I've made some simple Hawaii textures based on real, freely available USGS aerial imagery of Oahu. I have sand, grass, scrub and farming textures so far. I'd be happy to provide these even though they're not excellent. Cheers John

The 20100328 version has the geometry shader code. You should try the landmass shader of marsh 28th that doesn't use it, and then the one of the 29th that use it. And of course try to disable the landmass shader and only that one. Oliver, the relevant options for rendering are those shown by fg

Hi, I noticed that parts of the geometry shader of the landmass shader were introduced into CVS  after the .exe was done. So the landmass-shader don't work as expected and I can see a heavy impact on fps. I have a quite strong computer, so it may be much worse on less strong computers so this ma
