Hi,
Not being able to program much makes one think even harder.
This is a new set of goals I came up with:
Human factors
-------------
* Add language support back in
* Add an international font
* Sort the list of available aircraft when displaying
* Improve exceptions support (or remove it) to provide
usefull error messages
* Improve the GUI
- Rearrange for usabillity
- Add aircraft selection menu
FDM/Visual/Sound
----------------
* Add a set terrain qualifiers
- roughness for visual effects
- friction for FDM and audio support
Rendering
---------
* Create a realistically coloured sky dome
* Add (more) realistic night lighting
* Improve star lightness
- Add star light variations due to atmospheric effects
* Blend plannets into the skydome during daytime
* 3D cloud support (partially done)
* Water reflections
* Material edge blending
TerraGear
---------
* Improve natural land cover
- steepness
water:
> 50 degr. waterfall
snow:
> 65 degr. glacier
> 80 degr. rock
city:
> 30 degr. schrub
default:
> 80 degr. rock
> 70 degr. grass + rock
> 60 degr. schrub + grass + rock
< 60 degr. everything
- altitude
n = (180-longitude)*5500
> n glacier
> 0.63n rock + glacier
> 0.50n grass + rock + glacier
> 0.43n schrub + grass + rock + glacier
> 0.30n coniferous + schrub + grass + rock + galcier
< 0.30n everything
