Hi, I've just pushed some model-loader tweaks, to support the same 'no preview' tags which FGRun supports, for viewing models. Currently only 'fgfs --fgviewer' mode sets the requisite flag, 'fgviewer' probably should but I need to check with Mathias what's a suitable way to control it, since I guess always-on may not be desired.
The changes hide / omit mesh objects which are tagged 'nopreview'; especially, Rembrandt-related lighting volumes are skipped. This is important since otherwise the light volumes confuse osgViewer's bounding-box computation, and hence the rotation centre and initial scale of the model are very wrong. With the changes, --fgviewer mode is usable again with the c172p, f-14b at least. Now, the big question - I was looking at this to restore the Mac launcher's preview mode. I could cherry pick these commits to the release branch, but I want to be cautious, since the model loader is kind of fundamental :) All the code is guarded with an 'if (previewMode)', so I am reasonably confident it can't regress anything else. Or I can wait until 2.10 is out, and then cherry pick to the branch to make a 2.10.1 for Mac with working preview mode - that would be the paranoid solution! Comments / feedback?
