  • 3D object designing software.?

    I am looking for a software to design aircraft wings that will allow me to print the shapes of the ribs, and spars so that I can assemble them out of paper.

    If you have seen Luca Iaconi-Stewart's work on the Boeing 777 made out of manila folders, you will get some idea as to what I am looking for. He uses Adobe Illustrator and I am not sure if that's what he uses to design, or just transfer his design to illustrator to make the shapes printable.

  • Depressed with Aspergers and need to talk to somebody!?

    For starters I've always been a little depressed here and there. This year is a nightmare. I want to make this short.

    I've got allot in my life going against me and trying to remain positive seems like a joke to me. I've been wanting to see a counselor about this but can't due to no money or healthcare. Because of this it pisses me off. I've got nobody who wants to help in the way I need. Only to tell me its all in my head when its not.

  • Helicopter pilot career, I am poor.?

    I want to fly helicopters as a career. Every student loan option I see won't let me due to no credit, lack of pay, or parents can't Co-borrow. I really am not looking to join the military. I am stuck and not sure what to do about this. I contemplate paying out of pocket but it's just not economical.

  • Pursuing a career related to rotorcraft flying. What is your advice.?

    Since 7th grade I've wanted to fly helicopters. I also wanted to become an aerospace engineer, but sitting at a desk isn't what I plan to do. I am 22. I'm having a hard time trying to decide what I want my career to be. I've wanted to join the military but in some ways it doesn't seem like a good decision for me, but in other ways it may seem perfect. I am planing to move away from home so I can go to school. I just want to make sure that where I move benefits my career goals. I don't have much guidance in my life right now. Any advice for really digging deep to find what it is I want to do in life? I know some careers for helicopter pilots are not the best paying, but that's what it takes to become successful.

  • What things should I do when I go to court regarding trespass? More info below.?

    I am going to court regarding a "Return to property" citation I revived. This was due to a trespass warning I revived the month before for being in a company parking lot. The lot was not labeled or warned of trespass. The officer said he had issues with me before on the property even though he has never stopped me in that exact location before. The only other times I have had run ins with this officer where in locations over a mile away and in only 2 spots. Two weeks after the same officer came up to me in a different location on a public access road where I was parked and where others are allowed to park. He stated he could arrest me but he wouldn't so he gave me a verbal warning. Then this time with the citation did not involve this officer. The property is not labeled, people just know of it as the area's dog park.

    I am fighting my rights as a photographer and for more than 300 others who also do what I do. But for some reason these other people go to the same locations I do and have no issues with the police that I do.

    I consider this major harassment, and also a mild form of emotional distress due to how it makes me feel un-welcome to do the harmless hobby it is that I do. I want advice for notes I should take, things I should know, statutes, law requirements, and anything that I might know that can help me win this case.

  • Trying to get my life on a better road, but its looking impossible.?

    I live at home I am 21. I have many dreams, some I know will not come true but others could if I could just know what to do. I cannot find a job that pays enough to save a dime. My family leeches off of me even though I partially fee obligated for what they do to me but then I just think its denial. I think its my family partially to blame for me not getting to a better place. I am not trying to put the blame on others. I try to become independent to show living one my own is possible. I really want to go to school for engineering and I know every day I spend thinking about it I waste when I could do something about it. What I really need is a guide pointing me in the right direction. Please give me some support on what I should do in my situation. I am tired of letting my life slip me by.

  • What upgrades will help Lightroom 5 run faster?

    I have a home build computer.

    AMD A10-6800K

    1TB HDD

    8GB XMS3 ram

    GTX760

    Now obviously I know my CPU isn't the best in this case to in the future I will replace it. As for now I am planning to add more ram, a 120GB PCIe flash, and a SSD as well.

    Please let me know what you think will help me. To describe what I want to improve is the editing smoothness, it glitches when adjusting some of the basic edits after I've done a few edits. It sound more and more like cpu speed is my problem. Its really hard to edit a photo well with out it glitching. My read and write speeds are fine. I also emptied my catalog with only folders I know I will be editing. Thanks

  • What graphics card would best fit my needs?

    The 2 games I currently play are FS2004 (Because FSX is too demanding on a budget computer) and War Thunder.

    I also like to make videos in 1920-1080 60p AVCHD

    My system specifics:

    AMD A10-6800K 4.1 Ghz

    Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 Motherboard

    OS Windows 7

    I was originally hoping to get the GTX760 but not too sure that will be possible.

