Howdy,

I hope I'm not posting on an already solved issue-- a search didn't
find anything that directly addresses this, though I found lots of
tangential stuff.

For quite some time many models will endlessly spew the following
warning to the console:

Warning: detected OpenGL error 'invalid operation' at after RenderBin::draw(..)

This may be dependent on graphics cards-- I have an ATI-based HD 3850
from a few years ago, so maybe many folks don't see this warning. I
think there's also a way to suppress it. But it was bugging me that my
own older models spew this warning while my newer efforts don't. At
first I figured it was a 3D model or shader issue, but I found that
eliminating all 3D models and animations down to a simple non-textured
cube had no effect.

Working under FG 2.4 with various -set.xml files, after a lengthy
process of elimination and replacement I finally found what is
triggering the warnings: the 'radar' instrumentation module. When I
remove that module from the instrumentation import XML, the warnings
stop. The radar module is included in the generic instrumentation file
that many aircraft use, Aircraft/Generic/generic-instrumentation.xml,
which explained why so many planes generate the warning.

Maybe this has already been found and addressed for the next FG
version. If so, cool. I wonder though, should the radar module be
enabled in the default instrumentation file, rather than at least
commented-out? It seems a hefty module, and many general aviation
models wouldn't need it.

Anyway, hope this helps others.
