Seems like a classic thing to investigate (along with about a hundred other potential graphical improvements) once there's an OSG release out in the world - I'm hopeful that messing around with aspects of the rendering (whether it be specular highlights, shadows, precipitation, impostors or clouds) will be easier with the new, much more modern scene-graph. But we need to walk before we can run (or an equivalent flying analogy), and get an OSG release out.

[Flightgear-devel] Chat menu preset phrases, another update to try...
Hello all -- I've been continuing to tweak my preset phrases in the chat menu to my liking and I think I have a set that is pretty useful now. I'm releasing it below under the GNU GPL so feel free to look at it, comment on it, commit it to FG CVS as-is or modified, or even completely ignore it as you see fit, hehehe... The key features I feel I have improved since my last attempt are: (1) no more "Flightgear Approach", which were taken out of the CVS commit version anyway. All phrases either exist as a generic self-announce or are specific to the closest airfield. (2) Every phrase has two versions -- one for use when the detected airport and runway are consistent with your intentions, and one "generic" version of each phrase with no specified airport and runway, for when the detected one does not match your intentions. (3) No subgroups. Options 2-9 give you the class of phrase you wish to use, and then options 2-9 are your phrases -- so, after activating the chat menu, all phrases are available in exactly two keystrokes. (4) "Roger" with callsign is option number nine on almost all of the menus. In addition, the keyphrase [-] [9] [9] is easy to remember as a quick way to answer "Roger." The drawback is that limiting messages to eight groups of eight, in order to keep everything at one level of submenus, means eliminating some of the preset messages such as those associated with formation flying. My personal experience with multiplayer is that those are not often used anyway... however, opinions may differ, of course. So as I said -- use or don't use, commit or don't commit, your choice. But hopefully someone will get some use out of them besides me :) Cheers, -R. Robert M.

So much as I know it was the starting for 3d-clouds rendering in realtime, and the MSFS- clouds are based on Mark Harris idea. But so far as I can remember there was an issue with framesrates? It was a short time in FGFS, right? Maybe we can use different types of cloud rendering- Mark Harris clouds looks fantastic for Cumulonimbus- would like to see different types of clouds which appears realistic to the type of weather (by METAR?)

Did a "half-baked" version of Mark's code a few years back ( never got my head around the plib scene graph stuff even with lots of help from Curt and friends ). Still the visual effects were quite realistic, especially when emerging from a cloud as it thinned and the terrain became visible and the opacity can be varied with the code.A nice feature for investigating the problems associated with transitioning from an IMC instrument approach to visual conditions for flare and landing.

Hi All, Just to keep everyone up to date on where I am with porting 3D clouds to FG OSG: http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/clouds.jpg Obviously there is still a lot of work to be done before they are complete, but progress is being made.

Thank you for the hint. In the meantime I have found out that it is not TriangleJRS that causes the problems, but rather TerraGear itself in that it does some further processing before triangulation but after calculation of the point-in-polygon. I know that CGAL is used by Frederic Bouvier's FlightGear Scenery Designer and maybe using that is an option in case of a TerraGear rewrite ;-) (Note that I do think that the FGSD is a very good thing (TM), we just need something that can do batches of work on a headless machine - such as regenerating World Scenery on some high-performance machine nearly on the other side of the globe ;-) ) Currently, I am working on a fix that involves doing the point-in-polygon calculations _after_ the creation of the vertex and edge lists. This way the points-in-polygon should be consistent with the constrained edges TriangleJRS sees.

They have very robust and well designed computational geometry codes. If you are using the triangulation not with a normal kernel (that uses e.g. double) but with an filtered kernel (or even an exact one...) you'll get reliable results that a guaranteed to be stable.
