint - but that already has unintended effects - take for example assets that the devs assumed everyone would install (bundled inside one of the airports) to reuse elsewhere in the sim, but then some folks didn’t install said airfield - resulting in graphical glitches. The reality though is with a ten year project - there’s only more content coming, not less. If you’re like me and operating at around 70-80 GB for the Packages total, you’re doing just fine. The objective is to keep the total Packages sizes smaller than the base game install - which is a 115 GB or so. There are work-arounds like Add-On Linkers and such, but my installation of mods is very lean compared to others, making such tools really more of a hassle than useful. ![]() Same thing goes for the Community folder - since you can’t exempt it from being co-located on the same logical partition as your Official Packages folder. So I keep them out.Īssertive pruning of Content is key - I don’t install: Bush Trips, Landing Challenges, aircraft that I will never fly (understanding that the base game which everyone has entitlement to has a/c you cannot remove), and even certain handcrafted airports that are just disk hogs that I won’t frequent. Things like landing challenges, other activities, and other aircraft are a lot of the stuff that I don’t need. That way I keep my installation as compact and as light as possible. I only open the package, and install the airport that I want to fly out of / in to, then once I’m done, I remove them again. That’s what I do, I have all the world updates claimed, but I never install them. Just install the one you need for your most common upcoming flights, and remove the ones you don’t need. Then when you come back to the Content manager, you don’t need to install everything. And that would be your most compact installation size. Then install MSFS again, at this point, it should be installed with the miminum size requirement without any of the junk legacy files still attached. Then uninstall the entire game, make sure that’s it’s really cleared and the storage space is reclaimed. Make sure you’re online and let it sync with your online account. Leaving only the mandatory content that you can’t remove. I guess a good clean up process is, using the content manager, uninstall everything that you can uninstall. And I haven’t even purchased many add-ons yet, what if I started doing that? I wonder if the developers are aware of this and make optimizations in this field as well. ![]() I mean, this growth cannot be sustained for years and years to come. The sim takes up roughly double of what it did when it was released on Xbox about a year ago. Now, I don’t really know what the long term plan is here. And this is before any more games are installed at all. We will slowly reach a point where Flight Simulator will simply not fit on it. Just think of the Xbox Series S users who barely have 300-400 GB free space on their console. It’s nice that the developers push content out like a conveyor belt but this pace is unsustainable. But more importantly, I feel the simulator just grows and eats up my SSD over time. The only thing I’d really keep is the handcrafted airports – I don’t need the discovery flights, the landing challenges or even the points of interest, even though they truly are beautiful. Firstly, I wish the World Updates could be partially uninstalled. I think this is getting out of hand at this point. ![]() We’re talking about so many gigabytes that could even house complete games, and that’s just the reserved space! What, in a year it’s going to be 100+ GB in itself? A few weeks or months ago it was at around the 77 GB mark. I also noticed that the “reserved space” slowly but surely grows over time. Now, even if I chose to uninstall every World Update, my simulator would still take up 224,89 GB. My rolling cache (which, I would assume, is part of the “reserved space”) is set to 16 GB and I reset it after every update. Other than that, the only third-party add-ons I have is the HondaJet, the Halo Pelican and a few livery packs, which take up around 1,3 GB in all, at the most. ![]() I have all World Updates installed, which, according to my content manager, take up 47,01 GB in all.

