- Terrain and clouds and now rendered on the envmap, with correct aerial
perspective.
- Each face is rendered on a separate frame to help with performance.
- All faces are updated every 1.5 minutes. This can be changed through a
property.
- New atmosphering rendering technique based on my own work.
- Attempt to fix some remaining transparency issues.
- Use a luminance histogram for auto exposure.
- Add support for clustered shading.
- Add WS 2.0 shaders.
- Add 3D cloud shaders.
- Add orthoscenery support.
See related SimGear commit e8ffe461
Now the orthophoto texture coordinates are contained in gl_TexCoord[2],
so no need to pass any custom vertex attributes to Effects that use
photoscenery.

Terrain shaders: Fix terrain overlays not rendering correctly with overlays enabled (WS2 terrain shaders, not WS3). Fixes issue 2648: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/2648/ . The 1st pass for the overlays technique is a copy of the ALS ultra shaders pass, and it needed an update adding a new uniform.
- All non-ALS Effects have been removed (except generic ones from model-default and terrain-default).
- The rendering dialog has been reworked to accomodate the changes.
- All necessary properties have been added to graphics-properties.xml
- Five graphics presets have been added: Minimal, Low, Medium, High and Ultra.
- Some unused properties have been removed from defaults.xml
- 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.
Talking with Emilian about this commit, we came to the conclusion we don't want share uniform between .eff file
This reverts commit 91a6a27f32ee5f79e1d7e0d4570e879a902de58f.
Remove heavy early-Z passes from various default rendering effects.
Equates to a 25% FPS gain on Mac (no difference on my Linux box).
(Early-Z is fine in principle, but should use trivial shaders and no
lighting, texturing or fog. In local testing no measurable benefit
was found in even a true early-Z pass)
This should help those checking out models in fgviewer
To enable effects in fgviewer run it with:
fgviewer --prop /sim/rendering/shaders/quality-level -1
Also fix random buildings not showing up when model shader was set to 0 and generic was enabled.

such as snow level, dust, wetness, and texture set.
Also add a parameter to control whether the snow level moves with METAR,
and retire /environment/mysnow-level-m.
