As soon as we're having proper OSG-based shadows in FlightGear, I don't see why the same effects couldn't be done here as well. These are the 3 biggest things I've always been ultimately disappointed by in any flight sim. Dense forests are possible by tweaking the 'tree-density' parameter in 'materials.xml' and nice grass textures, well, need someone to care for the textures. It's as simple as that. If we stop scaring developers away, then we're certainly having a chance of getting even better textures than we currently have :-) Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

It's as simple as that. Nice looking grass textures are surprisingly difficult to do... I noticed that those guys use some fancy effects to get such a nice looking result ( a free fractal channel has been used to mix three textures (daisies, grass and a lighter grass) together). We have a more basic problem though - there's something very odd indeed about the way our grass runway textures are mapped, which was beyond my capabilities to fix when I looked at it (quite some time ago now). I'm sure with all the new effects capabilities in FG something equally impressive can be done though...

Cheers, Martin. I tend to agree, the Google code issue tracker lumps everything in together. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to separate them out. I have only had a cursory look over the options though. You have a lot of flexibility with the search options. You can restrict the display to show only the labels you want. This would be more useful if there weren't already a large number of labels; these should probably be reduced to 10 categories or so. Whether or not John Denker deserves his own label is debatable :) Tim -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
