No - the Impostor function will be committed after the 2.6.0 release.

Thanks - working fine here!
Does this contain the impostor functionality already or not?

What's more important from high altitude is what happens beyond view

together you will see the earth curvature start to form.
The FlightGear world model lets you fly accurate great circle routes, and

Local Weather is now (almost) in the shape I would like to see in the
release, and I've worked quite a bit through the list of issues:

I've corrected that.