    I am not too sure what difference a 2GB DDR3 or 2GB DDR5 graphics will have. There are allot of cards available for under $100 and I have no preference between Nvidia or AMD. Thanks for any ideas!

  • How do I improve my computer graphics performance?

    I just built my first computer. The specifics are:

    AMD A10-6800K with AMD Radeon 8670D Dedicated Graphics

    Gigabyte GA-FA88X-UP4 Mother Board

    Corsair XMS 8GB Ram

    I am at a loss, I recently returned a desktop the Asus M11BB with the A10-6700.

    I am using the game War Thunder as an example because my Flight Simulator fps fluctuates too much to use as an example.

    First off I know War Thunder is demanding on graphics, but where my problem lays is that the computer I returned ran WT better than my home built one does. I use to get 15-25fps, now on the menu screen I get only 16FPS. I have the graphics settings on the game where I had them on the ASUS.

    I just spent the entire morning updating windows and all my drivers, and I also made sure my AMD catalyst was up to date. The only difference between the two computers that I think might play a roll is my home built runs off of Win7. The ASUS ran off of Win8. I chose 7 because I was having far to many issues with it. I am also told by many to just stay away.

    I'm not sure what next to do because even my integrated graphics in my APU is the same so I am at a loss to understand why it is not running as well as the ASUS. But just to support my new desktop I have a .4Ghz advantage over the ASUS which make my confusion even worse.

    Not too sure what my next step is so I hope I can get some help. I appreciate any thoughts!

If I click the video it play jittery again. Not quite sure what is going on here. I just built this computer yesterday and not sure if I am missing a driver.

  • Few problems with Windows 8?

    For one, I need to update my new computer to Win 8.1 to fix the bugs I have with my game Flight Simulator 2004. Yes I am aware of FSX and I am not fond of how demanding it is on computers.

    My problem is when I click on the windows upgrade in the metro it does nothing, I am also unable to download updates and software from websites that require internet access to run, even though I do have internet connection. I just got over the issue of Windows store not opening up due to not being logged in. Please help, this is really frustrating.

  • Are these real issues? 21 and a virgin.?

    I have never had sex nor have I ever kissed or gotten close to a girl. It wasn't because i didn't want to but i felt the things in my life inhibit me from meeting a girl or wanting to take it any further. I live with my mother and my 9 year old sister. So I never want to show a girl where I live. I am almost 21 and not sure exactly where to meet girls. My work is a sausage fest because its nothing but aircraft mechanics. 2 years ago i also had a bad depression because of these same issues. Before then I had much more confidence and now I feel I lost allot of it. Trust me, it's not all about sex but we are human and its a big part of our lives. I wish girls would just give me a chance, and maybe I will also give them one. Please let me know what you think could help me. I have been in this mental hole for a long time now.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Aspergers, how do I make sure my coworkers understand me?

    I recently, well just today got my badge to start working as a contractor at an airline hanger doing small maintenance on the aircraft. I have an uncontrollable desire to explore every area of the aircraft as I can, and see what I want to see. I want to look at things from a certain perspective. I am unsure how to convey how enthusiastic I am about aircraft to people who see them on a day to day basis. Most of the time there interest is gone. Mine never fades, because the more I learn and know, the more in depth I want to go.

    Tomorrow I start my first day of training, but I have 2 hours to see the job and watch how they are working. I want to spend this time slowly satisfying my curiosity so when I do start my work that I don't get distracted so easily. Even though I still will, it won't be as bad. I don't want to make a bad impression on these guys and mechanics and in an industry like aviation, it is very easy to do so.

  • No Internet Access When Watching YouTube Videos?

    When ever I try an watch a YouTube video, the video stops loading, then my internet says, "No internet access". I have Comcast and from what I hear many others who do have this same problem. Even if my computer hibernates, I end up having to restart because my internet will not stay on. To stop that I inhibited my computer from falling asleep. I also hear that when people try to call Comcast, they blame the issue on either the modem, or the computer. I am tired of it, I wish I could call and yell but nothing will be done. They really need to fix it, I am not paying for internet that doesn't dang work!

  • What specifically happens to air flowing over a wing?

    I am wondering what happens to air over a wing, for some odd reason I can't figure it out because everything else I look up says otherwise.

    I know air flowing over a lifting wing accelerates due to the slope created by AOA, and thus causes the air pressure to lower. But my question is, does the air temperature over a wing change, does the air expand or compress. I know the air compresses at the leading edge, but air must expand when its pressure is forced to lower right?
