Sorry Vivian, i know you are not involved about:
0.99 is not right => only one example i have described error about
weather scenario and 3d clouds, is it solved?
NO it is not.
Nobody can say 0.99 is right.
Instead of it we get new addons with compilation errors.
Where is the forecast quality ?
This is pretty disrespectful to the person who put in a lot of work to
advance 3d clouds to the point that they are. Yes, there is more work
to be done with 3d clouds, but open-source development is not an all or
nothing thing. The fact that you cite this as your first (best?)
example of the problems with v0.9.9 leads me to believe you have a
fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of open-source development
and the history of 3d clouds in flightgear. There is a reason that 3d
clouds are not yet the default ... that is implicite recognition that
they aren't finished yet. But, they are interesting enough to include
so people can play around with them and enjoy them. So you pointed out
that the clouds are still unfinished. We all know that. The 3d cloud
author will do more work on them when he has a chance I'm sure.
Why don't we move on to more useful and constructive discussions?
Perhaps you wish to help make the 3d clouds better and have some
questions about getting started? That would be a productive discussion.
Since you seem to have a misunderstanding of the open-source culture,
let me say this again. It is the people who make positive contributions
to the project who get to make all the decisions and who get to 'lead'
the project in whatever direction they take it. People who do nothing
but complain, well they do nothing but complain, and that gets old after
a while.
Regards,
Curt.