![]() The effect of a polarizer is to transmit light that is polarized in the same direction as that of the polarizer, and to block (absorb or reflect) light that is polarized at right angles to the direction of the polarizer. is normalized such that: p11 p11 pd11 1 where d element of solid angle 4. Then the term,, is the phase function or scattering diagram which defines the probability for scattering of unpolarized incident light in any direction. The orientation of the lines is referred to as the polarization direction of the polarizer. For our purpose here, lets consider the total intensity of the radiation whether polarized or not. When unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer, the intensity of transmitted light from the polarizer reduces to one-half of the incident light. The unpolarized light is considered to be composed of two linear and orthogonal polarization states with complete incoherence. (12.3.6) (12.3.6) P ( cos 2 cos sin cos sin. The unpolarized light is represented in figure- 1(a). For example, a perfect polarizer with an axis at an angle from the 1 axis can be represented by. Schematically, one typically depicts a polarizer by means of a rectangle or a circle filled with parallel line segments. The effects of wave plates and polarizers and the like can be summarized by multiplication of the Z Z vector by 2×2 matrices. In other words, one causes the light to be normally incident upon the polarizer. I PAee P 4 2 Analyzing the above equation, we can see that light intensity diminishes with the square of the distance from the source. In use, one typically causes light to travel toward a polarizer along a direction that is perpendicular to the polarizer. A sample of such a flat sheet is called a polarizer. \) clockwise from the vertical is, however, unambiguously:Ī plastic material is manufactured in the form of flat sheets that polarize light that travels through them. Stokes parameters The coherency matrix is not easy to visualize, and it is therefore common to describe incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity ( I ), (fractional) degree of polarization ( p ), and the shape parameters of the polarization ellipse. ![]() This signal indicates that the ball is in play and that the players can continue to compete. The position of the thumb next to the index finger indicates that the ball is in play. The referee will extend their arm with their hand open toward the court and point 45 degrees away from their body near the intersection of the attack line and sideline. One of the most common hand signals is used to indicate that the ball is in play. When Ball Is In PlayĪ referee will use hand signals to communicate with players and other officials when the ball is in play. When making this signal, always keep this in mind so that the players know what is happening on the court. It’s essential to avoid making the signal look like the catch signal, as this could confuse. The arm is bent less at the elbow, then extended with the palm up. The improper service signal starts at the thigh. This occurs when the server doesn’t execute the service properly, for instance, by failing to hit the ball over the net. Volleyball referees use specific hand signals to indicate penalties. By using a one-handed signal, the referee can ensure that the players can still understand the call. This is used to indicate to the players that there is a delay in the service. The hand signal for the delay in service is raising both arms above your head. This is because these players are less likely to be familiar with the standard hand signals used by referees. The one-handed signal is used for game delays in matches involving players aged 14 and under. By using the same digits on each hand, the referee can ensure that the players are aware of the infraction regardless of which side of the court they are on. This hand signal indicates that the server has not touched the ball within eight seconds, causing a delay in play. According to USA official volleyball, the Volleyball hand signals are shown when Delay in Service This hand signal lets everyone know that it’s about to be their turn to serve. Once the whistle is blown, the arm should be brought to the opposite chest. It is crucial that the palm is facing forward and that the whistle is blown before the signal is made. This is the most crucial signal for volleyball referees, as it starts each rally. In the USA, the first referee in a Volleyball game officially uses the beckon for serve signal to start each rally. So, let’s look at some of the most important hand signals for volleyball referees! The Most Used Volleyball Hand Signal They are designed to clear up any confusion and provide a guide to the most common hand signals used in volleyball. There are a lot of hand signals that referees use to indicate plays and calls. Learning the correct volleyball referee signals will help you play better and ensure that games are officiated correctly. This blog post will take a closer look at some of the most common referee signals in volleyball. Knowing what these signals mean can help you comply with the rules and avoid costly penalties. Volleyball referees use a variety of hand signals to communicate with players and coaches on the court. ![]() Once an individual files and serves their motion on the other party, the court will most likely provide the other party with the opportunity to respond to the motion.

Both of these pressure washers are very similar in their look, feel, and design. When it comes to electric pressure washers, Ryobi and Greenworks are two stellar options. Greenworks does have a good warranty, but it is no fun to have to go through a warranty process, no matter how good it is. One of the biggest frustrations is the apparent motor issue, which causes the motor to cut out or die after just a few hours of use. Users say the Greenworks pressure washers are good while they last. Image Credit: Media Whalestock, Shutterstock The Bad People have also praised the unit’s superiority to gas in both its maintenance and its noise level. Many users have reported using their units for months, from everything from sidewalks to pool decks, with many glowing stories about its performance. Some of the quirks mentioned, like the engine start delay, are easily overlooked while in the middle of a job. It gets jobs done quickly and offers a lot of power for a great price. Users love the Greenworks performance at home. What the Users Say About Greenworks The Good This unit has also been certified by the Pressure Washer Manufacturers’ Association (PWMA) for quality. The good news is that this model comes with a three-year limited tool and ten-year brushless motor warranty. Some users have reported motors that fail after just a couple of hours of use which can be frustrating. The other issue seems to be a quality control issue with the motor. That doesn’t sound like much, but the electric motor cuts out every time you cease using the gun, meaning if you start and stop a lot, you are going to have many five second pauses to contend with. ![]() The first issue is that there is a five second delay in the motor when you go to fire up the washer.

