I have tested these modifications to the master branch and in order for the photos to be shown in the terrain, the shadder effect (inside the Rendering Options menu) needs to be set to Performance (0); Otherwise the regular terrain materials will show.
I believe that this patch is a great addition to the Scenery development as it brings us closer to what you will most likely see when flying over that region, and I do second Peter's request for most savvy and expert members to add this change as a part of the master branch.

I do not understand enough of flightgear to be able to push this forward myself. My only involvement in all this are some scenery images I made that use his patch (http://fgphotoscenery.square7.ch, http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15174). On my machine at least, also some modification of terrain-default.eff is necessary, because when using Benoit's patch as he made it, the standard texture is covering the photo texture except for very small regions like streets and just around airports. This is due to the fact that terrain-default.eff has evolved since Benoit made that patch of course. Because I don't know enough about the shaders, I only could make a very violent modification to terrain-default.eff that would allow me to see the photo texture on top. This modification does break a lot of the shading as Vivian and Frederic immediately pointed out. The request for help therefore also includes to have a look at what needs to be modified in terrain-default.eff in order to show the photo texture without breaking all the rest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
