Previously pilot models would stay visible when the
walker was active. Which is a bit unrealistic given
the walker is supposed to be "you" in some way.
So now the internal pilot is hidden when the walker
is active outside the aircraft.

Previously props.condition threw an error if any of the
properties in the condition were not defines. This is
contrary to the behaviour of SGCondition, which it seeks
to emulate, which considers such undefined properties as
having the value 0.0.
Now this is the case.
This function only appears to be used by tutorials.nas,
where this behaviour was seen as discrepancy between
the checklist <condition> behaviour and the tutorial
<condition> behaviour.

Has a note saying 'May need restart to take affect' because it seems that
shadows never work unless enabled on startup. Note that the property setting is
persisted.
Canvas displays stop working with a technique index of 1000. There is no apparent reason for this, but changing it to 0 or a lower value fixes the issue. There doesn't seem to be any negative consequences from doing this.
- Remove all Compositor Effects and Shaders.
- Unify the low-spec and ALS pipelines in a single pipeline called 'Classic'.
- Readd shadow mapping.
- Move the WS30 Effect and fragment shader out of the Compositor-specific directories.
Use (!passive) instead of (passive == 0), so that passive == nil is treated as
0.
E.g. this allows keyboard control of autopilot target speed, heading and
altitude in harrier-gr3.
This change automatically changes the view direction to look
at a <marker> if any is defined for a checklist item or tutorial
step.
Both the tutorial and checklist features support a <marker> element
which can be used by an aircraft developer to display a magenta
circle around an item of interest (typically a control in the
cockpit).
Previously aircraft developers had to add a <view> element to move
the viewpoint to look at the marker, while users of checklists had
to look for the marker manually.
Now:
- For checklists, pressing the "?" button on a checklist will pan the viewpoint
to the marker.
- For tutorials, if there is not a <view> element defined for a
tutorial step, the view will automatically pan to the marker.
the partition processor can now either process a certain number of items per frame, or spend a certain amount of time processing items.
The two options work together - so typically you'd pick a sensible amount of items to process per frame and then maybe also set a maximum amount of time per frame to be sure.
Using the time limit option will take slightly more CPU - but can still be a net benefit
Materials changes version 2 - Iceland and California
1. Keep regional definitions for the new default airport BIKF, and Iceland. Uses
new grass colours texture airport-grass-summer3.png with custom autumn effect i
n alpha channel, and bare volcanic bare ground layer - to produce patchy grass a
nd blend in with surrounding landclasses. 3d grass overlays have height modulati
on turned on so grass patches are followed. Actual grass cover and colour at BIK
F varies a lot even for the same month in different years going by photos, needs
autumn effect to depict the range properly. The grass near the terminal areas s
eems to receive a more water while the rest is often quite bare in photos - the
current patchy-ness is a compromise. The texture for low settings is still autum
n-grass-summer2.png.
2. Keep regional definitions for KSFO and California. Switches to grass effect s
o 3d grass is enabled. Grass layer and patchy bare ground layer format with heig
ht modulation for 3d grass. Currently tuned to hints of dry green grass similar
to the old version.
