"I've managed to fix this by differentiating rebuilding the 3D layers
(e.g. due to METAR updates) from rebuilding the entire environment (due to a
change in scenario)."
/me: property-browser.xml: drop a redundant line
Attached is yet another 3D clouds patch, to fix the following:
1) The 3D clouds were not modified by the cloud coverage, due to some problems with osg::Switch
2) METAR changes to cloud coverage were not obeyed.
3) Making changes via the Cloud dialog had no effect unless 3D clouds were toggled.
4) Cloud cover was too sparse.
5) 3D Stratus clouds caused performance issues on some hardware (fixed by removing 3D stratus from cloudlayers.xml - it will now be a 2D layer).
Reacting to a feature request, attached patch adds support for
parkpos selection in the "location on ground" dialog, and clears any
parkpos preset in the "airports" dialog.
- Removes the cloud type re-use code - I think they aren't worth the graphical artefacts that they cause in light of Tim's improvements
- Changes the transparency of the clouds. Previously, the clouds were transparent at 0m distance, opaque at 200m, then gradually more transparent to the fog limits. This meant they were generally quite transparent. Now, they are opaque from 200m to 15km, then become transparent at 20km. A side effect of this is that the current textures could probably benefit from being made slightly transparent to improve the blending of the sprites against each other.
- Replaces simple shader attributes with vectors (this was missed out of the last patch by mistake)
- Includes Yon's Fog update code (Thanks!)
- Fixes a bug since 1.0 where --enable-real-weather-fetch stopped the other weather scenarios from working.
-new better panel
-added lights and made them switchable
-doors can be open now (pick animation)
-added some liveries by Brett Harrison
-added paintkit by Brett Harrison
-converted liveries to png
-replaced radio stack with 3d-radios, DME and marker-lights yet missing
-minor bugfixes
-added glass shader with fresnel effect
still work on the interior to do like the seats, walls and so on...
