Harald JOHNSEN:

Changes
=======

New volumetric shadows for FlightGear.

There is now two new checkboxes in the rendering dialog to enable/disable shadows
for the user aircraft and for static scenery objects (ie those defined in the .stg files).
AI and random objects are not handled for the moment.


known bugs
==========
- ghost objects