The Greenworks PRO 2300 PSI TruBrushless Electric Pressure Washer comes with four nozzles, a 25-foot hose, and a sprayer wand with an ergonomic grip handle. Jet flow ensures that more water gets flowing through your hoses faster, with up to 50% more volume and speed, which more than makes up for the lower PSI rating. While the overall pressure is lower than its Ryobi counterpart, the Greenworks PRO 2300 PSI TruBrushless Electric Pressure Washer is powered by modern jet flow technology. This unit is affordable and easy to use, and it offers some unique upgrades in technology over older products. The Greenworks PRO 2300 PSI TruBrushless Electric Pressure Washer is an excellent entry level pressure washer for homeowners of all kinds. Some users have reported failing to reach the advertised 2700 PSI, which could have to do with water pressure or the electric engine. The other issue has to do with drops in power during use. It protrudes forward and isn’t as stacked as competing units. There are only a couple of downsides to choosing the Ryobi 2700 PSI Electric Pressure Washer. It also ships with a plethora of useful nozzles that are easy to connect and disconnect on the fly. There is even a convenient, separate detergent tank that makes adding cleaners and bleach easier than ever, which helps up your overall cleaning power. That is handy because the design of this unit is a little bulky and cumbersome though it only weighs 40 lbs.

Say what you will about how much of a commodity camera those Canons are, they at least feel solid and perform their basic intended function. The first hint that it's not a PowerShot is when you pick it up. Inside, the camera was packed in a bubble wrap sleeve, and it included a micro-USB cable for some reason and photocopied instructions. This was really the box the camera came in. I say "whoever" because the instruction manual provided no clue as to the provenance of the camera, nor did the minimalist packaging that the camera came in: And it's clear whoever the manufacturer of this camera is channeling that nostalgia. ![]() They were the cameras that documented many a childhood vacation, wedding or family gathering. Most people I showed the gold Camera brand camera instantly recalled the Canon PowerShots of old: boxy, deck-of-cards sized cameras that were ubiquitous in the mid- to late-2000s. For the purposes of this review, I'm going to call it the Camera brand camera since that’s what's prominently written on the front of what could loosely be described as a camera. Who knows? It all appears to be the same camera sold under different names without changes to the body at all. It could also be the Acuvar 16MP Megapixel Compact Digital Photo and Video Camera or perhaps it's the EMVANV HD Digital Camera or maybe even the 01 Digital Camera Recorder, Vlogging Camera. At least that's what I think it's called. There were several no-name cameras that were in the $100 and under mark, but I set my sights on the bottom of the barrel, the $21.64 Yosoo Health Gear Digital Camera, Compact vlogging Camera. My criterion was that it couldn't be a camera designed for kids. In fact, it wasn’t until 10 listings down that I spotted a Nikon D3200. Surprisingly, most of the listings that came up were not from any major brands, or any identifiable brand at all. To answer that question, I headed over to and typed in "Digital Camera" into the search box. ![]() ![]() His blades won't have the distinctive flashy hollow grinds of Peter Lyon's work, but he's capable of any number of degrees of exact accuracy or personal interpretation, and he makes lively, durable, resilient cutting tools.

The finish is medium length, sweet and slightly peppery. On the palate, the whisky is very smooth, even more so than Crown Royal’s characteristic smoothness, featuring notes of caramel, cinnamon, dried fruit, with hints of apricot and peach, along with a slight bitter note. On the nose, the whisky features intense caramel notes, along with aromas of vanilla, some spice, especially cinnamon, and the floral and fruity flavors that Crown Royal is known for. “We are always looking for ways to experiment with the brand’s flavor profile and with Crown Royal Noble Collection French Oak Cask Finished, it is evident how intentional changes in barrel selection and ageing can enhance the flavor while elevating the signature smoothness of Crown Royal Fine De Luxe.”Ĭrown Royal Noble Collection French Oak Cask Finished, NAS, 40% ABV, 750 ml, average retail price $60Ĭrown Royal’s French Oak Cask Finished whisky carries no age statement but is believed to be an average of five years old.
