I did not follow that thread carefully until today when I released few models from me was affected by that change. I made the suggested fix ( copy rgb to amb ) as I don't have time to tweak all of them independently. I made changes in the base package CVS repository and they need now to be synch'ed with the scenery database. Martin, I think that b) is preferable, and as quickly as possible. As Mathias already said, that change won't affect users of v1.0.0 or v1.9.1, but will improve the visual of users of the CVS snapshots. Moreover, doing the copy now will allow future tweaking without the fear that ambient color may be overwritten in an unknown ( but certain ) future.
