Regarding the ugly-borders: together with increasing visibility (decreasing fog) and better texture (third version in developement here on my pc) the ugly-borders nearly disappear and the clouds looks much better (fewer ugly edges in the clouds- sorting looks much better; much softer shading!) Is there a way to exclude the 3d-clouds by overdrawn from the fog? (like it is possible with the terrain?) http://www.flightgear.org/forums/download/file.php?id=382 Regards HHS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
